Anatomical and behavioral characterization of inhibitory neurons in the Drosophila ventral nerve cord shows their critical, diverse roles in limb coordination.
Bidirectional modulation of the activity of the synaptic protein mGluR5 alters spontaneous mouse motor behavior and produces correlated changes in co-activity patterns among direct pathway neurons in the dorsal striatum.
Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C during fever.
Deep behavioral phenotyping reveals that performance readouts from single-valence conditioning are biased by baseline sex differences in exploration, and mixed-valence conditioning provides a clearer assessment of learning in both sexes.
A computational model of the striatal dopamine system predicts transporter expression and organisation as key determinants of regional striatal dopamine dynamics and distinct signal decoding by D1 and D2 receptors.
