Pairs of spinal cord neurons arising from a shared progenitor get input from and make outputs to mostly different synaptic partners.

Human-like color categories emerge in a Deep Neural Network trained only on object recognition.

Synaptic silencing-induced homeostatic enhancement of presynaptic glutamate release is mediated by the postsynaptic retinoic acid-dependent brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) synthesis from dendritically targeted BDNF transcripts, leading to retrograde activation of presynaptic tropomyosin receptor kinase B receptors.

In the mouse cerebellum, the number of branched synapses is reduced in half after sleep compared to after wake.

Prefrontal PV interneuron activity during development is necessary for prefrontal circuit maturation, supporting adult prefrontal network function and cognitive flexibility.

Levels of the metabolite NMN, the precursor of NAD⁺, determine whether dSarm-mediated axon death signaling is activated and injury-induced axon degeneration executed in the fruit fly Drosophila.

An inhibitory feedback circuit from Purkinje cells to molecular layer interneurons within the cerebellum has been characterized and found to be employed in vivo during motor learning.

Constitutive activation of an innate immunity response in mouse brain causes degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, suggesting novel targets for potentially neuroprotective strategies.

Computed tomography data reveal large and adult-looking inner ears in very young individuals of the long-necked dinosaur Europasaurus holgeri suggesting precociality in this dwarfed island dweller from the Late Jurassic of Germany.

Scratch-AID, a deep learning-based system for automatic quantification of mouse scratching behavior, could replace labor-intensive manual quantification and facilitate high through-put anti-itch drug screening.
