Molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) brain demonstrates that neurons retain a genetic record of their developmental origins, and that sex-specific behavioral circuits arise from a shared developmental template. Rather than building entirely separate circuits, sexual dimorphism in the brain is achieved through selective neuronal survival within shared cell lineages.

A new study by Timothy Sit, Célian Bimbard, Anna Lebedeva, @MatteoCarandini, Philip Coen, and Kenneth Harris challenges the classic cortical column model. Using in vivo recordings, they show that layers 2/3 and 5 in #V1 encode distinct visual features — functionally dissociated, not redundant. A cool look into laminar specialization.
