Multiplexed mapping of long-range projections with FluoCode, a combinatorial fluorescent barcoding system

The paper introduces FluoCode, a fluorescent barcoding system for multiplexed projection mapping in mice and marmosets, revealing fine-scale topographic maps in subcortical regions.

A vagal sensory pathway for satiety suppression by intestinal fructose

The paper identifies a vagal sensory pathway activated by intestinal fructose that does not suppress food intake, unlike glucose, potentially contributing to overconsumption of fructose.

Isotonic and minimally invasive optical clearing media for live cell imaging ex vivo and in vivo

This paper develops a minimally invasive optical clearing medium for live mammalian tissue imaging, enabling structural and functional imaging with minimal impact on cellular properties.

Automated neuronal reconstruction with super-multicolour fluorescence imaging

This paper introduces a method for automated neuronal circuit reconstruction using super-multicolour fluorescence imaging and an unsupervised clustering algorithm.

Activity-dependent lateral inhibition signals for synaptic competition

The paper shows how activity-dependent lateral inhibition through NMDAR-RhoA signals determines synaptic competition and pruning in the olfactory bulb and barrel cortex.

BMPR-2 gates activity-dependent stabilization of dendrites during mitral cell remodeling

This study identifies BMPR-2 as a key regulator of dendrite stabilization in mitral cells through interactions with LIMK and neuronal activity.

Widespread inhibition, antagonism, and synergy in mouse olfactory sensory neurons in vivo

The paper investigates odor responses in mouse olfactory sensory neurons, finding inhibition, antagonism, and synergy at the peripheral stage.
