Slow and fast movements are controlled by distinct sets of spinal V2a neurons with matching properties and connections.

Photopharmacological manipulations of mGlu5 receptors with light-sensitive negative allosteric modulators show brain region-specific roles in pain modulation and suggest that blockade of mGlu5 receptors in the amygdala may limit the overall analgesic activity of mGlu5 receptor antagonists.

Engagement in auditory detection task leads to selective enhancement of task relevant information by neural populations in higher order auditory cortex.

Transient platelet accumulation supports oligodendrocyte progenitor cell differentiation during myelin repair, while sustained exposure to elevated platelet numbers hampers the generation of remyelinating cells.

Anatomical study reveals a new perspective on the definition of an electrical synapse where, in addition to the communicating role of gap junctions, additional cellular structures might be involved in the support and regulation of these intercellular channels.

Formation of dorsal axonal tracts in the spinal cord depends on multiple guidance mechanisms that control growth direction of bifurcating axons in the dorsal root entry zone.

Glutamate receptor-containing vesicles are positioned in the dendritic shaft near sites of synaptic activity by F-actin.
