Alpha-synuclein binding to the synapsin E-domain is essential and sufficient for their cooperation in attenuating synaptic-vesicle trafficking and neurotransmission.

Empirical experiments and computational modeling reveal a stochastic world model on gravity for stability inference that represents gravity’s vertical direction as a Gaussian distribution.

Internal neural variability can induce drift of memory ensembles through synaptic plasticity, allowing for encoding of temporal information.

The NMDA receptor might preferentially mediate immediate experience/impact of events with negative over positive valence.

Psychophysical measurement and computational modeling show that sensory information cannot contribute directly to a cognitive judgment, but must first be integrated into resource-limited working memory.

CCK released from the neural projections from the rhinal cortex to the motor cortex modulates neural plasticity and facilitates motor skill learning.

Purine recycling deficiency triggers metabolic and neurological defects reminiscent of Lesch–Nyhan disease in Drosophila, paving the way for studying this disorder and carrying out drug screening in an invertebrate organism.

Our ability to recall details from a remembered image depends on a single mechanism that is engaged from the very moment the image disappears from view.

Continuous noisy learning in neural networks leads to slow, directed qualitative changes in their internal representations, without affecting their quality.
