KIS, a kinase upregulated in the developmental brain, phosphorylates the PTBP2 splicing complex and modulates alternative exon usage for proper synaptic spine emergence and maturation.

Sleep-encoded vocabulary influences awake decision-making 36 hr later, particularly when targeting the vocabulary to slow-wave troughs, which suggests that unconscious episodic memory formation during deep sleep is possible.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the extent to which marmosets carry genetically distinct cells from their siblings.

Glutamatergic–cholinergic neurons in the postinspiratory complex are critical for swallow motor patterning and the coordination of swallow and breathing, which is disrupted by chronic intermittent hypoxia, a condition seen in many disorders associated with dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia.

Intense starvation with high internal energy levels results in remarkably stable food-related memories that persist beyond actual food intake and are associated with overeating.

Seemingly disparate working memory biases, including short-term serial and contraction biases, may arise from a common mechanism via the interaction of multiple networks, each operating over a distinct timescale.

Improving our understanding of autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other neurodevelopmental conditions requires collaborations between genetics, psychiatry, the social sciences and other fields of research.

Age and antipsychotic treatment effects on chromatin organization in the frontal cortex of schizophrenia subjects.

A forebrain nucleus contributes specifically to the variability of syllable sequencing in songs of Bengalese finches, a songbird with complex syntactic song structure.

Having compared cross-species cortical folding patterns between humans and macaques, it is shown that 'Gyral Peaks' can stably exist across different species.
