Measures of sleep features such as spindles and slow waves differentiate between young people with 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome and healthy controls, and may mediate the relationship between this genotype and psychiatric symptoms.

The early influence of the breakdown of both hippocampal structural network and angular gyrus-seeded default mode metabolism network on memory performance underscore the importance of early intervention in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease.

Mapping neuronal circuits is made substantially faster, simpler and more accurate with this extended toolkit of novel cell lines and vectors.

An analysis of the first complete synaptic resolution connectome of Drosophila's navigation circuit uncovers neural network motifs supporting broadly relevant sensorimotor computations.

The diameter of individual or multiple arterioles can be rapidly controlled with high spatiotemporal resolution using optogenetics, providing a technique for the direct manipulation of blood flow independently of neural activity or pharmacological agents.

A model framework and toolbox to quantify metacognitive biases and sources of metacognitive noise in animal and human confidence data.

In vivo imaging reveals that the synaptic vesicle cycle is a significant contributor to oxidative stress in sensory hair cells, rendering them susceptible to insults.

A neural pathway involved in goal-oriented behaviours becomes dysregulated during binge drinking and alcohol use disorder.

There is a frequency-dependent association between the local field potential and the coordinated activity of populations of single neurons, which remains constant during different aspects of behaviour but changes across regions of primate sensorimotor cortex.

Task controllability manipulations reveal that information seeking is associated with reduced confidence and active hypothesis testing, as well as stronger neurophysiological correlates of attention and arousal.
