The paper quantifies ACh/GABA co-transmitting neurons in the mouse brain using a combination of transgenic labeling, imaging, and machine learning.

This paper introduces a method for targeted gene transfer into specific cell populations of the fetal primate brain using ultrasound-guided viral injections.

This paper identifies distinct roles of dopamine D3 and D1 receptors in regulating motivation and reinforcement in the nucleus accumbens, showing compartmentalized signaling within the same cell type.

The paper identifies a conserved excitatory neuron gradient in human mediodorsal thalamus using single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics, linking it to psychiatric disorder risk.

The paper identifies a thalamo-preoptic pathway that controls social touch by bypassing the cerebral cortex, involving PTH2-expressing neurons and a conserved circuit across species.
