    Establishment of transgenic fluorescent mice for labeling synapses and screening synaptogenic adhesion molecules

    Lei Yang, Jingtao Zhang ... Chen Zhang
    A Syt1-tdTomato transgenic mice with normal synaptic transmission is established to label synapse in situ and screen synaptogenic adhesion molecules.

    MTL neurons phase-lock to human hippocampal theta

    Daniel R Schonhaut, Aditya M Rao ... Michael J Kahana
    Neural spiking throughout the MTL is synchronous with hippocampal theta phase during spatial memory and navigation experiments in humans, even after controlling for phase-coupling to local theta oscillations.

    Pleiotropic effects of trisomy and pharmacologic modulation on structural, functional, molecular, and genetic systems in a Down syndrome mouse model

    Sergi Llambrich, Birger Tielemans ... Greetje Vande Velde
    Ts65dn mice exhibit structural, functional, molecular, and genetic alterations that are modulated but unrecovered by prenatal chronic GTE-EGCG, highlighting the importance of holistic studies to understand complex disorders and treatments.

    The pelvic organs receive no parasympathetic innervation

    Margaux Sivori, Bowen Dempsey ... Jean-François Brunet
    Of the two divisions proposed long ago to describe the autonomic nervous system, thoraco-lumbar sympathetic and cranio-sacral parasympathetic, the latter finds no support from transcriptionally defined neuron types.

    Multiple objects evoke fluctuating responses in several regions of the visual pathway

    Meredith N Schmehl, Valeria C Caruso ... Jennifer M Groh
    Neural fluctuations in multiple areas along the visual cortical hierarchy could allow the brain to represent distinct co-occurring visual stimuli.
