This study shows that newts exhibit behavioral and cellular plasticity when transitioning between aquatic and terrestrial environments, revealing how nervous system changes support adaptation.

The paper shows that glial cell states influence neuron regeneration in newts, with quiescent glial cells biasing the types of neurons regenerated across life stages.

The paper shows that cortical layering in tetrapods follows conserved developmental principles, with mammals displaying an inverted layer order.

This study identifies molecular signatures of ancestral cell types in mammalian olfactory cortex neurons by comparing transcriptomes across species and cortical layers.

This paper identifies AAV serotypes effective for transducing amphibian CNS cells and develops tools for neural circuit tracing and manipulation in multiple amphibian species.

This study identifies cell type innovations in salamander forebrain evolution, showing similarities to both sauropsid DVR and mammalian neocortex.
