Transgenic methods enable the selective manipulation of neurons for functional mapping of
neuronal circuits. Using confocal microscopy, we have imaged the cellular-level expression …

One of the most important decisions animals have to make is how to respond to an attack
from a potential predator. The response must be prompt and appropriate to ensure survival. …

Atlases provide a framework for spatially mapping information from diverse sources into a
common reference space. Specifically, brain atlases allow annotation of gene expression, cell …

10.7554/eLife.42687.001 Decoding the functional connectivity of the nervous system is
facilitated by transgenic methods that express a genetically encoded reporter or effector in …

Many species execute ballistic escape reactions to avoid imminent danger. Despite fast
reaction times, responses are often highly regulated, reflecting a trade-off between costly motor …

Large-scale genomic studies have recently identified genetic variants causative for major
neurodevelopmental disorders, such as intellectual disability and autism. However, …

Agouti-related protein (AgRP) is a hypothalamic regulator of food consumption in mammals.
However, AgRP has also been detected in circulation, but a possible endocrine role has not …

Potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 15 (Kctd15) was previously found to
have a role in early neural crest (NC) patterning, specifically delimiting the region where NC …

Rapid escape responses are critical for predator avoidance in fish. Yet, while short-latency C-start
(SLCs) circuitry is well-known (eg, Mauthner and related cells), neurons integral to …
