Complex and distributed plasticity processes are revealed by a functional and pharmacological analysis of visual habituation learning in larval zebrafish.

Bees are at risk of consuming harmful pesticides found in nectar because they cannot detect them using their mouthparts.

Specific learning differences like dyslexia may play an essential role in advancing human knowledge and enriching the academic environment.

A novel DUB-regulated mechanism controls polarized axon growth and guidance.

A series of pre-registered psychophysical studies on self-touch tested two opposing models of somatosensory attenuation (cancelation) and enhancement (sharpening) regarding how action affects perception, and revealed that action prediction produces an attenuation, and not an enhancement, of the predicted touch.

Under typical monosynaptic rabies tracing conditions about 40% of first-order presynaptic synapses to cortical neurons are labeled and spread efficiency does not vary depending on the distance of synapses to the cell body, across dendrite types, or starter neuron types.

Cst7, a gene coding for protein cystatin F, is expressed by microglia in neurodegenerative disease models and mediates sex-dependent effects on microglial endolysosomal function and disease pathology.

Changes in the intracellular trafficking of key signaling molecules in endosomes lead to pathophysiology in a rare disease affecting the cerebellum.

Melanopsin phototransduction targets distinct complements of transduction channels across intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell subtypes and does not require hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels.

The hippocampus demonstrates flexible coding during memory encoding, prioritizing either distance or time information based on the specific requirements of the experiment.
