Both hand and face representations remain relatively stable after arm amputation in adulthood, with no link to phantom limb pain, whereas pre-natal limb loss triggers complex patterns of remapping that do not relate to cortical topography.

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis defines hair cell and supporting cell types in the zebrafish inner ear, and reveals homologies with cells in the mammalian ear.

The brain can predict the location of a moving object to compensate for the delays caused by the processing of neural signals.

To accurately represent object position in real time, the human visual system predictively encodes the location of moving objects, compensating for the time required for transmission and processing of information.

V2 and V4 contain orthogonal maps of orientation and spatial frequency, which indicates a fundamental principle of functional mapping across the cortical surface that ensures and optimizes the complete representation of all combinations across two coding dimensions.

A novel method of recording neural activity from the rodent medial prefrontal cortex reveals that the medial prefrontal cortex is composed of functionally distinct subregions that process economic decision information differentially along a dorso-ventral gradient.

Multiple trans-synaptic tracing methods reveal that there is no spatial segregation between flexor and extensor premotor interneurons in the lumbar spinal cord.

A muscle-derived Wnt signal promotes dendritic branching of somatosensory neurons in response to a concurrent deficiency in vitamins, minerals, and cholesterol.

Changes in the interpretation of specific scenes in a narrative trigger corresponding updates in the neural patterns evoked by those scenes in the default mode network.

Single-cell transcriptomics correlated with in situ gene expression analysis provide an overview of the diversity and molecular features of cell types in the squid Loligo vulgaris.
