Embryonic macrophages chronologically change their brain-entry routes and competence for neural progenitor-induced microglial differentiation

The paper shows that macrophages enter the developing mouse brain through different routes at different embryonic stages and that their ability to become microglia depends on their proximity to neural progenitors and TGF-β signaling.

Combined transcriptomic, connectivity, and activity profiling of the medial amygdala using highly amplified multiplexed in situ hybridization (hamFISH)

The paper introduces hamFISH, a method for multiplexed in situ hybridization to profile gene expression, connectivity, and activity in the medial amygdala of mice, identifying 16 inhibitory and 10 excitatory neuron types.
