Fruit flies have special neurons in their pharynx with ionotropic receptors to prevent consuming too much salt, which was confirmed using a variety of behavioral and physiological assays.

In response to neuronal activity in vivo, mitochondria in dendrites of excitatory neurons inhibit recruitment of ionotropic glutamate receptors through a reactive oxygen signaling mechanism.
Binocular combination of monocular neuronal responses involves response suppression for neurons more preferring one eye and response enhancement for neurons more preferring both eyes in macaque V1.

Optogenetic manipulation and photometry recordings in the lateral hypothalamus show how interactions between dopamine and orexin systems underlie reward expectation revealing dopaminergic modulation of orexinergic activity via D2 receptors.

Spatial mapping serves as a cognitive scaffold for acquiring abstract conceptual invariances across sensory domains, shedding light on the mechanisms of human learning.

Adaptive delayed feedback control is presented as a new real-time, closed-loop control algorithm for neurostimulation which can disrupt oscillations and reduce network synchrony in neuronal populations.

Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying behaviour shows pronounced variation in natural populations, making it a promising model to investigate the microevolution of a simple neural circuit.

Evidence for a selective sensorimotor brain mechanism responsible for translating sensory numerical information into the number of actions in a sequence.
