The activity of cerebellar Purkinje cells both represents and participates in organizing the temporal structure of a periodically performed motor action.

When human participants are able to plan responses in a visuo-spatial working memory task, sensory-like representations of remembered spatial position in early visual and parietal cortex adaptively trade off with motor-like representations of upcoming actions in sensorimotor cortex.

Wild-type human recombinant tau protein infused in presynaptic terminals newly assembled microtubules, which sequestered cytosolic dynamins, thereby blocking synaptic vesicle endocytosis and causing activity-dependent rundown of excitatory synaptic transmission in a slice model of mouse brainstem.

In postnatal retina, neuronal apoptosis promotes a spectrum of microglial transcriptional states with varied dependence on CSF1R; TAM receptor Mer and complement receptor 3 mediate phagocytosis of dying neurons while altered CSF1R dependence requires Axl.

A-type fibroblast growth factor homologous factors generate resurgent currents in tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channels, increase repetitive firing of sensory neurons, and provide a potentially important target for pain treatment strategies.

Local deep hypothermia combined with hibernation-mimicking cold protection is neuroprotective in a translatable large animal model of traumatic optic neuropathy.

Genetic, behavioral, and biochemical evidence reveals that the Drosophila TRPγ channel is required in neuroendocrine cells for the starvation-induced switch in preference to less palatable but more nutritive food.

Rai14-Tara complex enhances the stability of dendritic spines and synaptic connections relevant to depressive-like behaviors.

When a common error drives parallel implicit and explicit learning systems, increases in the explicit response will suppress implicit adaptation.

In developing neural cell cultures, information flows lock-in early and nodes undertake specialised computational roles.
