New methods for investigating connectivity between genetically defined neuronal populations are introduced and used to investigate the organisation of excitatory-inhibitory interactions in the superficial entorhinal cortex.

Genetically diverse rats reveal a single underlying construct linking key addiction-like behaviors, challenging compulsivity as an independent measure, and offering a new perspective on vulnerability and resilience to addiction.
The established triple co-culture blood-–brain barrier (BBB) model could be used for predicting drugs’ BBB permeability, and co-culture with neurons and astrocytes enhanced brain endothelial cells’ integrity by secreting GDNF, which upregulated claudin-5 and VE-cadherin expression.
The representation of odor transforms from high dimensional, population level encoding of valence and identity in the OT, to a low dimensional representation of valence in the VP.
Coupling between subcellular localization and protein turnover of a neuronal stress kinase, DLK, and its role in neuronal stress responses in Drosophila.

In neurons of the Drosophila brain’s memory center, PKCδ relays a post-learning dopamine signal to mitochondria, boosting their metabolic activity and thereby unlocking long-term memory formation.

Leptomeningeal inflammation in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis triggers deeply penetrating gene changes in underlying brain tissue, described using spatial transcriptomics.
