This study identifies conserved and clade-specific hypothalamic cell types across vertebrates using single-cell transcriptomics, revealing conserved transcription factors and rewired regulatory linkages.

The paper shows that neuropeptidergic signaling is necessary for line attractor dynamics in the ventromedial hypothalamus encoding aggressiveness.

This study shows that Calsyntenin-3 interacts with specific neurexin variants to promote excitatory synapse development in the hippocampus.

This study shows that Npas4 regulates IQSEC3 expression in SST interneurons, affecting GABAergic synapse function and anxiety-like behavior.
