In a correction issued today, Nature addressed an error in the original publication of the article "Rewiring an olfactory circuit by altering cell-surface combinatorial code," which appeared online on November 19, 2025. The correction involves Figure 1h, where the bottom three panels in the klg RNAi column were found to be duplicates of images from Figure 1c.

The journal has updated both the HTML and PDF versions of the article with the correct figures. The authors listed in the article are Cheng Lyu, Zhuoran Li, Chuanyun Xu, Jordan Kalai, and Liqun Luo, affiliated with the Department of Biology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Stanford University. Zhuoran Li, Chuanyun Xu and Jordan Kalai are also listed with the Biology Graduate Program, Stanford University. Liqun Luo is the corresponding author.

The error does not appear to affect the overall conclusions of the study, which explores how neural circuits in the olfactory system are wired by altering the cell-surface combinatorial code. The research delves into axon and dendritic guidance, crucial processes in neural development.

The correction highlights the importance of accuracy in scientific publications and the rigorous peer-review process. While such errors are rare, they underscore the commitment of scientific journals like Nature to maintaining the integrity of published research. The original research investigated how manipulating the cell-surface combinatorial code can rewire an olfactory circuit. This has implications for understanding neural development and potentially for developing new strategies to treat neurological disorders.

The updated article is now available on Nature's website. Researchers and readers are encouraged to refer to the corrected version for accurate information.
