Single-unit recordings from cortical neurons in behaving macaque monkeys expose differential aspects of multisensory plasticity across different multisensory areas during visual–vestibular recalibration.

The behavioral ability of mice and treeshrews to detect visual figures is highly texture dependent, unlike that of primates including macaques and mouse lemurs, and neural responses to figures in mouse visual cortex are similarly texture dependent.

Topographic maps can gradually increase the fidelity of sensory representations and improve signal-to-noise ratio across multiple cortical circuits, a generic architectural feature that depends solely on the modularity of topographic projections and recurrent inhibition.

In the central amygdala, transcriptomic definition of cell types and corresponding spatial transcriptomic analysis reveals major regional differences in molecular organization and relates newly identified molecularly defined cell types to major axon projection targets.

Electrophysiological analyses reveal interactions between gasotransmitter enzymes and their respective products that regulate hypoglossal motoneuron excitability and may drive changes in upper airway tone in obstructive sleep apnea and perturb behaviors such as vocalization and swallowing.

Simultaneous stimulation and recording in awake-behaving pigeons showed that mid-infrared stimulation, as a promising neuromodulation approach, could facilitate or suppress neuronal firing activity depending on its ongoing sensory responsiveness levels, and cause reversible and gain modulation on sensorimotor behavior.

Sweet and umami taste receptors are capable of sensing chloride ions, a component of table salt other than the salty taste-inducing component, sodium ions, and induce preferable taste sensations such as sweet taste.

The transmission of signals from the brain to the tongue to control breathing depends, in part, on the balance between two gaseous molecules.

A new type of biologically constrained spiking neural network model applied to the dorsal raphe nucleus shows that the output of the serotonin system reflects not just its raw input, but mainly how quickly its input changes over time.

Integrated analysis of transcriptional profiles from mice carrying distinct Mecp2 mutant alleles revealed that MeCP2 regulates Gdf11 expression in the brain, and that Gdf11 is a dosage-sensitive gene whose levels impact neuronal function and animal behavior.
