Neurons within rat somatosensory cortex are selective to texture and are spatially organized according to their texture preference.

Two-photon phosphorescence lifetime microscopy reveals the physiological values of oxygen concentration and blood flow parameters in the brains of awake mice.

A circuit within the nucleus accumbens that exists during a specific developmental window through early adolescence male rats may serve as a substrate that underlies heightened reward seeking in this population.

Drosophila astrocytes regulate the homeostatic response to sleep need and express the AANAT1 enzyme that limits brain accumulation of serotonin and dopamine caused by overnight sleep deprivation.

Neocortical activity is drastically different around awake than sleep hippocampal ripples.

Gradual changes in the firing of specific hypothalamic neurons over many hours signal falling energy levels, while short-lived changes over seconds and minutes signal the availability of food.

Optogenetic and electrophysiological experiments show how a behaviorally relevant 'feedback' pathway from auditory cortex controls neural activity in the inferior colliculus, an auditory midbrain region important for processing complex time-varying sounds such as speech.

Alpha EEG oscillations emerge at 4 months of age during sevoflurane general anesthesia, and unlike in adults, have a widespread spatial distribution that likely reflects differences in brain development.

Social deficits in IRSp53/Baiap2-mutant mice accompany decreases in prefrontal neuronal firing variability, burst firing, and social information decoding accuracy, and memantine-dependent NMDAR inhibition, which rescues social deficits, alleviates burst firing, suggesting that burst firing links NMDAR dysfunction with social deficits.

A characterization of LGN-V1 synaptic transmission properties demonstrates thalamocortical synapses in vivo are weak and unreliable, but biologically constrained models show they efficiently drive cortex.
