This paper identifies Piezo2's role in refining axonal projections of direction-selective ganglion cells to the accessory optic system, ensuring proper optokinetic reflex function.

This study shows TTC5 regulates tubulin autoregulation in neurons, affecting morphology and migration, and links TTC5 dysfunction to neurodevelopmental disorders.

This study identifies PTPRκ as a regulator of Superior oDSGC density, showing its role in maintaining mosaic patterns and image stabilization during development.

The paper shows that L6CThN neurons form functional synapses preferentially onto PV interneurons, establishing cell-type-specific excitatory connections in the neocortex.

This study identifies Gfi1 as a dual-function transcription factor involved in the differentiation and dendritic development of Down ON-type direction-selective ganglion cells in the mouse retina.

This paper shows that Mef2c regulates the development of cortical neurons and their postnatal axon targeting by modulating EphA6 expression and sensitivity to EphrinA5 repulsion.

This study shows that Sema6A, expressed by retinal ganglion cells, is essential for delineating OFF and ON functional domains in the inner plexiform layer of the mouse retina.

This study identifies drebrin's role in regulating axon branching in cortical neurons and develops tools to analyze single-cell morphology.

This study identifies GSK3β's role in promoting interstitial axon branching in cortical neurons by modulating MAP1B and the tubulin tyrosination cycle.

The paper introduces a semi-automated method to quantify optokinetic reflex tracking acuity in mice, improving measurement speed and accuracy.

The paper shows that palmitoylation of neuropilin-2 is necessary for its localization and function in cortical neurons, and that different palmitoyl acyltransferases regulate its and neuropilin-1's roles in semaphorin signaling.
