The paper identifies cell type-specific enhancers for the DLPFC in NHPs using single nucleus RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq, validates them with AAV injections, and demonstrates functional expression in specific neuron types.

This study examines the developmental trajectory of motor learning in mice, finding peak plasticity between P30-P60 and a shift from hopping to walking gait.

The paper compares topographic precision of ipsilateral and contralateral cortical projections in frontal, motor, and somatosensory areas of mice, finding stronger contralateral projections in frontal regions.

The paper shows that temporarily increasing dopamine in a Parkinson's mouse model preserves motor function, neuron structure, and specific neural inputs.

The paper demonstrates that long-range GABAergic neurons expressing Tacr1 mediate neurovascular coupling through vasodilation and capillary pericyte activity.

The paper examines how cortical and thalamic inputs target specific inhibitory neurons in mouse motor cortex, revealing distinct laminar and cell-type-specific connectivity patterns.

The paper investigates how feedforward inhibition is recruited in mouse motor cortex by analyzing correlated inputs to pyramidal and parvalbumin interneurons.

The paper identifies Npas1+-Nkx2.1+ neurons as a distinct subclass of GPe neurons and describes their role in the cortico-pallido-cortical loop.

NeuroInfo automatically registers experimental mouse brain sections with a 3D atlas to accurately identify brain regions, improving navigation and reducing observer error.

This study compares somatotopic precision in corticostriatal projections from two cortical cell types, finding IT-type neurons show higher stereotypy than PT-type neurons.

The paper identifies homeobox transcription factors as key drivers of neuronal diversity through improved expression metrics and links long genes to regulatory elements and mobile elements.
