The X-linked loci Firre and Dxz4 are involved in autosomal gene regulation rather than XCI biology.

Nonstop mRNA decay degrades mRNAs with a premature stop codon after such mRNAs are targeted by the nonsense-mediated decay machinery.

Electrophysiological and computational approaches show that superficial and deep cerebellar granule cells preferentially fire during low- and high-frequency inputs, respectively, enabling a Fourier-like transformation in the granule cell layer.

Orbitofrontal cortex neurons fire in response to cues with no value independent of what can be inferred through features of the predicted outcome.

As rats learn to traverse back and forth on a track, visual cortical neurons fire at specific locations and functionally interact with those hippocampal place cells representing the same locations.

Motor neurons controlling the leg of the fruit fly exhibit a gradient of physiological and functional properties that correlate with the order in which they fire during behavior.

Neurons in the hippocampus modulate the rates at which they fire, and the locations in which they fire, so as to encode the information that is central to forming memories about personal experiences.

A subgroup of the neurons that control muscles becomes less excitable shortly before the symptoms of ALS develop.
