Complex and distributed plasticity processes are revealed by a functional and pharmacological analysis of visual habituation learning in larval zebrafish.

Mitochondrial calcium influx plays distinct roles in presynapse formation, function and stability in sensory hair cells.

Molecular engineering can generate light-sensitive NMDA receptors with specific subunit combinations.

Targeted manipulations on organotypic cultures show that the retina switches between at least four different metabolic pathways, each with different yields and kinetics, to dynamically adapt to momentaneous energy needs.

Feedforward inhibition generates motion anticipation by selectively decreasing sensitivity to a stimulus as it moves across the latter part of a retinal ganglion cell's receptive field.

Neurons of the cholinergic system, which release the excitatory neurotransmitter acetycholine throughout the cortex, also release the inhibitory transmitter GABA, with potential implications for cognitive function.

Increases of extracellular potassium silence capillary pericyte calcium signaling, suggesting a participation of capillary pericytes in the potassium-mediated neurovascular communication.

The convergence of two visual pathways at the level of retinal bipolar cells accounts for key features of ganglion cell responses.

Elimination of GABA_A receptors from the axon terminals of specific retinal bipolar cell types alters the sensitivity and kinetics of retinal output.

A novel BAC transgenic mouse model reveals glial restriction of P2X7 expression in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
