Effective navigation of odor plumes in the wild requires that animals sense multiple temporal aspects of odor signals, which are encoded naturally by neurons in the fly olfactory circuit.
An anatomically constrained computational model of the macaque cortical network demonstrates the emergence of large-scale distributed patterns of mnemonic activity sustained by long-range cortico-cortical interactions.
Stimulus-receptivity loss increases coupling of a sensory neuron to a second sensory circuit by upregulating neuropeptide receptors, enhancing output of the second circuit, and providing a mechanism for cross-modal plasticity.
Simulations of a detailed network model show that the pattern of synaptic interactions resulting from learning is critical for the emergence of population bursts, sequential neuronal activity, and fast oscillations in the hippocampus.
Perceptual haptic representation of materials emerges from unsupervised learning as a consequence of efficient encoding of the physical signals at the input of tactile sensory system.

The organic insecticide spinosad severely impacts metabolism, the cell biology, and the visual system of the model insect Drosophila, suggesting that it poses a threat to other non-pest insect exposed to it in the field.
APEX2 proximity labeling of genetically targeted neurons enables subcellular and cell type-specific proteomics in the mouse brain, revealing the axonal and somatodendritic proteomes of midbrain dopaminergic neurons.
