Scenario-invariant representation of physical stability is found in the frontoparietal regions but not the ventral visual pathway (and ImageNet-trained convolutional neural networks), consistent with the hypothesis that computations underlying physical stability may entail forward simulations of what will happen next.

A novel mechanism describes how tonic activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors can modulate the timing of striatal output by priming feedforward inhibition.

The sense of smell of female hawkmoths has evolved to find the intense odor of floral nectar sources as well as inconspicuous scents of oviposition sites within a complex olfactory landscape.

Two-photon functional imaging linked to olfactory preference in Drosophila provides the first understanding of how odors are integrated, transformed, and represented in the lateral horn by an ensemble of higher-order glutamatergic lateral horn neurons.

Advanced machine learning based brain signal decoding of grip-force as a proxy for movement vigor shows Parkinson's disease related performance reduction, suggestive of a loss of cortical vigor encoding in the absence of dopamine.

Together, our multi-tissue single-cell data shows that CD56^bright NK cells accumulate in the periventricular brain regions of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, bringing NK cells back to the spotlight of MS pathology.

Via the capacitance clamp, electrophysiologists can for the first time flexibly set an artificial membrane capacitance for neurons and other excitable cells and thereby adjust their membrane time constant independent of any conductance changes.

The spatial and temporal patterns of eye movements exhibited by humans in virtual reality reveal how they plan paths when navigating in complex, naturalistic environments.

In paediatric concussions, there are a multiplicity of ways that brain damage gives rise to symptoms, most of which are missed by conventional statistical approaches and study designs.

Six- to twelve-month old infants, who have little linguistic or object experience, classify objects by relying on a invariant representation of global shape known as the shape skeleton.
