Sleep is an evolutionarily conserved state that supports brain functions, including synaptic
plasticity, in species across the animal kingdom. Here, we examine the neuroanatomical …

Advances in brain connectomics have demonstrated the extraordinary complexity of neural
circuits. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Developing neurons encounter the axons and dendrites of many …

At synapses, chemical neurotransmission mediates the exchange of information between
neurons, leading to complex movement, behaviors, and stimulus processing. The immense …

Sensory experience during developmental critical periods has lifelong consequences for
circuit function and behavior, but the molecular and cellular mechanisms through which …

The PSD-95 homolog, DLG1, is important for excitatory synapse structure and function
throughout the Drosophila nervous system. In this issue of Cell Reports Methods, Parisi et al …

Behaviorally relevant, higher order representations of an animal's environment are built from
the convergence of visual features encoded in the early stages of visual processing …
