Genetic analyses suggest that advantageous genotypes can mitigate the negative effects of high body mass index on cognitive functions involving information updating.
Measuring the activity of hundreds of neurons in macaque brains simultaneously provides further evidence that drift-diffusion dynamics underlie how decisions are made in the brain.
Expression pattern analysis of neurotransmitter synthesis, secretion, and reuptake machinery reveals animal-wide usage of neurotransmitters in both sexes of Caenorhabditis elegans.
Studies of heterogeneity in healthy brain aging reveal varying susceptibilities to aging and delayed development, which deepen aging-development understanding and promote prediction and diagnosis of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.

PTEN mutations disrupt inhibitory GABAergic signaling, causing neurodevelopmental defects that can be mitigated by β-hydroxybutyrate, which activates DAF-16/FOXO and may offer a therapeutic approach for excitation/inhibition imbalances.
Computational simulations and data analysis show that random clustering in the connections of neurons receiving minimal external cues can generate place fields and their spontaneous activation in trajectory-like sequences.

Simultaneous recording from many neurons in macaque lateral intraparietal area reveals the elusive drift-diffusion signal, long suspected to underlie individual perceptual decisions and response times.

Comparison between tapping performance of humans during a synchronization task and new metrics that characterize the U-fiber system of white matter revealed large intersubject correlations between phase accuracy at specific tempos and the strength of connectivity in their audiomotor system.
