The paper introduces Seq-o-Matic, an open-source automated in situ sequencer that reduces hands-on time and improves sequencing consistency across tissue sections.

The paper maps gene expression and axonal projections of neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex to reveal how retinotopy and cell-type-specific collateralization organize visual-stream output.

The paper identifies topographic organization in locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons, linking their morphology, gene expression, and activity to specific brain regions and learning-related behaviors.

The paper identifies coordinated gene expression between spatially adjacent cells across multiple brain datasets, revealing biological processes and potential therapeutic targets.

The paper uses BARseq to analyze transcriptomic signatures in mouse cortex, showing that cell type composition defines area identity and is shaped by peripheral inputs.

The paper identifies synaptic integration sites and modulator release patterns in the cardiac ganglion of the crab, Cancer borealis, using immunohistochemical techniques.

The paper develops a computational model to explain how neurons retain memory of past perturbations through hidden changes in conductance regulation.

The paper investigates how elevated extracellular potassium affects neuronal activity in the crab pyloric circuit, revealing transient loss followed by recovery of spiking and bursting activity.
