This study shows that the songbird brain can adjust individual neurons with millisecond precision using dopamine signals, challenging the idea that reinforcement learning is slow and imprecise.

The paper introduces a new optical design for head-mounted microscopes that reduces weight and increases field-of-view for imaging neurons in mice and songbirds.

This paper introduces RNA timestamps to infer RNA age using A-to-I editing, enabling temporal analysis of gene expression in single-cell RNA sequencing.
