Estrogen-regulated peptidergic input to gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons from the lateral septal kisspeptin network

The paper identifies estrogen-regulated peptidergic neurons in the lateral septum that project to gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons and reveals their unique transcriptome and potential evolutionary conservation.

Development of a versatile LCM-Seq method for spatial transcriptomics of fluorescently-tagged cholinergic neuron populations

The paper develops an LCM-Seq method for spatial transcriptomics of fluorescently-tagged cholinergic neurons in mice, achieving deep transcriptome profiling with high accuracy.

A thalamo-preoptic pathway promoting social touch

The paper identifies a thalamo-preoptic pathway that controls social touch by bypassing the cerebral cortex, involving PTH2-expressing neurons and a conserved circuit across species.

Somatostatin neurons of the bed nucleus of stria terminalis enhance associative fear memory consolidation in mice

This study shows that activating somatostatin neurons in the BNST enhances cued fear memory consolidation in mice without affecting immediate fear expression.
