Neurodevelopmental critical periods act to integrate activity to encode homeostatic set points that remain fixed thereafter.

Chandelier cells in primary visual cortex show experience-dependent plasticity, respond strongly to behaviorally relevant stimuli and only weakly inhibit pyramidal cells.

Loss of functional dystroglycan disrupts the formation and function of CCK⁺/CB₁R⁺ inhibitory synapses in hippocampal CA1, resulting in reduced seizure thresholds in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy.

Participants under acute stress were less willing to exert a relatively low level of physical effort for actions that benefit another person compared to actions that benefit themselves.

Counting the number of synaptic vesicles released in simple synapses under high release probability conditions revealed a maximum readily releasable pool size of two vesicles per docking site.

A new device improves the way scientists can record the activity of motor units in a wide range of animals and settings.

Apical and basal dendrites contribute differently to single-neuron orientation selectivity, highlighting the impact of feedforward and feedback signal interactions.
