This study investigates how birth timing influences the wiring and physiological response properties of cerebellar granule cells by comparing early- and late-born cells using viral tracing and in vivo imaging.

The paper examines how transcriptomic types of mouse prefrontal cortex projection neurons relate to axonal projections and encoding properties across cognitive tasks, finding redundant but quantitatively biased task signal encoding.

The paper characterizes serotonin neuron subtypes in the dorsal and medial raphe nuclei using single-cell RNA sequencing and maps their axonal projections to understand their functional diversity.

This paper introduces a method to map brain slices to a reference atlas without 3D reconstruction, achieving results comparable to experts and better than reconstruction-first approaches.

This study identifies distinct sub-systems within the dorsal raphe serotonin system with different connectivity, physiological responses, and behavioral functions.
