How the body and brain respond to a gentle stroke dynamically changes depending on how familiar someone is with the other person.

Apparent age-related differences in learning are best accounted for by rapid decay of information in working memory, which is associated with levels of prefrontal glutamate.

A refined analysis of the mechanisms controlling CaM kinase-1 subcellular localization in sensory neurons, a cell-autonomous process known to control nociceptive plasticity and to adjust avoidance behaviors.

Asynchronous release is not uniform, but comprises two subpopulations of events, one occurring inside the active zone and another occurring ectopically, which are characterized by distinctive spatiotemporal dynamics in hippocampal synapses.

A recurrent neural network model with parameters constrained by data explains mechanisms for how tuning properties of motor cortical neurons change during movement preparation and execution in a monkey performing a reaching task, and accurately reproduces neural dynamics from recordings.

Spontaneous remyelination is a common phenomenon in the marmoset experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model, reliably detected using in vivo magnetic resonance imaging, rendering this an indispensable model to further investigate the pathobiology of remyelination in multiple sclerosis.

Mouse models with specific presynaptic knockout demonstrate that Rim1α is subjected to threonine phosphorylation by a novel EPAC-PKCε module, which is essential to presynaptic transmitter release, required for the induction of presynaptic LTP, and critical for motor learning.

A data-driven model of the neural activity of a circuit essential to swimming orientation in zebrafish can be mathematically interpreted to unveil the dynamical mechanism leading to persistence in tail orientation.

Major neuron classes are activated when the fly walks, whether it chooses or is forced to do so.

Intracellular NASPM, unlike the widely used spermine, fully blocks outward currents through calcium-permeable AMPA-type glutamate receptors, enabling an improved functional readout for this physiologically important receptor subtype in neurons.
