Mapping brain circuitry with a light microscope.
TLDR
An overview of the present state and future opportunities in charting long-range and local connectivity in the entire mouse brain and in linking brain circuits to function is presented.Abstract:
The beginning of the 21st century has seen a renaissance in light microscopy and anatomical tract tracing that together are rapidly advancing our understanding of the form and function of neuronal circuits. The introduction of instruments for automated imaging of whole mouse brains, new cell type–specific and trans-synaptic tracers, and computational methods for handling the whole-brain data sets has opened the door to neuroanatomical studies at an unprecedented scale. We present an overview of the present state and future opportunities in charting long-range and local connectivity in the entire mouse brain and in linking brain circuits to function.read more

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors applied MALDI-mass spectrometry imaging and deuterium pulse labelling to determine lipid levels and synthesis rates in the hippocampus of a transgenic mouse model of HD (R6/1 line).
Interrogation of Neural Circuits of the Basal Forebrain and Midbrain for Sleep-Wake Regulation
TL;DR: Do et al. as discussed by the authors performed whole-brain mapping of both inputs and outputs of basal forebrain (BF) cell types in the mouse brain to better understand the functional specialization of these cell types.

The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates
TL;DR: The 3rd edition of this atlas is now in more practical 14"x11" format for convenient lab use and includes a CD of all plates and diagrams, as well as Adobe Illustrator files of the diagrams, and a variety of additional useful material.

Two-Photon Laser Scanning Fluorescence Microscopy
TL;DR: The fluorescence emission increased quadratically with the excitation intensity so that fluorescence and photo-bleaching were confined to the vicinity of the focal plane as expected for cooperative two-photon excitation.

Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex
TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.
