A time-dependent genetic interaction between the µ opioid receptor and genes drives early morphine responses in mice, highlighting pathways linked to human substance use disorder.
Gaze patterns during value-based choice may reflect post-decision processes rather than a direct causal influence of attention on preference formation.
The brain computes rapidly and reliably using brief electrical impulses and likely exploits internal memory in nerve cells to achieve this more efficiently than existing computing hardware and neural networks.

Type I and type II inhibitors differentially affect LRRK2 filament formation around microtubules, revealing an important consideration for Parkinson’s disease drug development.
Flexible evidence accumulation in dynamic environments relies on multiple mechanisms, including context-dependent modulations of sensory adaptation and pupil-linked arousal.
