Alternatively spliced C-terminal protein sequences encoded by the Syngap1 gene exhibit unique biochemical and functional properties in vivo, which explain in part how individual isoforms can promote cognitive functions and seizure protection.

Olfactory sensory neurons have centrioles that are amplified in number and that migrate from the cell body to the end of the dendrite relatively slowly and in groups, becoming mature only after they reach their destination.

Reward and information are independently optimized in the human prefrontal cortex, while their signals combine in subcortical regions.

Calsyntenin-3 functions in cerebellar Purkinje neurons as a postsynaptic adhesion molecule that, unexpectedly, suppresses excitatory parallel-fiber synapse numbers but boosts inhibitory synapse numbers and thereby controls the excitatory/inhibitory balance of Purkinje neurons.

The fMRI-BOLD signal in human early visual cortex reflects alertness and behavioral performance on the timescale of individual trials.

Neuronal activity in the primate orbitofrontal cortex reveals different choice biases observed when offers are presented sequentially originate at different stages of the decision process.

The role of genetically identified V3 interneurons with ascending propriospinal projections in the spinal locomotor circuitry and their contribution to the limb coordination and speed-dependent gait expression during locomotion were investigated using a combination of experimental studies and computational modeling.

Conflicting evidence about how the brain processes social and individual learning stems from which type of information is presented as the primary source of knowledge during experiments.

The neuropeptide Drosulfakinin (DSK) functions in a subset of DSK neurons to interact with neural nodes in the sex circuit and acts through its receptor CCKLR-17D3 to control female sexual behavior.

The hippocampus controls context-dependent defensive behaviors through the anterior hypothalamus, a major component of the medial hypothalamic defense system, by retrieving contextual information essential for avoiding predatory threats and escaping to a safe shelter.
