A slow and stable memory unit instructs fast and transient units by activating dopaminergic neurons via an excitatory hub interneuron connecting those units during second-order conditioning in Drosophila.

The Brain Extraction Network (BEN) provides a robust, accurate, and generalizable solution not only for extracting brain tissue from multimodal MRI data in rodents, non-human primates, and humans, but also for improving the accuracy of downstream neuroimaging processing tasks.

Proximity proteomics combined with mouse genetics are used to assess the composition of active zone-like sites for dopamine release and reveal that the scaffolding protein RIM organizes these sites.

Using novel approach to study real-time social interactions shows that mutual action visibility facilitates static and dynamic coordination in both species, but whereas humans employ dynamic turn-taking to equalize rewards, macaques, after training with a human, compete between themselves.

The present fluorescence polarization microscopy method enables the determination of the spatial orientations and lifetimes of a transporter protein in individual conformational states required for understanding the complex conformational mechanism underlying its function, applicable to investigation of other membrane proteins.

Interrogating mouse locus coeruleus via large-scale multipatch whole-cell recordings uncovers its cellular heterogeneity and cell-type-specific wiring logic.

In mature neurons, TSPAN5 assembles into a complex with AP4 and Stargazin to promote the exocytosis of AMPA receptors.

Complex, multi-scale natural behaviors may arise from subpopulations of neurons in cerebral cortex operating near the tipping point of a phase transition, that is, near criticality.

Effects of ecdysone on sleep are mediated through lipid metabolism in cortex glia.

Mnemonic mechanisms of differentiation and integration within the medial temporal lobe occur concurrently during the learning of local and global environmental knowledge.
