Attentional modulation is affected by target-distractor similarity, indicating tuning sharpening as the underlying mechanism for response enhancement during object-based attention.
Co-release of the functionally opposing fast neurotransmitters, glutamate and GABA, from distinct synaptic vesicles within the same supramammillary synaptic terminal modulates dentate granule cell firing in a frequency-dependent manner.
The important role of structural asymmetry in the functional lateralization of the same brain area provides a crucial insight into the neurobiological fundament for human brain's functional lateralization.

Associative and non-associative learning mechanisms summate to produce robust and complex conditioned behavior profiles, opening new avenues to in-depth investigations of defensive responses and threat evaluation.
In astrocytes, there exists an intrinsic spatial threshold of subcellular calcium levels that triggers an astrocyte calcium surge throughout the cell, demonstrating cellular astrocyte calcium integration of time and space.
Gerbils exhibit stable, family-specific vocal dialects over weeks, suggesting vocal communication may play a key role in representing kinship in natural social groups.
