The paper identifies local inhibitory dynamics in mouse barrel cortex that support temporal integration and functional segregation between barrels and septa during whisker stimulation.

This study shows human brain organoids can mature over 5 years in culture, transcriptionally aging and retaining memory of time spent in vitro.

The paper introduces a multi-donor brain organoid model called Chimeroids to study individual genetic variation in neurotoxin susceptibility.

This study shows that Prox1 regulates the final specification of VIP interneuron subtypes by controlling Elfn1 function in post-mitotic stages.

The paper identifies a developmental transition in VIP+ and SST+ interneurons in the mouse barrel cortex around P14, where their responses to multi-whisker stimuli diverge and their thalamic inputs shift.

The paper identifies CCK+ S1-CST neurons as a major cortical input to the spinal dorsal horn and characterizes their synaptic connections and molecular diversity.

The paper introduces mesoSPIM, an open-source light-sheet microscope initiative for imaging large cleared tissue samples with near-isotropic resolution.
