Teneurin-2, a synaptic organizer, localizes to microtubule-rich inhibitory synapses and recruits microtubules via interaction with end-binding proteins, and this mechanism enables GABA_A receptors exocytosis.

Analyses of longitudinal neuroimaging data highlight the importance of social contact for brain health.

The rubella virus can interfere with fetal brain development by infecting immune cells called microglia during pregnancy.

Drosophila experience two hunger states, one driven by need and the other by pleasure, which arise from unique neural substrates.

A model of early postnatal bacterial meningitis in the mouse demonstrates the transcriptome responses of each of the major meningeal cell types and should prove useful in dissecting the pathophysiology of bacterial meningitis in human infants.

The postinspiratory complex acts as an interface between the swallow pattern generator and the preBötzinger complex to coordinate swallow and breathing.

Motor signs of Parkinson’s disease such as tremor and bradykinesia are independently expressed and exhibit distinct signatures of neural activity that can independently decoded from subthalamic and cortical recordings using interpretable machine learning.

Belly roll, Bero, an Ly6/α-neurotoxin family protein, is identified as a critical modulator of peptidergic interneurons in Drosophila melanogaster, shedding light on genetic regulations of nociceptive escape behaviors and providing a potential target for future studies on pain perception.

Descending inhibition of nociception from the brain has been identified in Drosophila larvae, for the first time in non-mammalian organisms.

In awake behaving rats, cholinergic interneurons in the nucleus accumbens drive dopamine release via nicotinic receptors, boosting motivation to work.
