Advanced electron microscopy techniques have been applied to comprehensively describe the cellular details and ultrastructural characteristics of all sensilla within the external sensory system of Drosophila larvae.
A neurogenetic approach reveals the cellular division of labor between individual Drosophila larval dopaminergic neurons encoding an averive teaching signal, reflecting principles in the adult insect and vertebrate brain.

Hypothalamic microglia play an essential role in mediating changes to feeding circuitry caused by exposure to maternal HFD that may contribute to developmental programming of metabolic phenotype.
Individuals with a late circadian rhythm show the same deficits in motivational decision-making as those with neuropsychiatric symptoms, but only when tested in the morning.
A longitudinal, deep learning approach reveals challenges and opportunities in establishing brain age as an effective metric of aging, with particular consideration given to underrepresented populations in Asia.
Functional neural circuit dissection identifies sensorimotor responses to noxious cold in Drosophila larvae revealing complex mechanisms by which nervous systems sense and respond to cold.
Separating alpha oscillations from broadband activity reveals that alpha suppression in the human visual cortex is highly localized, and modulates cortical state in a manner consistent with exogenous spatial attention.

Fingertip tactile neurons collectively encode the skin's viscoelastic state alongside current touch, potentially enabling the brain to better interpret forces during manipulation.
