Recordings from brainstem nuclei involved in chemosensory regulation of breathing in awake freely behaving mice show different complementary types of neuronal responses to hypercapnia in the retrotrapezoid nucleus and the rostral medullary raphe.

Individual human first-order tactile neurons, those that innervate the mechanoreceptors in the skin, can signal information about edge orientation differences at the limit of what people can feel and across a broad range of speeds relevant for real-world hand use.

New study reveals how various regions of the human cortex connect to the hippocampus along its longer anterior-posterior axis, shedding light on the way this structure is functionally organized.

The rodent brain represents uncertainty associated with short-term predictions during naturalistic navigation tasks sequentially by sampling hypothetical future trajectories in every ~100 ms, corresponding to successive theta cycles.

The capacity to sustain effort to obtain rewards over time depends on the levels of the antioxidant glutathione in the nucleus accumbens - a brain region critical for motivated behavior - and can be boosted with a nutritional intervention (N-acetylcysteine).

The results reported here provide new and foundational insights into the neural architecture that underpins hippocampal dependent memory systems in the human brain by providing detailed maps that show how different cortical areas anatomically connect within the hippocampus.

The voltage-gated sodium channel Na_v1.1 is identified as an essential component of the proprioceptive transmission machinery that is required in vivo for normal motor behavior.

Retinal ganglion cell axons release the morphogen sonic hedgehog which signals through astrocytes to induce the migration of inhibitory interneurons into the developing visual thalamus.

Artificial neural networks can faithfully recapitulate realistic neuronal behavior with dramatically accelerated simulation runtimes, empowering accessible large-scale realistic network simulations.

Core associative learning phenomena that are observed in studies of eyeblink conditioning are also observed in sensorimotor adaptation, pointing to a common framework for these distinct cerebellar-dependent motor learning processes.
