The paper uses temporal single-cell RNA sequencing to study Calca neurons in mice and identifies BDNF as a key driver of persistent nociplastic pain.

Single cell RNA sequencing reveals how adolescent sex hormones sculpt hypothalamic cell types required for mating behavior.

The paper develops two genetically encoded tools to monitor and silence neuropeptide release in vivo, revealing neuropeptides, not glutamate, as the primary transmitter in Pavlovian threat learning.

The paper characterizes PBN neuron subclusters using single-cell RNA sequencing and maps their axonal projections, identifying 21 subclusters and two major ascending pathways.

The paper investigates how pubertal sex hormones regulate transcriptional changes in the medial preoptic area of mice during puberty, revealing sexually dimorphic gene regulatory networks.

PIXEL-seq barcodes tissue sections with continuous polony clusters on a gel surface, reporting ≤1 µm resolution and >1,000 unique molecular identifiers per 10x10 µm2.

The paper investigates how parabrachial CGRP neurons control unconditioned responses and associative fear learning through distinct neural projections.
