Chronic alcohol exposure results in a long-lasting, enhanced endocannabinoid signalling at orbitostriatal synapses that is expressed in a projection-, synapse-, and behaviorally computation-specific manner.

A mouse with a defined mutation in an extracellular matrix protein that is expressed in selected neurons sheds light on circuit abnormalities producing transient hyperkinetic movements.
The hypo- versus hyperkinetic nature of Parkinson’s disease and dystonia, respectively, may be reflected by differences in disease-specific spiketrain dynamics and striato-pallidal synaptic plasticity.
A citizen science approach to research has shown that the improvements in mood and cognition associated with psychedelic microdosing are likely due to a placebo effect.

While perceptual content is encoded in non-oscillatory activity in the slow cortical potential (<5 Hz) range, perceptual stability is predominantly influenced by the amplitude fluctuations of alpha (~10 Hz) and beta (~20 Hz) brain oscillations.
The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons controlling fertility exhibit abrupt increases in activity to generate luteinizing hormone (LH) pulses and a sustained oscillatory pattern of activity to generate the LH surge.
Precise spatiotemporal optogenetic activation of ERK and AKT signaling pathways reveals neural repair mechanisms of the peripheral and central nervous systems in live Drosophila larvae.
