    Neural coding of multiple motion speeds in visual cortical area MT

    Xin Huang, Bikalpa Ghimire ... Steven Wiesner
    Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.

    Opioid Use Disorder: Identifying new targets in the fight against opioids

    Fernanda Laezza
    Experiments reveal that a time-dependent epistatic interaction influences how mice respond to opioids, and that intracellular fibroblast growth factors also influence opioid sensitivity.
