Patterning and growth control in vivo by an engineered GFP gradient
Morphogens provide positional information during tissue development. For this behavior to occur, morphogens must spread out and form a concentration gradient; however, their mechanism of transport remains a matter of debate. Stapornwongkul et al....

NPAS4 recruits CCK basket cell synapses and enhances cannabinoid-sensitive inhibition in the mouse hippocampus
Behaviorally-driven expression of the immediate early gene transcription factor NPAS4 changes local circuit connectivity and short-term plasticity by selectively recruiting CCK basket cell synapses to pyramidal neuron somas.

We were discussing figure design the other day, right? She's showing images from elifesciences.org/articles/35927 and they are just pretty AF.

Vision Changes the Cellular Composition of Binocular Circuitry during the Critical Period
Tan et al. demonstrate that visually evoked responses of binocular neurons improve
across the critical period. This is caused by changing the cellular composition of
the binocular pool. Poorly tuned binocular neurons become monocular, while...

Pituitary puzzle gets a new piece, revising evolutionary history | Keck School of Medicine of USC
Insights into century-old controversy about key gland's development arise from research led by the Keck School of Medicine of USC By Wayne Lewis A new USC-led study suggests a change to the developmental — and evolutionary — story of the pituitary...
Orderly compartmental mapping of premotor inhibition in the developing zebrafish spinal cord
Motor neuron circuits in the zebrafish spinal cord support both the rapid evasion response and the leisurely swimming response. Kishore et al. now follow the development of inhibitory interneurons as these circuits are assembled in the larva....
Neuronal Circuits That Control Rhythmic Pectoral Fin Movements in Zebrafish
The most basic form of locomotion in limbed vertebrates consists of alternating activities of the flexor and extensor muscles within each limb coupled with left/right limb alternation. Although larval zebrafish are not limbed, their pectoral fin...

Population scale nucleic acid delivery to Caenorhabditis elegans via electroporation
The free-living nematode C. elegans remains one of the most robust and flexible genetic systems for interrogating the complexities of animal biology. Targeted genetic manipulations, such as RNA interference (RNAi), CRISPR or array-based...
