The paper characterizes the 3D organization of large axons in human white matter, revealing distinct architectural patterns across different brain regions.

This study develops 2D and 3D human in vitro neurovascular unit models to investigate microglial interactions with endothelial cells and their role in neurovascular function under inflammatory conditions.

The paper introduces ExA-SPIM, a microscope that enables high-resolution imaging of large tissue samples without sectioning, demonstrating its use on mouse brains and human white matter.

The paper introduces a computational pipeline for automated tracing and assembly of axons across serial sections, validated on centimeter-scale data for orientation analysis and proofreading.

The paper visualizes dense distributions of immunolabeled proteins in adult macaque visual cortex using expansion microscopy and light sheet imaging, enabling multimodal atlas creation.

The paper shows motion/direction-sensitive thalamic neurons project more to middle layers of V1 than previously thought, challenging existing views on thalamocortical organization.

The paper observes that cholinergic and noradrenergic axons in the mouse primary visual cortex show increased activity during pupil dilation and locomotion, with fluorescence changes preceding and lasting beyond pupil dilation.
