brain-mapping

University of Illinois researchers publish Connectome-seq in Nature Methods, using RNA barcodes to map over 1,000 neurons at single-synapse resolution and uncover previously unknown connectivity patterns in the mouse brain.

A Nature Neuroscience study from the Montreal Neurological Institute constructs the first whole-brain atlas of 14 neuropeptide families, uncovering a cortical-subcortical gradient and evidence that neuropeptide refinement coincided with the evolutionary emergence of the neocortex.
