To study odor-guided navigation of small animals such as worms and fly larvae, a novel flow chamber and odor sensor array are presented that better characterize the odors that the animal experiences.

In cerebellar interneurons, somatodendritic subthreshold synaptic activity travels down the axon and augments AP-dependent GABA release by a modulation of the intermediate states of voltage-dependent Ca⁺⁺ channels in the presynaptic boutons.

A new mechanism involving intermediate gating states of calcium channels explains how analogue postsynaptic potentials influence neurotransmitter release.

Training attention-mindfulness, emotion-motivational, and social cognitive skills over the course of 3 months alters brain functional and microstructural organization as a function of training content.

Neural recordings in monkey IT show that the primate visual system transforms object representations into a reference frame aligned with gravity and independent of how the head and eyes are tilted.

The neuronal glutamate transporter EAAC1 limits excitation and lateral inhibition between D1-MSNs, which are important for the execution of slow-switching flexible behaviors.

A novel analytical framework for investigation of simultaneously occurring brain oscillations (from either single or multiple brain areas) and how it modulates the underlying neuronal population during sleep and wakefulness (or other behavioral tasks).

Ventral premotor mirror neurons discriminate observed actions well but predominantly differently from self-performed actions, requiring reconsideration of concepts addressing their function.

Preventing activity of the kinase tumor progression locus 2 modulates microglial activation, reduces T-cell brain infiltration, and is neuroprotective in disease models.

Measurement precision offers a comprehensive perspective on good scientific practices to improve reproducibility of research results by providing means to optimize design and analysis parameters (e.g. sample size, trial count, or sample heterogeneity) in accordance with the researcher’s goals.
