Consistent with an existing computational model of hippocampal function, using real-time feedback to drive artificial memories at the trough of the hippocampal theta rhythm improves apparent recall.

Microglia that presumably sense neuronal activity via detection of glutamate at synapses in the hippocampus show higher fine process motility and increased contact rates associated with formation and elimination of dendritic spines under conditions of elevated neuronal activity.
The superior colliculus reveals hallmarks of sophisticated visual computation, including selectivity, invariance, and stimulus-specific habituation to behaviorally relevant stimuli.

Pronounced cerebellar activation during unexpected omission of a potentially harmful event suggests that the cerebellum has to be added to the neural network processing prediction errors underlying emotional associative learning.

Neural recordings from macaque area MT reveal a novel mechanism for detecting moving objects during self-motion, involving neurons with incongruent tuning for depth from motion parallax and binocular disparity cues.

Representations in the subcortical sensory pathway do not only adapt to stimulus properties but also rely on the observer’s subjective model of the world.
Active dendritic processing enables an individual neuron to discriminate the spatial pattern of synaptic inputs, increasing neural and behavioral selectivity for escaping an impending threat.
fMRI and high-density ECoG recordings reveal a hierarchical gradient along the auditory pathway for auditory sequence processing in the marmoset brain.
