Multisensory enhancement of Mauthner cell activity reveals how stimulus modality, intensity, and temporal dynamics shape integration at the single-cell level in a neuron essential for fast escape responses.

Molecular genetics identifies a novel microglial pathway essential for mouse brain development and a previously unknown anti-inflammatory activity of monomeric amyloid β that activates this pathway.

Continuous attractor networks can constrain population activity to manifolds with topology radically different from that of the network architecture.

A novel deep-learning-based computational method using object recognition to quantify visual context in naturalistic, multimodal stimuli demonstrates that a concept's perceived abstractness or concreteness dynamically depends on its visual context.

Stress-regulated secretion of an intestinal peptide positively regulates the antioxidant response by promoting neuropeptide release from the nervous system, defining a gut-to-brain-to-gut endocrine axis in the oxidative stress response.

Responses to local and global violations in sound sequences are prediction errors and not simply the consequence of stimulus-specific adaptation.

Damage to the synapses connecting hair cells to the auditory nerve leads to undetected hearing impairments.

Invasively recorded cortical beta oscillations form whole-brain structural and functional networks that are modulated by dopamine.

Multi-dendritic cibarium neurons in the fly pharynx sense mechanical force during swallowing by NOMPC, piezo, and Tmc, besides, these neurons interact with motor neurons to control food swallow.

The visually deprived brain processes sensory letter information in tactile areas but perceptual letter information in sighted reading areas, revealing experience-dependent brain plasticity.
