Modulation of the energy barrier for membrane fusion is a common mechanism by which sensors in the synapse produce supralinear calcium dependence of vesicle release and short-term synaptic potentiation.

The biophysical diversity that is intrinsic to spiral ganglion neurons emerges as spatial gradients during early post-natal development and endures through subsequent maturation to likely contribute to sound intensity coding.

Building on previous work (Huang et al., 2013), it is shown that single granule cells receive excitatory synaptic input driven by up to three separate sensory modalities in vivo, which demonstrate that individual neurons can contribute to multisensory integration at the input layer of the cerebellar cortex.

Independent osmotic, genetic and biochemical perturbations modulate neurotransmitter release in a multiplicative manner.

Abundant self-inhibitory synapses in the layer 2/3 of human neocortex strongly regulate the function of basket cells.

Recordings of cellular and network activities of the mouse brain provide insights into how gamma rhythms contribute to memory formation.

The metabolic rate of mice is disproportionately affected by the site of experimentation, affecting the phenotypic interpretation of genetically modified strains.

Subterranean fossil bone hosts a living microbiome different from the surrounding sediment without evidence of original protein preservation.

An in vivo disulfide crosslinking assay shows preferential disassembly of nucleosomes with two H2A.Z histones by transcription machinery in yeast and conjugation to one or two ubiquitin moieties in human cells.
