Mice with a mutation that disrupts the release of growth hormone show greatly increased lifespan, which can be further increased by caloric restriction.

Neurons within rat somatosensory cortex are selective to texture and are spatially organized according to their texture preference.

fMRI data from macaques suggest that sounds with similar temporal characteristics activate neighbouring regions of auditory cortex, giving rise to a topographic map broadly analogous to that for sound frequencies.

Central thalamus relay neurons dynamically switch the activity of cortical and subcortical networks at distinct frequencies, providing a mechanism for this region's role in arousal regulation.

The human brain encodes coordinated patterns of joint movements – synergies – to increase the efficiency with which it can control complex hand movements.

Brain activity patterns in motor cortex differ when we listen to speech as opposed to produce it.

The combination of intraneural microstimulation and 7T fMRI makes it possible to bridge the gap between first-order mechanoreceptive afferent input codes and their spatial, dynamic and perceptual representations in human cortex.

Understanding others' pain is grounded in cognitive rather than sensory faculties.

A neural gating mechanism in the external cuneate nucleus of the rat brain is engaged during wake movements and disengaged during sleep-related twitches.

The brain continues to represent individual fingers in primary somatosensory cortex decades after the amputation of a hand, indicating that cortical maps do not require ongoing sensory input from the body.
