An anion-selective ligand gated channel acts as a presynaptic auto-receptor to modulate vesicle release and neuronal excitation.

Simultaneous recordings in brainstem and cortex, combined with pupillometry, show that changes in coordinated activity in anterior cingulate cortex are related to distinct patterns of pupil-linked activation of the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system.

NALCN and TRPC6 drive the subthreshold depolarization of VTA DA neurons and down regulation of TRPC6 contributes to reduced VTA DA neuron firing and chronic stress-induced depression-like behavior of mice.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex displays robust tracking during strategy execution of a summary statistic for that strategy in recent behavioral history, suggesting a role for this brain region in estimating which actions promote the occurrence of events in the environment.

Forniceal deep brain stimulation is a promising treatment for several neuropsychiatric disorders as it upregulates synaptic and neurogenesis-associated genes, normalizes genes misregulated in Rett syndrome mice, and regulates genes altered in intellectual disability and major depression.

A fast spiking interneuron sub-type in medial and lateral prefrontal cortex fires and gamma-synchronizes prominently during adaptive learning of reward values when outcomes are uncertain and choice options have similar values.

Determining that microbiota-deficient mice have increased visceral pain, which can be reversed by restoring microbiota, may lead to novel microbial-based strategies for disorders associated with visceral pain.

Nucleosomes at enhancers are unusually dynamic and change histone turnover rates during differentiation.

Identification of putative mechanisms for mechanosensation-dependent prey capture in carnivorous plants.

Examining gene expression in the Fulani, an ethnic group relatively protected from malaria, identifies a more transcriptionally reactive response in cells of the innate immune system.
