A multidisciplinary approach sheds light on the fundamental mechanisms underlying social belief communication under uncertainty.

A new application of transcranial ultrasound safely modulates brain activation in primates for up to 2 hours after 40 seconds of stimulation.

A new ethologically relevant model for investigating the neurobiology of solitary, asocial behavior in the blind mole rat.

Phototaxis and courtship behavioral preferences reflect strong correlation with differences in olfactory and visual nervous system investment across five monophyletic Drosophila species, and could help explain their speciation events.

Natural light gradients within a habitat may have helped form new fly species that have differing preferences for light.

Computational analyses quantitatively account for optical refraction at air-water interfaces to enable visual neuroscientists to present distortion-free stimuli to underwater animals.

An unbiased biochemical screen reveals a direct link between gene regulation and actin cytoskeleton remodeling.

Ultrastructural and loss-of-function experiments show that oligodendrocyte-encoded Kir4.1 is located near active axonal structures, including within myelin inner tongue, and has critical functions to promote axonal activity and preserve integrity.

Transgenic mice with Rett-causing mutations in MeCP2 reveal that a basic cluster in the C-terminus of the protein binds DNA and that both the methyl-CpG binding domain and the transcriptional repression domain are necessary to elicit toxicity in MECP2 duplication syndrome.
