The paper identifies corticospinal neuron subpopulations with opposing activity dynamics and shows they converge to shape spinal interneuron computations during skilled movement.

The paper identifies a cortico-cerebellar pathway that modulates ipsilateral limb movement, showing its role in initiation and coordination without affecting contralateral movement.

This study identifies Crabp1 neurons in the arcuate hypothalamus as regulators of energy expenditure and body weight in mice through structural and functional analyses.

The paper identifies DBT as a metabolic regulator that suppresses proteotoxicity by enhancing ubiquitinated protein clearance under proteasomal impairment.

The paper characterizes the organization of midbrain cholinergic neurons by reconstructing their axonal projections and identifying distinct subtypes based on their connectivity patterns.

The paper creates a whole-brain connectivity atlas of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the mouse dorsal and median raphe nucleus, revealing distinct projection patterns and input sources.

The paper maps functional domains and subnetworks in the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic loop in mice, revealing complex patterns of convergence and divergence.

The paper provides a detailed cellular-resolution map of the mouse primary motor cortex, defining cell types and their connectivity.

Complete morphologies of 1,708 neurons, sparsely labelled and imaged whole-brain with fMOST, expose region-specific long-range projection rules and finer diversity than current transcriptomic subtypes capture.

This paper introduces MAP-ENVIVIDERS, a vector mixing-based virus cocktail that significantly improves neurocircuit tracing efficiency and sensitivity compared to existing methods.

The paper develops a multi-fluorescent rabies virus tracing tool to map corticothalamic projection neuron subsets in the primary visual cortex, revealing their layer-specific distribution and multi-target connectivity.
