What will happen where and when could be predicted by the sequential reactivation of place cells that occurs while an animal pauses, suggesting that the replay is linked to mental time travel.

By recording simultaneous spike trains from fear-responsive basal amygdala (BA) and place-responsive dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) neurons in rats foraging for food in a risky predatory situation, a novel BA-dHPC circuit coding mechanism for interfacing danger and place information was revealed.

A large variety of spatial representations implied in rodent navigation could arise robustly and rapidly from inputs with a weak spatial structure, by an interaction of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic plasticity.

Dephosphorylation of Notch1 intracellular domain by Eya1 leads to enhanced Notch signalling activity in the non-neuronal epibranchial placodal cells, revealing an essential regulation for the formation of proximal pharyngeal arches during mouse craniofacial development.

A nonspecific cation current mediated by TRPM4 channels is a major contributor to the increase in excitability induced by cholinergic modulation in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, which are thought to play an important role in episodic memory.

Place cells associated with track-running are activated in rats staying in a nearby box while another rat running on the track, suggesting that social observation facilitates spatial memory representations.

A novel mechanism of long-range coordination mediated by beta oscillations across sensory and cognitive netowrks for utilization of odor-cued associations and translating them into decisions.

A combination of morpholino-based knockdowns, pharmacological inhibitors, and rescue assays reveal a novel role for natriuretic peptide signaling in the regulation of cell fates in the embryonic ectoderm.

Analysing a compilation of individual-level data gathered across the seven Ebola Virus Disease outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo reveals factors that contribute to the spread of the disease and mortality.

Computational simulations and data analysis show that random clustering in the connections of neurons receiving minimal external cues can generate place fields and their spontaneous activation in trajectory-like sequences.
