Rats are slower to initiate actions when these actions may need to be cancelled, and this slowing is associated with increased and more variable neural firing in the substantia nigra pars reticulata.

Extensive field studies in poison frogs reveal that sex and species differences in parental behavior drive differences in space use patterns but not navigational performance and highlight the interplay between androgen levels and poison frog spatial behavior.

Mandrill mothers know best because they use their offspring’s facial resemblance with other infants to guide their social opportunities towards similar-looking ones as an adaptive maternal behavior.

Jaw joint regulatory sequence 1 (JRS1) is deeply conserved in most jawed vertebrates and displays a specific enhancer activity in the developing primary jaw joint that contributes to early nkx3.2 gene expression and jaw joint morphology.

Electrical synapses determine the precise position of chemical synapses in the nervous system.

Maladaptive changes of pro-nociceptive neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala drive the chronification of muscle pain and comorbid affective behaviors.

Large-scale, allele-resolved mapping of cis-regulatory function in F₁-hybrid mice reveals sequence determinants that control transcription factor binding and enhancer activity in native chromatin context.

Biochemical and genetic approaches revealed a posttranslational mechanism controlling the abundance of SUN2, a critical nuclear envelope protein.

Human brains evolved to have neural dynamics that facilitate brain-wide integration supporting complex behavior.

A proof-of-principle is provided for the use of high-density neurophysiological recordings in assessing local circuit interactions within the macaque brain.
