This study identifies specific developmental epigenomic states that enable ZFTA-RELA-driven ependymoma formation and reveals how these states shape tumor progression.

This study shows that locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons regulate orbitofrontal cortex cognitive map stability and behavioral flexibility through bidirectional signaling.

The paper identifies Hox5's role in organizing and specializing brainstem neurons critical for breathing, showing its necessity for respiratory function and survival.

The paper identifies C1 adrenergic neurons in the brainstem that promote anxiety via projections to the PAG and shows their role in stress-induced anxiety-like behaviors.

This study investigates how developmental changes in mPFC circuits influence behavioral strategies in juvenile, adolescent, and adult mice by manipulating and monitoring brain activity during threat responses.

The paper introduces ConVERGD, a single-construct intersectional AAV strategy for targeting specific cell populations, and demonstrates its use in targeting NE+ LC neurons expressing Pdyn in rodents.

This study shows that coordinated cadherin activity in respiratory motor neurons and interneurons is essential for proper circuit connectivity and breathing function.

The paper introduces a genome-wide MADM mouse library enabling single-cell genetic mosaic analysis and uses it to study chromosome-specific segregation biases in stem cell division.
