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: Hydrogel-based structures can be built from within biological tissue to allow subsequent removal of lipids without mechanical disassembly of the tissue, creating a tissue-hydrogel hybrid that is physically stable, that preserves fine structure, proteins and nucleic acids, and that is permeable to both visible-spectrum photons and exogenous macromolecules.

TL;DR: Cortico-cortical connectivity map and connectivity matrices revealed that the entire cortex is organized into four somatic sensorimotor, two medial, and two lateral subnetworks that display unique topologies and can interact through select cortical areas.

Transparent, flexible, low-noise graphene electrodes for simultaneous electrophysiology and neuro-imaging
TL;DR: A transparent, flexible neural electrode technology based on graphene is reported, which enables simultaneous optical imaging and electrophysiological recording and may pave the way for high spatio-temporal resolution electro-optic mapping of the dynamic neuronal activity.

Surface imaging microscopy, an automated method for visualizing whole embryo samples in three dimensions at high resolution
TL;DR: SIM offers excellent imaging of embryos from three major vertebrate systems in developmental biology: mouse, chicken, and frog and provided a more accurate three‐dimensional representation of a chick embryo than confocal microscopy of the same sample.

A biophysical signature of network affiliation and sensory processing in mitral cells

TL;DR: It is shown that the amplitude of hyperpolarization-evoked sag of membrane potential recorded in olfactory bulb mitral cells is an emergent, homotypic property of local networks and sensory information processing that reflects differential expression between local mitral cell networks processing distinct odour-related information.

Activity-Induced Remodeling of Olfactory Bulb Microcircuits Revealed by Monosynaptic Tracing

TL;DR: It is shown that postnatal-born granule cells form synaptic connections with centrifugal inputs and mitral/tufted cells in the mouse olfactory bulb, and the connectivity of short axon cells shows clustered organization, suggesting that sensory experience promotes the synaptic integration of new neurons into cell type-specific olfaction circuits.

New developments in tracing neural circuits with herpesviruses.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the widespread use of attenuated strains of pseudorabies virus (PRV), a swine herpesvirus with a broad host range, and new applications of PRV for tract tracing including use of multiple infections by PRV reporter viruses to test for circuit convergence/divergence within the same animal.
