Hippocampal pyramidal neurons exhibit diverse spike patterns and gene expression profiles. However, their relationships with single neurons are not fully understood. In this study, we designed an electrophysiology-based experimental procedure to i...
In the central nervous system, astrocytes enable appropriate synapse function through glutamate clearance from the synaptic cleft; however, it remains unclear how astrocytic glutamate transporters function at peri-synaptic contact. Here, we report...

The development of individuality during learned behavior is a common trait observed across animal species; however, the underlying biological mechanisms remain understood. Similar to human speech, songbirds develop individually unique songs with s...

Combining genome assembly with population and functional genomics can provide valuable insights to development and evolution, as well as tools for species management. Here, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of the common brushtail poss...

Because speciation might have been promoted by ancient introgression from an extinct lineage, it is important to detect the existence of 'ghost introgression' in focal taxa and examine its contribution to their diversification. In this study, we e...
