NMDA receptors mediate prominent supralinear summation of clustered excitatory inputs to the dendrites of neurogliaform and oriens-lacunosum moleculare interneurons of the hippocampus, showing that these cells perform sub-cellular computations.

A new collection of driver lines enables experimental manipulation of over 300 cell types centered around the mushroom body in Drosophila.

In feedforward networks with random connectivity, connection motifs underlying the detection of short clusters and activity sequences are likely to converge on a subset of postsynaptic neurons purely by chance.

Mechanosensory isolation of C. elegans nematodes independently induces homeostatic structural changes in the dendritic tree and differential response to mechanical stimulation, both these structural and behavioral outcomes are mediated by degenerins and do not affect presynaptic calcium dynamics.

Confocal and electron microscopy analyses reveal that contextual fear extinction induces structural remodeling of thalamic projections to the CA1 area of the hippocampus.
