Pupil diameter cannot accurately predict spiking activity in the locus coeruleus on a moment-by-moment basis, and exhibited large fluctuations to identical stimulation in the LC.

Single-cell transcriptomic analyses of hypothalamic POMC neurons performed at seven developmental ages revealed marked cellular heterogeneity and divergent developmental pathways into alternative neuronal phenotypes that lack POMC.

During development, lateral processes of retinal Müller glia are highly motile, and this motility persists when retinal waves and calcium transients are blocked, suggesting that Müller glial morphology is established independent of neuronal activity.

Of the 50 primary olfactory channels in vinegar flies, only 10 drive avoidance or approach behavior when activated by themselves, indicating that most olfactory responses are multi-channel responses that follow complex combination rules.

A suspected change in action-outcome contingencies evokes a stereotyped response in the processes underlying a decision, resulting in a slow exploratory decision policy that gradually shifts to an exploitative policy as the environment remains stable.

Expansion microscopy combined with light-sheet and STED microscopy elucidated the spatial organization and subcellular composition of two distinct GABAergic CSF-c neuronal subtypes in the lamprey spinal cord.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors modulate impulse control by the subthalamic nucleus, dissociating trait impulsivity from basal ganglia motor function.

Hunger-sensitive AgRP neurons must sense changes in calorie availability to transmit metabolic information into dopamine release in the NAc and dorsal striatum, albeit over different time frames, to increase motivated food reward seeking.

Sleep-wake patterns, together with a suprachiasmatic nuclei-independent circadian factor, are necessary and sufficient to maintain high-amplitude nychthemeral rhythms in PERIOD-2.

Physiology studies demonstrate that CaMKII is a molecular storage device.
