Individuals with reversed congenital cataracts perceived visual events as occurring earlier than auditory and tactile events revealing that cross-modal temporal biases depend on sensory experience during an early sensitive period.

Prefrontal PV interneuron activity during development is necessary for prefrontal circuit maturation, supporting adult prefrontal network function and cognitive flexibility.

Mutated NLRP3 forms cryo-sensitive aggregates that induce inflammasome assembly distinct from the canonical NLRP3 inflammasome.

Despite the structural sexual dimorphism in the song control system, both male and female starlings experience similar seasonal neuroplasticity in multisensory systems and cerebellum during the photosensitive phase, which acts as a sensitive window of plasticity.

Motor performance benefits from rewarding contexts via a non-uniform reduction of response latencies and increase in feedback gains across the feedback loops involved in upper limb motor control.

3-10 weeks old adult-born granule cells provide two temporally overlapping but functionally distinct neuronal cell populations by being sensitive to distinct aspects of their inputs.

Meiotic chromosome segregation in mature Drosophila oocytes is sensitive to prolonged quiescence, suggesting that human oocyte instability may result from storage of mature rather than primordial oocytes and be modifiable.

Biperiden, but not amisulpride, delays auditory mismatch responses during environmental stability, suggesting a differential sensitivity of auditory statistical learning to muscarinic versus dopaminergic receptor status which could prove useful for developing tests that predict an individual's response to antipsychotic treatment.

A longer birdsong-learning window evolves in response to sexual selection for song complexity and is associated with faster evolution of song performance characteristics.

Early and late visual deprivation trigger a redeployment mechanism that reallocate part of the processing typically tagging the preserved senses (i.e. the temporal cortex for auditory stimulation) to the occipital cortex deprived of its most salient visual input.
