A fibrillin-related protein, FBN-1, is a key component of the apical extracellular matrix and prevents epidermal cell deformation by biomechanical forces during morphogenesis of the C. elegans embryo.

Random fluctuations in neuronal firing may enable a single brain region, the medial entorhinal cortex, to perform distinct roles in cognition (by generating gamma waves) and spatial navigation (by producing a grid cell map).

Single-cell splicing of a conserved neuronal kinase is established by a combinatorial code of fate-determining transcription factors and neuronal RNA binding proteins, with different combinations in different neuron types.

The firing rate of MEC neurons conveys information about visual landmarks.

Grid cells lose their hexagonality during hippocampal inactivation, but maintain temporal and spatial synchrony between pairs of cells, implying that hippocampus does not determine phase relations between grid cells.

A synaptic circuit through which 'what' streams of information associated with the lateral entorhinal cortex may influence 'where' streams of information associated with the medial entorhinal cortex prior to their integration in the hippocampus.

Presubicular head-direction circuits are cell-type specific, with long-range projections reaching the 'grid-cell area' medial entorhinal cortex.

By employing high-field fMRI and taking advantage of well-known global connectivity fingerprints and sensitivity to spatial and non-spatial information, it is shown that the entorhinal cortex is primarily divided into anterior and posterior subregions.

A conceptual framework and physical model shows how actin-spectrin networks and microtubule bundles can protect axons from mechanical stress.

A theory of coordinated neural network dynamics in multiple brain areas offers an explanation for several recent experimental findings in the hippocampus and medial entorhinal cortex.
