The topography of corticopontine projections is controlled by postmitotic expression of the area-mapping gene Nr2f1

Chiara Tocco et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the expression of Nr2f1 gene in the cortical region directly affects the topographic mapping from the cortex to the pontine nuclei. Using transgenic mice and various techniques, the researchers identified that Nr2f1 expression in postmitotic neurons is crucial for controlling somatosensory topographic projections, while its expression in progenitor cells influences the ratio of different fiber types.

Mesoscale microscopy and image analysis tools for understanding the brain

Adam L. Tyson et al.

Summary: In the past decade, advances in whole-brain microscopy have made it possible to obtain high-resolution images of intact brains of small animals, such as mice. These complex images contain a wealth of information, but many neuroscience laboratories lack the computational knowledge and tools necessary to process this data. To address this, we review recent open source tools and propose a pathway for tool developers to collaborate and meet this challenge.

A method to estimate the cellular composition of the mouse brain from heterogeneous datasets

Dimitri Rodarie et al.

Summary: A computational method was developed to estimate the densities of different inhibitory neuron types across the mouse brain. The study provides insights into the distribution of these cell types and encourages convergence on the numbers of each cell type in each brain region within the research community.

Densities and numbers of calbindin and parvalbumin positive neurons across the rat and mouse brain

Ingvild E. Bjerke et al.

Summary: Calcium-binding proteins parvalbumin and calbindin are expressed in neuronal populations regulating brain networks involved in spatial navigation, memory processes, and social interactions. Through semi-automated image analysis, it was found that these neurons distribute in complementary patterns across the mouse brain, with parvalbumin neurons dominating in sensorimotor processing and navigation areas, and calbindin neurons prevailing in behavioral state regions. Additionally, the distribution of parvalbumin neurons in the hippocampal region of the rat and mouse brain follows similar principles.

Constructing and optimizing 3D atlases from 2D data with application to the developing mouse brain

David M. Young et al.

Summary: The article discusses a computational approach for 3D atlas construction that reduces artifacts by identifying anatomical boundaries in imaging data. The method was applied to the Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas, resulting in more comprehensive and accurate atlases. Performance validation on 15 whole mouse brains showed qualitative and quantitative improvement.
