The paper identifies ESR1+ neurons in the brainstem that coordinate bladder and urethral sphincter activity during urination.

Mid-infrared modulation promotes collagen production in human and mouse skin without pain or trauma.

The paper identifies a REM sleep-specific hypothalamo-septo-hippocampal circuit essential for social memory consolidation, showing its distinct role from other memory pathways.

The paper shows that descending auditory cortex neurons do not preserve tonotopy, unlike ascending neurons, suggesting feedback processing may involve diverse inputs.

The paper identifies hypothalamic supramammillary neurons projecting to the medial septum as a key circuit for controlling wakefulness through optogenetic and chemogenetic experiments.

This study shows that Piezo2 in outer hair cells is essential for ultrasonic hearing in mice, but not for low-frequency hearing.

The paper introduces a method for multi-area two-photon imaging in awake mice, enabling simultaneous single-cell resolution imaging across different brain regions.
