Optogenetics was used to reveal a novel role for the perirhinal cortex in regulating approach-avoidance behaviors under object-based motivational conflict.

Activating deeper layers of the cortex using cortical electrical stimulation triggers the activation of thalamic nuclei through trans-synaptic signaling, which can result in a range of complex responses that can be detected using EEG signals.

Evolution of saltatory conductance is mirrored in fly development where glia-dependent clustering of voltage-gated ion channels precedes myelination.

Task changes, like increased force production or altered posture, decrease the accuracy of brain-machine interfaces predicting intended finger movements, however, understanding how neural activity changes with the altered biomechanics of the task may provide insights for generalizable decoder development.

RNA sequencing and conditional Nova mutants reveal that Nova protein function is necessary for activity-dependent alternative splicing of synaptic genes within somatostatin cortical interneurons and regulates its afferent and efferent connectivity.

Teneurin-2, a synaptic organizer, localizes to microtubule-rich inhibitory synapses and recruits microtubules via interaction with end-binding proteins, and this mechanism enables GABA_A receptors exocytosis.

Analyses of longitudinal neuroimaging data highlight the importance of social contact for brain health.

The rubella virus can interfere with fetal brain development by infecting immune cells called microglia during pregnancy.
