The paper creates a single-cell atlas of amniote brains to study cell type diversification and identifies species-specific gene expression patterns and novel cell subtypes.

The paper identifies a parabrachial-hypothalamic parallel circuit in mice that governs cold defense by activating thermogenesis and other responses.

This study shows that oxytocin acts on astrocytes in the central amygdala to promote a positive emotional state, challenging the notion that oxytocin only affects neurons.

The paper identifies two distinct neuron types in the lateral parabrachial nucleus that encode thermoregulation variables during heat defense.

This study shows that the estrus-cycle modulates cortical inhibition in female rats by altering fast-spiking interneuron activity via estrogen receptor β.
