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.

Acute stress and anxiety can suppress pain, here we reveal a multi-nodal circuit in the brain that connects the two.

Different glutamate receptors have specialized roles that allow cerebellar unipolar brush cells to transform realistic mossy fiber input patterns into a continuum of temporal responses.

Inner-ear drug delivery experiments show that the fluids in the cochlea circulate due to the peristaltic action of motile auditory receptor cells.
