Functional neuroimaging in the human brain reveals the neurocognitive mechanisms that underpin the experience of mind-wandering during reading, explaining why comprehension is impaired.

Flow stimulates PC-1/PC-2 clusters in the plasma membrane of endothelial cells, leading to Ca²⁺ influx, NOS, SK channel, and IK channel activation, vasodilation, and a reduction in blood pressure.

The parabrachial nucleus-thalamic paraventricular nucleus pathway is critical for modulating affective states in mice.

In vivo whole-cell recordings in the piriform cortex show that two classes of layer 1 interneurons respond differently to odors, suggesting that these neurons provide kinetically distinctive types of odor-evoked feedforward inhibition.

A new brain circuit that contributes to aversive states, such as fear or anxiety, has been characterized in mice.

Neuroimaging proves to be a powerful tool for capturing spatial and temporal dynamics across the whole nonhuman primate brain, bridging the gap between human and animal models.

Cerebellar-periaqueductal grey interactions contribute to fear-conditioned processes and, as such, provide a novel target for treating psychological conditions including post-traumatic stress disorder.

A dual role of immune cells was found in ALS prognosis, where neutrophils and monocytes primarily reflect functional status whereas NK cells and different T lymphocyte populations act as prognostic markers for survival.

Eye movements are neither necessary nor sufficient to account for the neural effects associated with covert attention.

Without octopamine signaling via β octopamine receptors, which likely stimulates glycolysis, thermogenesis performed by the honeybee's indirect flight muscles is not possible.
