     This valuable study is focused on the requirement of the photoreceptor-specific tetraspanins, ROM1 and PRPH2, for the formation of light-sensitive membrane discs. The evidence supporting the claim that deficiency in one of the proteins can be compensated by the other is convincing, with both established and advanced techniques yielding results that will be of interest to those studying photoreceptor development and membrane curvature.

     This interesting and important manuscript combines in vitro and in vivo experiments to investigate the reciprocal regulation between mitochondria-associated membranes and Notch signaling in skeletal muscle atrophy, with implications beyond the single subfield of muscle atrophy. The methods, data, and analyses are solid and broadly support the claims.

     This study provides valuable findings on a causative relationship between LRRC23 mutations and male infertility due to asthenozoospermia. The evidence supporting the conclusions is solid. This work will be of interest to biomedical researchers who work on sperm biology and non-hormonal male contraceptive development.

6. The songbird lateral habenula projects to dopaminergic midbrain and is important for normal vocal development

     The authors provide the first investigation of the role of the lateral habenula in vocal learning in the songbird. This study provides important insights into the conserved connectivity of the lateral habenula with dopaminergic reinforcement circuits and presents a potential role of this circuit in zebra finch song learning. The results stem from a careful anatomical and functional mapping and from a rigorous behavior analysis that, together, implicate a previously undescribed analog between mammals and songbirds. Although many aspects of the manuscript - like the analysis of song behavior - are exceptional, the evidence linking behavior to selective lesions of the lateral habenula is, at this point, incomplete, leaving the interpretation of key results difficult.
