Abstract Structure and function are highly correlated in the vertebrate retina, a sensory tissue
that is organized into cell layers with microcircuits working in parallel and together to encode …

Primary somatosensory neurons convey salient information about our external environment
and internal state to the CNS, allowing us to detect, perceive, and react to a wide range of …

A catalogue of neuronal cell types has often been called a 'parts list'of the brain, and
regarded as a prerequisite for understanding brain function,. In the optic lobe of Drosophila …

When 3D electron microscopy and calcium imaging are used to investigate the structure and
function of neural circuits, the resulting datasets pose new challenges of visualization and …

Contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL) is a process whereby a cell ceases motility or changes
its trajectory upon collision with another cell. CIL was initially characterized more than half a …

Dysregulation of neural stem cells (NSCs) is associated with several neurodevelopmental
disorders, including epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder. The mammalian target of …

Dendritic arborizations of many neurons are patterned by a process called self-avoidance, in
which branches arising from a single neuron repel each other,,,,,,. By minimizing gaps and …

Multicellular systems, from bacterial biofilms to human organs, form interfaces (or
boundaries) between different cell collectives to spatially organize versatile functions,. The …

The nervous system is populated by numerous types of neurons, each bearing a dendritic
arbor with a characteristic morphology. These type-specific features influence many aspects …

Serotonergic neurons project their axons pervasively throughout the brain and innervate
various target fields in a space-filling manner, leading to tiled arrangements of their axon …
