Exposure to high-sugar diet in Drosophila resulted in the suppression of sweet sensitivity and feeding behavior in the offspring via altered epigenetic modifications on the histone, highlighting sustained impact of ancestral experience on the physiology and health of offspring.

Many channelrhodopsins acidify cells, but two new ones do not.

Inhibitory innervation in the dorsolateral geniculate nucleus is crucial for adult thalamic and cortical ocular dominance plasticity, highlighting potential thalamic involvement in conditions like amblyopia and learning disabilities.

Learning in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was achieved by fundamentally different cognitive and neural mechanisms from typically developing children, and insistence on sameness, a core symptom of ASD, contributed to such atypical mechanisms of learning in affected children.

A spiking neural network model explains how hippocampal theta sequences in two-dimensional arenas can arise from a combination of sensory-motor inputs, short-term synaptic plasticity, and intrinsic connectivity.

In order to adjust for expected difficulty level while detecting unpredictably timed target within continuous streams of noisy information, people regulate the transfer of the sensory inputs to the accumulation process.

Mutational analysis in cell-based models of C9ORF72 ALS/FTD identifies canonical translation initiation codons (AUG) on the antisense CCCCGG transcript as initiation sites for synthesis of neurotoxic dipeptide repeat proteins.

A novel Caenorhabditis elegans model that secretes human amyloid beta forms aggregates in the extracellular matrix, which are removed by activation of extracellular matrix dynamics.

Classical theoretical approaches to studying the cerebellar cortex are generalized to a broader set of learning tasks, revealing that the optimal value for the sparsity of granule cell activity is task-dependent.

A novel integrative biological and psychological mechanistic explanation links cognitive processes and neurotransmitters across human development and establishes their involvement in intelligent behavior.
