Experiments and modeling suggest that a mechanism involving positive and negative feedback can explain the relationship between the neural activity of socially interacting bats.

Psychophysical measurements using time pressure indicate that when attention is willfully deployed, a congruent scaccade is automatically planned, but the coupling is weak and can be rapidly broken.

A new model for phase precession accounts for theta sequence generation, suggests critical roles for interneurons, and predicts circuit properties to optimise memory storage.

Optogenetic activation of Rho GTPases provides spatiotemporal control over endothelial cell shape and enables control over endothelial barrier function by manipulating the cell-cell overlap with blue light.

Non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the greater occipital nerve using direct current promotes strengthening of memories using late-phase synaptic activity.

An unbiased modelling approach shows that only a few blood transcriptome samples are required to accurately assess the human circadian melatonin phase, even during altered sleep schedules.

Neural recordings from macaque area MT reveal a novel mechanism for detecting moving objects during self-motion, involving neurons with incongruent tuning for depth from motion parallax and binocular disparity cues.

The more semantically related a later experience is to an earlier one (along multiple dimensions), the more likely humans are to think back to and strengthen the memory of the earlier experience and mentally link the two experiences.
The combination of molecular imaging, genetic and pharmacological approaches revealed that BCR signaling and PKCβ-dependent activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is required for B cell mechanosensing.
