Asymmetries between the shape of the left and right human cortex are highly unique to individuals, akin to a neuroanatomical fingerprint, related to cognitive function, and primarily driven by person-specific environmental influences.

A guide summarizing the diversity of cell types in the parabrachial nucleus.

In situ X-ray imaging of biological tissue samples in staining solution while they are being processed for electron microscopy reveals novel insights into the diffusion-reaction kinetics, tissue mechanics, and staining quality.

Rats are slower to initiate actions when these actions may need to be cancelled, and this slowing is associated with increased and more variable neural firing in the substantia nigra pars reticulata.

Electrical synapses determine the precise position of chemical synapses in the nervous system.

Maladaptive changes of pro-nociceptive neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala drive the chronification of muscle pain and comorbid affective behaviors.

Human brains evolved to have neural dynamics that facilitate brain-wide integration supporting complex behavior.

A proof-of-principle is provided for the use of high-density neurophysiological recordings in assessing local circuit interactions within the macaque brain.

Social deficits in IRSp53/Baiap2-mutant mice accompany decreases in prefrontal neuronal firing variability, burst firing, and social information decoding accuracy, and memantine-dependent NMDAR inhibition, which rescues social deficits, alleviates burst firing, suggesting that burst firing links NMDAR dysfunction with social deficits.

Motor context and mechanosensory feedback together influence how flies control head movements during visually guided flight maneuvers.
