New methods for statistical inference in representational similarity analysis were developed, tested thoroughly, and are made available in an open-source Python toolbox.

The release of the neurotransmitter glutamate by the parasitic tapeworm Taenia solium appears to be implicated in the pathophysiology of a widespread, but neglected, form of adult-onset epilepsy.

Reconstruction of axonal morphologies based on extracellular action potentials enables label-free electrical visualization of axonal conduction trajectories, providing a noninvasive method for functional profiling of cortical and spinal axons.

Shared traits in gaze patterns and brain activations between marmosets and humans during Theory of Mind animations reveal cross-species cognitive similarities.

Genetic analyses reveal that neuroanatomical areas that are developmentally related co-evolve with one another.

Volume electron-microscopic reconstructions of auditory brainstem neurons and their afferent synapses were used to develop a pipeline creating biophysically defined computational models with heterogenous inputs, revealing roles for subthreshold synapses to enhance temporal processing unique features of their dendrites.

Functional assays using zebrafish reveal that various microbial channelrhodopsins, guanylyl cyclase rhodopsin, and photoactivated adenylyl cyclases function as potent optogenetic tools, effectively controlling neural activity and cardiac function in zebrafish.

A computational model of glutamatergic synapse uncovers a new plasticity rule which takes into account the various experimental conditions.

Animal G-protein-coupled bistable rhodopsins can regulate Gq- and Gi-mediated signaling in a light-dependent manner in neurons and cardiomyocytes, making them useful for analyzing the roles of GPCR signaling in vivo.

From middle childhood to early adulthood, the preference to engage with novel choice options remained consistent, but aversion to reward uncertainty increased.
