From injury to recovery: Functional neuronal regeneration after traumatic brain injury in the telencephalon of the young adult African turquoise killifish

This study investigates functional neuronal regeneration after traumatic brain injury in killifish, showing that new neurons integrate into circuits and enable behavioral recovery over 50 days.

Early life growth and cellular heterogeneity in the short-lived African turquoise killifish telencephalon

This study maps the telencephalon growth and cellular diversity in the African turquoise killifish during early post-embryonic development, identifying dynamic neurogenic niches and spatial differences in growth patterns.

Ongoing activation of visual cortex and superior colliculus in the rd10 mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa

The paper investigates whether visual cortex and superior colliculus in rd10 mice show cross-modal plasticity after retinal degeneration, finding no significant changes in tactile or auditory responses but detecting abnormal oscillatory activity.

Single-cell sequencing unravels the cellular diversity that shapes neuro- and gliogenesis in the fast aging killifish (N. furzeri) brain

The paper uses scRNA-seq and ISO-seq to identify cell types in the killifish telencephalon, revealing progenitor diversity and neuronal subtypes involved in neuro- and gliogenesis.

Age-related dysregulation of the retinal transcriptome in African turquoise killifish

This study uses bulk and single-cell RNA-seq to analyze age-related transcriptome changes in the African turquoise killifish retina, identifying oxidative stress, gliosis, and inflammageing, and highlighting dysregulation of retinal disease genes.

Aging impairs the essential contributions of non-glial progenitors to neurorepair in the dorsal telencephalon of the Killifish N. furzeri

This study shows that aging impairs neurorepair in killifish by reducing non-glial progenitor activity and increasing inflammation and glial scarring.

Reconsidering the border between the visual and posterior parietal cortex of mice

The paper redefines the mouse posterior parietal cortex (PPC) by identifying it as containing at least six sub-regions based on connectivity patterns and input sources.

Spatially segregated responses to visuo-tactile stimuli in mouse neocortex during active sensation

The paper investigates multisensory integration in mouse neocortex by examining tactile and visual responses in primary sensory areas during active sensation, finding segregation of responses in primary cortices.
