  eLife Assessment

  This is an overall compelling set of findings on the role of centrally produced estrogens in the control of behaviors in male medaka. The significance of the findings rests on the revealed potential mechanism between brain derived estrogens modulating social behaviors in males , supported by the analysis of multiple transgenic lines. The evidence for the broader claim is incomplete since it has not been extended to female medaka, and further experimentation would be necessary to fully validate the conclusions on the role of brain-derived estrogens. Nonetheless, the findings have led to important hypotheses on the hormonal control of behaviors in teleosts that can be tested further.

  eLife Assessment

  The study presents convincing quantitative evidence, supported by appropriate negative controls, for the presence of low-abundance glycine receptors (GlyRs) within inhibitory synapses in telencephalic regions of the mouse brain. Using sensitive single-molecule localization microscopy of endogenously tagged GlyRs, the authors reveal previously undetected populations of these receptors. Although the functional significance of these low-abundance GlyRs remains to be established, the findings offer valuable insights and methodologies that will be of interest to neuroscientists studying inhibitory synapse biology.

  This important study characterizes with rigorous methodology anatomical and functional aspects of the peripheral innervation of the Drosophila male reproductive tract. The convincing analysis reveals two distinct types of glutamatergic neurons that co-release either serotonin or octopamine. While serotonergic neurons are required for male fertility, octopaminergic neurons are dispensable. The work is providing invaluable insight into neurochemical control of insemination, peripheral motor control and neuromodulation in the male reproductive tract.

  The authors employ an unbiased, affinity-guided reagent to label P2X7 receptor and use super-resolution imaging to monitor P2X7 redistribution in response to inflammatory signaling. The evidence is convincing and the study will be valuable to those studying the dynamics of receptor distribution and clustering.
