In mouse models of Rett Syndrome, global loss of the Mecp2 gene induces microglia to engulf excess synapses, while microglia-specific loss or gain of Mecp2 has little impact on disease.

Changes in cortical neural ensembles and heightened coupling between the hippocampus and cortex enable the eventual behavioral integration of memories with overlapping sequential information.

A synthesis of 20+ years of experimental studies on 'splitter cells' in the hippocampus reveals that signature properties of (1) temporal context models and (2) latent state inference are both needed to account for the data.

Enhanced Gq-signaling-mediated activation of forebrain excitatory neurons in postnatal life programs enhanced anxiety-, despair- and schizophrenia-like behavior, recapitulating key aspects of the behavioral consequences of early life adversity.

Memory guides attention by enabling preparation for upcoming states in the hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex.

Inferior parietal and lateral occipitotemporal cortex encode the effects of actions at an abstract level of representation, independently of the body movements that induce them.

Low-profile tetrodes that are compatible with wide-field imaging provide the opportunity to evaluate the relationship between spiking neurons and broad networks.

The recurrent temporal restricted Boltzmann machine applied to whole-brain neuronal recordings from larval zebrafish brains provides substantial advantages in discovering the neuronal assembly structure and their connectivity.

Computational modeling of cognitive and neuroscience data is an insightful and powerful tool, but has many potential pitfalls that can be avoided by following simple guidelines.
