Demonstrating extreme diversity across crustaceans while contrasting with evolutionary stability in insects, mushroom body homologues further underpin the unity of Pancrustacea and shed new light on arthropod brain evolution.

Firing rate nonlinearity recovers linear decodability of orientation information from simple cells of the primary visual cortex under uncertainty of nuisance parameters phase and spatial frequency.

A spike sorting toolbox to quickly and reliably access the activity of thousands of neurons recorded with dense extracellular probes.

In vivo calcium imaging reveals how odor identity is encoded in the activity of large, distributed ensembles of olfactory cortex neurons in mice.

The priming protein ubMunc13-2 and Synaptotagmin-7 cooperate with phorbolesters/diacylglycerol to stimulate vesicle priming in adrenal chromaffin cells, whereas phorbolesters/diacylglycerol interacting with Munc13-1 inhibit vesicle fusion, which identifies opposing functions of these two Munc13 proteins.

Neural sensory representations impose an inductive bias over the space of learning tasks, allowing some tasks to be learned by a downstream neuron more sample-efficiently than others.

Systematic analysis of descending neuron anatomy reveals the basic functional map of descending sensory-motor pathways in flies and provides genetic tools for targeted interrogation of neural circuits.
