Given its non-invasive nature, there is increasing interest in the use of transcutaneous vagus
nerve stimulation (tVNS) across basic, translational and clinical research …

Prior mouse genetic research has set the stage for a deep understanding of appetite
regulation. This goal is now being realized through the use of recent technological …

Modern genetic approaches are powerful in providing access to diverse cell types in the
brain and facilitating the study of their function. Here, we report a large set of driver and …

To decipher neural circuits underlying brain functions, viral tracers are widely applied to map
input and output connectivity of neuronal populations. Despite the successful application of …

During the past 30 yr, investigating the physiology of eating behaviors has generated a truly
vast literature. This is fueled in part by a dramatic increase in obesity and its comorbidities …

Brodmann has pioneered structural brain mapping. He considered functional and
pathological criteria for defining cortical areas in addition to cytoarchitecture. Starting from …

Cell-type-specific expression of molecular tools and sensors is critical to construct circuit
diagrams and to investigate the activity and function of neurons within the nervous system …

Dendritic spines are small, thin, specialized protrusions from neuronal dendrites, primarily
localized in the excitatory synapses. Sophisticated imaging techniques revealed that …

Over the past half-century, we have gained significant insights into the molecular biology of
long-term memory storage at the level of the synapse. In recent years, our understanding of …

The cerebellar vermis, long associated with axial motor control, has been implicated in a
surprising range of neuropsychiatric disorders and cognitive and affective functions …
