A social memory pathway connecting the ventral hippocampus, the lateral septum and the ventral tegmental area helps to regulate how mice react to unknown individuals.
LRRK plays an essential, cell-intrinsic role in the protection of dopaminergic neurons during aging, and new genetic findings suggest that LRRK2 mutations may impair its function, leading to dopaminergic neurodegeneration in PD.
A novel bilinear modeling approach reveals genetic code of neuronal connectivity, offering insights for targeted genetic interventions in neural circuits.
Intentional eye movements depend on where peripheral attention is voluntarily deployed beforehand, but they can be directed elsewhere shortly afterwards.
