    Single molecule counting detects low-copy glycine receptors in hippocampal and striatal synapses

    Serena Camuso, Yana Vella ... Christian G Specht
    Synapses in the forebrain were thought of as purely GABAergic, yet they contain minute numbers of glycine receptors, often in the single digits.

    Frictional instabilities as an alternative to friction coefficient in fine touch perception

    Maryanne Derkaloustian, Pushpita Bhattacharyya ... Charles B Dhong
    To study fine touch, selecting samples based on how many mechanical instabilities they can form is more predictive than using the friction coefficient, which has been the default choice.

    Temporal Information: Synaptic footprints of time in working memory

    Dhruv Grover, Marissa L Heintschel
    Temporary changes in synapses may allow working memory to keep track of both events and their timing.

    Mixture discrimination training induces durable and generalizable olfactory learning independent of odorant structure and concentration

    Xiaoyue Chang, Huibang Tan ... Wen Zhou
    Mixture discrimination training induces durable, transferable olfactory learning, highlighting mixture configural odor quality as a distinct attribute supported by different plasticity mechanisms than chirality or concentration and offering a promising leverage point for olfactory rehabilitation.
