A mesoscale connectome of the mouse brain

TL;DR: A brain-wide, cellular-level, mesoscale connectome for the mouse, using enhanced green fluorescent protein-expressing adeno-associated viral vectors to trace axonal projections from defined regions and cell types, and high-throughput serial two-photon tomography to image the EGFP-labelled axons throughout the brain.

The neuronal architecture of the mushroom body provides a logic for associative learning

TL;DR: The elucidation of the complement of neurons of the MB provides a comprehensive anatomical substrate from which one can infer a functional logic of associative olfactory learning and memory.

Targeted gene expression as a means of altering cell fates and generating dominant phenotypes.

TL;DR: The GAL4 system, a system for targeted gene expression that allows the selective activation of any cloned gene in a wide variety of tissue- and cell-specific patterns, has been designed and used to expand the domain of embryonic expression of the homeobox protein even-skipped.

Construction of transgenic Drosophila by using the site-specific integrase from phage phiC31.

TL;DR: The phiC31 integrase injected into embryos as mRNA functioned to promote integration of an attB-containing plasmid into the attP site, resulting in up to 55% of fertile adults producing transgenic offspring.

Refinement of Tools for Targeted Gene Expression in Drosophila

TL;DR: The increased strength and reliability of these optimized reagents overcome many of the previous limitations of these methods and will facilitate genetic manipulations of greater complexity and sophistication in Drosophila melanogaster.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tools for neuroanatomy and neurogenetics in Drosophila

TL;DR: The results suggest that the D. melanogaster genome contains >50,000 enhancers and that multiple enhancers drive distinct subsets of expression of a gene in each tissue and developmental stage.
