Different methods for inducing sleep in Drosophila flies may be promoting distinct sleep stages with different functions when brain activity and gene expression are compared.

Dysmyelination of GABAergic hippocampal interneurons causes mislocalization of axonal ionic channels and disturbs their intrinsic physiological properties, suggesting that it may contribute to cognitive deficits observed in multiple sclerosis patients.

A computational neuroanatomy analysis of cerebellar and cerebral folding in 56 mammalian species reveals groups of highly variable 'diverse' phenotypes, and strongly conserved 'stable' phenotypes, providing new insights into the diversity, evolution, and influence of cortical folding on brain organisation.

Sea anemones use adapted ion channels to control stinging behavior.

Advanced glycation end-products (compounds which make the food appetizing and aromatic) intricately modulate organism’s homeostatic and hedonistic signaling pathways thereby inducing preferential consumption of excess nutrients offering preliminary insights into overconsumption of modern-day processed food.

A molecular pathway involving compounds found in processed foods and biogenic amines increases food intake and aging in the roundworm C. elegans.

Human behaviour in a continuous decision making task adapts to the overall statistics of the sensory environment, and these adaptations are also reflected in changes in neural responses to incoming sensory evidence.

The visual thalamus is a promising target for neural prosthetic intervention aimed at the restoration of visual function.

An antagonism between Spinophilin and Syd-1 converge on presynaptic actin to control presynaptic plasticity and memory consolidation in the Drosophila mushroom body.
