The paper shows that the neurexin {gamma} isoform is required for glycerol avoidance in adult C. elegans, while other isoforms are needed in juveniles.

The paper develops a method to assess the functional effects of non-coding elements in specific cell types in vivo using a Cre-dependent MPRA approach.

This study shows dopamine signaling in C. elegans regulates egg-laying behavior in response to predator presence, with specific receptor combinations mediating predator-induced and baseline egg-laying changes.

The paper identifies a dynamic hnRNP H RNA targetome in the striatum that responds to methamphetamine, affecting gene expression and behavior.

This study identifies CELF6 mRNA targets using CLIP-Seq and shows CELF6 represses synaptic gene translation by reducing RNA abundance through UGU-rich motifs, extending its known role beyond splicing.

The paper uses CRISPR TRAPseq to show QKI is important for astrocytic maturation and synaptic control in vivo.

This study shows that maternal SSRI exposure during offspring development causes long-term behavioral, cellular, and neuroimaging disruptions, suggesting a direct role in ASD risk.
