Whole-brain axon tracing in 110 mouse brains divides raphe serotonin neurons into five projectomic groups, tied to transcriptome plus position and to dissociable behavioral effects of depletion.

The paper identifies a conserved postprandial metabolite, pTOS, that links nutrient intake to energy balance through a gut-brain pathway in pythons and mice, with potential relevance to humans.

This paper introduces a color-neutral and reversible tissue transparency method that enables longitudinal deep-tissue imaging in live mice with high spatiotemporal resolution.

This paper introduces an adaptive optical third-harmonic generation microscope that improves in vivo imaging by correcting optical aberrations in complex tissues.

This study identifies a CeA-GPe circuit that conveys unconditioned stimulus information and controls fear learning in mice.
