A new form of brain plasticity extends the known limits for how much early sensory input can alter the brain.

Electrophysiology identifies a population of fan-shaped body neurons that encode airflow in two directions relative to the fly midline and whose silencing disrupts proper orientation to airflow.

Functional MRI measurements of orientation reflect coarse-scale biases that are wholly determined by second-order interactions between the stimulus aperture and the underlying orientation.

Modulation of division plane rotation in proliferating chondrocytes determines the ratio of clusters and columns, which may support the multifunctional design of the growth plate.

Three theoretical principles explain the neural activity observed in the head direction circuit of insects, the connectivity pattern underlying the circuit, and how the ubiquitous eight-column circuit structure emerged from evolutionary processes.

The ongoing debate on the neural basis of orientation selectivity in the primary visual cortex continues.

Simultaneous sampling of electrical voltages outside the brain with neural signals in the cerebral cortex reveals how electrical currents in mosaics of cortical columns produce an electrical signal that can be measured noninvasively to assess the allocation of attention.

Through the interaction between PCP signaling and N-cadherin, oriented cell division and cell rearrangement are coordinated to establish the appropriate tissue architecture critical for limb skeletal morphogenesis.

Circuit tracing and in vivo calcium imaging reveals neurons conveying polarized light information from photoreceptors to the central brain, transforming patterns in the sky into a directional cue for navigation.

High-resolution imaging shows that the different columns of the human periaqueductal gray play differential roles in the response to a respiratory threat.
