Pupil size during rest reflects activation of a network of subcortical ascending arousal system nuclei.

Loss of the extracellular matrix protein Perlecan leads to disruption of the neural lamella surrounding nerve bundles in Drosophila, resulting in axonal breakage and synaptic retraction of neuromuscular junctions.

Optogenetics was used to reveal a novel role for the perirhinal cortex in regulating approach-avoidance behaviors under object-based motivational conflict.

Activating deeper layers of the cortex using cortical electrical stimulation triggers the activation of thalamic nuclei through trans-synaptic signaling, which can result in a range of complex responses that can be detected using EEG signals.

Evolution of saltatory conductance is mirrored in fly development where glia-dependent clustering of voltage-gated ion channels precedes myelination.

Task changes, like increased force production or altered posture, decrease the accuracy of brain-machine interfaces predicting intended finger movements, however, understanding how neural activity changes with the altered biomechanics of the task may provide insights for generalizable decoder development.

RNA sequencing and conditional Nova mutants reveal that Nova protein function is necessary for activity-dependent alternative splicing of synaptic genes within somatostatin cortical interneurons and regulates its afferent and efferent connectivity.
