Invasive recordings from human dorsal posterior cingulate cortex show neural population responses occur for only executive tasks, while single neuron responses occur for specific executive or episodic cognitive tasks.

Electrophysiological and pharmacological data provide evidence that the medial prefrontal cortex is essential for rats to learn a timing task, becoming unnecessary later, while the dorsal striatum does not play a role initially, taking over when animals become proficient.

A new magnetic resonance brain imaging measure reveals that variations in people’s ability to recall their past experiences may be related to the speed at which electrical signals travel along axons in the parahippocampal cingulum bundle.

Insulinergic neuromodulation of hedonic food processing predicts future weight management and improves with weight loss in older overweight dieters.

In the zebrafish spinal cord, mixed synapses contribute to neuronal connectivity and resting excitability, which helps explain violations of the well-known 'size principle' of recruitment.

A new quantitative MRI protocol reveals reduced myelin in the striatum in children with developmental language disorder, shedding light on the brain basis of this disorder.

A new imaging method reveals previously undetected structural differences that may contribute to developmental language disorder.

Epidermal PIEZO1 is a key keratinocyte mechanotransducer which mediates normal behavioral and sensory neuron responses to cutaneous mechanical stimulation.

Photoreceptors diversify their target field at long range through a graded signal.

Extrinsic signals establish an invariant and stereotyped pattern of neuronal differentiation and programmed cell death in the Drosophila visual system.
