The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly and transcriptome resource for the medicinal leech Hirudo verbana using PacBio and Hi-C data.

The paper introduces image-scanning light-sheet microscopy to enable high-speed volumetric imaging of complex biological dynamics with improved speed while maintaining resolution and efficiency.

The paper investigates how a motor neuron dynamically switches roles across behaviors without changing its anatomical connections by analyzing circuit anatomy and activity patterns.

The paper develops a double-sided microscope for whole-ganglion voltage imaging in medicinal leeches and uses it to analyze neuronal dynamics in sensory processing and behavior generation.
