In a fast brainstem relay controlling hearing sensitivity, descending synaptic control from midbrain provides the dominant source of excitation, due to a distinct form of synaptic plasticity.

The Kv3.3 potassium channel subunit is necessary and sufficient to permit presynaptic location and accelerated repolarisation of the presynaptic action potential, thereby conserving resources and enhancing accuracy of timing information on transmission at the calyx of Held excitatory synapse.

The transcription factor Meis1 is a dedicated maintenance factor for sympathetic neurons and controls the expression of key genes involved in endosome trafficking.

In vivo analysis of endogenously tagged Ca²⁺ channel subunits reveals unexpected differences in subunit composition and synapse-specific relationships between channel abundance and synaptic strength.

Reliable neuronal physiology can arise from variable and inefficient morphologies.

VIP neurons are a novel class of inferior colliculus stellate neurons that project to long-range auditory and non-auditory targets and integrate inputs from the auditory brainstem and contralateral IC.

The human cerebellum shows fMRI activity for many tasks – however, the inputs from the neocortex are upregulated in a task-dependent manner when cerebellar computation is required.

The important role of serine biosynthesis in Müller cells may explain why the macula is so much more prone to developing disease than the rest of the retina.
