Heterogeneity in the Pitx2ON Population in the Mouse Superior Colliculus
… heterogeneous population. Complementary viral tracing experiments map the connectivity of Pitx2ON neurons. Retrograde tracing from individual downstream targets reveals spatial biases, suggestive of connective heterogeneity within the population. Examination of multiple connectivity …

The development, cytoarchitecture, and circuitry of the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus
… adjacent sublaminae. Using trans‐synaptic viral tracing and ex vivo electrophysiology, we found that cells in each these sublaminae receive direct inputs from retina. Lastly, by genetically removing visual input, we found that the organization of these sublaminae is dramatically disrupted, …

Exploring INSL5 and RXFP4 in the gut-brain axis and their potential role in feeding behaviour
… of hypothalamic Rxfp4-expressing neurons using viral tracing tools indicated that these neurons are part of feeding-, reward- and memory-related neurocircuits. Modulation of Rxfp4-expressing neurons within the VMH using intraparenchymal INSL5 infusions and chemogenetic tools increased and …

Brain functional connectivity and its aberrations in mouse models of autism
… a core “autism trait” in mice. Notably, viral tracing revealed reduced frequency of prefrontal-projecting neural clusters in the cingulate cortex of Cntnap2−/− mutants, suggesting a possible contribution of defective mesoscale axonal wiring to the observed functional impairments. …

A midbrain mechanism for computing escape decisions in the mouse
… circuit mapping and monosynaptic viral tracing, we reveal that over half of dPAG-VGluT2 neurons receive monosynaptic connections from mSC-VGluT2 neurons with a low probability of release, allowing this synapse to act as a high-pass filter and providing a mechanism for the …

Genetic dissection of circuits underlying the modular structure of the Superior Colliculus
In order to successfully interact with the environment, animals need to produce accurate movements towards specific positions in space. A crucial region of the brain that guides such goal-oriented movements is the superior colliculus (SC), an evolutionary conserved structure of the midbrain. While …

Specific connectivity and molecular diversity of mouse rubrospinal neurons
… motor neurons was not clear. Earlier anatomical tracing studies in the rat indicated that there are close appositions between labeled rubrospinal axons and motor neurons projecting to intermediate and distal forelimb muscles. To confirm that these contacts correspond to synapses, I developed a …
