TL;DR: This work used two-photon calcium imaging to characterize a functional property—the preferred stimulus orientation—of a group of neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex and large-scale electron microscopy of serial thin sections was used to trace a portion of these neurons’ local network.

TL;DR: Physiological imaging and large-scale electron microscopy are combined to study an excitatory network in superficial mouse visual cortex and found that layer 2/3 neurons organized into subnetworks defined by anatomical connectivity, with more connections within than between groups.

TL;DR: This study reveals a unified molecular genetic landscape of cortical cell types that congruently integrates their transcriptome, open chromatin and DNA methylation maps, and establishes a unified and mechanistic framework of neuronal cell type organization that integrates multi-layered molecular genetic and spatial information with multi-faceted phenotypic properties.

TL;DR: A new capability for analyzing and visualizing brain activity while a subject is performing a cognitive or perceptual task in a magnetic resonance scanner is described.

TL;DR: The design of the NEOSIM framework is presented, and its applicability to a range of modelling studies is discussed, to reduce simulation run times to manageable levels.
