The paper identifies a multivalent adhesion complex in glia that promotes dendrite extension through interactions involving SAX-7/L1CAM, MAGI-1, HMR-1/Cadherin, and AFD-1/Afadin.

This study identifies Nrxn3 as essential for ribbon-synapse assembly in hair cells across mouse and zebrafish models, showing its critical role in synaptic function without affecting acoustic startle behavior.

The paper develops improved genetically-encoded cAMP sensors, cAMPFIREs, for high-sensitivity in vivo imaging of cAMP dynamics in neurons and Drosophila.

This study shows that loss of the ECM protein DIG-1 in C. elegans causes glial fragmentation, dendrite breakage, and dendrite extension defects.

This study shows that long-term neuronal activity in C. elegans URX sensory neurons leads to dendritic branch elaboration, independent of oxygen sensitivity.

The paper identifies SAX-7 and GRDN-1 as essential for dendrite development through retrograde extension in C. elegans neurons.
