X-ray imaging reveals well-preserved internal characters in mineralized arthropods from the Paleogene, urging the reexamination of previously neglected fossil collections.

Incomplete interhemispheric fissure remodelling determines corpus callosum size in humans and BTBR N2 mice that carry a deletion in Draxin.

Chick optic fissure closure is a powerful new model system for epithelial fusion and has revealed Netrin-1 as a conserved and essential mediator of tissue fusion in multiple contexts.

The ability of mice to encode new memories or retrieve existing ones can be selectively manipulated by using optogenetics to inhibit hippocampal activity at specific phases of the theta cycle.

The lens-averted domains of the optic vesicle are reservoirs of neuroretinal cells that flow into the developing optic cup in a process that is critically influenced by BMP signaling.

Genetic and imaging analysis reveal that microglial precursors use ocular blood vessels as a pathway to enter the optic cup and subsequently infiltrate the retina preferentially through the neurogenic region.

Signaling at the primary cilium is important to sustain the morphology, connectivity, and survival of a key neural population within the brain.

Human hippocampal connectivity to network afferents varies continuously with the phase of the local theta oscillation, confirming a putative mechanism by which neural oscillations modulate human hippocampal function.

Axon guidance molecules DCC and NTN1 regulate astroglial-mediated interhemispheric remodelling required for corpus callosum formation in humans and mice.

Resting-state MEG-activity and MRS-GABA/Glx measurements reveal that there is a significant shift in excitability during the course of schizophrenia, involving hyperexcitability during the onset and a reduction at chronic stages.
