This study uses a CNN-RNN deep learning model to classify mouse behavioral states from cortex-wide calcium imaging data, identifying key somatosensory regions involved in behavior classification.

The paper uses VR-based real-time imaging to study cortical functional connectivity dynamics during behavioral transitions in a mouse model of autism, finding altered FC patterns in motor areas associated with motor clumsiness.

The paper establishes genetically modified mouse embryonic stem cell lines for autism spectrum disorder research and uses single-cell RNA sequencing to identify cell-type and CNV-specific molecular features.

The paper identifies two subsets of insular cortex neurons in mice that encode social exploration behavior differently during interactions with social targets.
