The primary motor cortex (M1) is essential for voluntary fine-motor control and is functionally
conserved across mammals 1 . Here, using high-throughput transcriptomic and epigenomic …

At any given instant, multiple potential targets for saccades are present in the visual world,
implying that a “selection process” within the brain determines the target of the next eye …

Color has become a premier model system for understanding how information is processed
by neural circuits, and for investigating the relationships among genes, neural circuits, and …

Abundant evidence supports the presence of at least three distinct types of thalamocortical (TC)
neurons in the primate dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus, the …

Viral tracers are important tools for neuroanatomical mapping and genetic payload delivery.
Genetically modified viruses allow for cell-type-specific targeting and overcome many …

Viral genetic tools that target specific brain cell types could transform basic neuroscience
and targeted gene therapy. Here, we use comparative open chromatin analysis to identify …
