This study shows that mice can perform trained fast running without intact primary motor cortex, but the cortex contributes to the spontaneity of running.

This study uses computational modeling to show that AppNL-G-F mice exhibit misclassification in memory modification tasks due to altered internal states.

This study identifies a mechanism for epithelial stratification analogous to a phase transition, driven by foam-geometric instability and nucleation-growth processes.

The paper develops ultrasensitive cAMP and Ca2+ indicators to measure their dynamics in neurons and identifies their roles in signaling and behavior.

The paper identifies a spinal microcircuit involving V2a and V2b neurons that coordinate ipsilateral body movements during locomotion, showing antagonistic and synergistic roles in motor control.

This study shows Jag1 modulates oscillatory Dll1-Notch-Hes1 signaling in pancreatic progenitors to coordinate their growth and fate, with Jag1 also specifying most bipotent progenitors.

This study uses orexin-Flp knock-in mice to distinguish orexin-dependent and -independent functions of orexin neurons, finding orexin is essential for sustained arousal and basic neuronal properties.
