The paper identifies functional motor neurons and cerebellum-like structures in the Ciona larval caudal CNS, suggesting homology with vertebrate spinal cord and cerebellum.

The paper introduces methods to prepare Drosophila brains for high-throughput FIB-SEM connectomics, enabling faster and more accurate imaging of neural connections.

This study identifies synaptic connections of T4/T5 neurons in Drosophila, revealing new cell types and connectivity patterns that explain motion signal integration in the visual system.

The paper quantifies presynaptic energy demands and shows mitochondria scale with power demand in Drosophila motor nerve terminals.

A dense electron-microscopy reconstruction of half the fly central brain, with nearly every cell typed and queryable online, turns months of tracing partners into a database lookup.

The paper shows that DIP proteins prevent ectopic synapse formation, suggesting that synaptic specificity is achieved by limiting promiscuous connections rather than promoting specific ones.
