The structural characteristics of a circuit and its hierarchical dimensions are shown to influence regional time-series dynamics after targeted cellular-level manipulations.

Impairing TDP-43 RNA-binding capacity through a single acetylation-mimic mutation alters TDP-43 function and recapitulates biochemical, molecular, and behavioral features of sporadic TDP-43 proteinopathies, thus providing opportunities for new research into pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

Improvement in levels of anxious-depression corresponds with increased confidence in performance among individuals receiving mental health treatment within a large longitudinal dataset.

Genetic variation in a biogenic amines receptor underlies a means of gain control for nonassociative learning and hence an important form of attention that is the basis for tradeoffs in foraging in a social collective.

Closed-loop pairing of taste stimuli with optogenetic activation of neurons encoding either reward or punishment reveals that flies can form both appetitive and aversive taste memories that impact their future behavioral responses to tastes.

Exposure to high-sugar diet in Drosophila resulted in the suppression of sweet sensitivity and feeding behavior in the offspring via altered epigenetic modifications on the histone, highlighting sustained impact of ancestral experience on the physiology and health of offspring.

Many channelrhodopsins acidify cells, but two new ones do not.

Inhibitory innervation in the dorsolateral geniculate nucleus is crucial for adult thalamic and cortical ocular dominance plasticity, highlighting potential thalamic involvement in conditions like amblyopia and learning disabilities.

Learning in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was achieved by fundamentally different cognitive and neural mechanisms from typically developing children, and insistence on sameness, a core symptom of ASD, contributed to such atypical mechanisms of learning in affected children.
