Functional and anatomical analysis reveal a crucial role played during embryonic development by microglia in the ontogenesis and function of central circuits responsible for respiratory rhythmogenesis.

Hippocampal BOLD activity reflects behavioral performance and feedback in a fast-paced timing task, supporting the formation of task-specific yet flexible and generalizable sensorimotor representations in real time.

The organization of olfactory projection neurons and their synaptic connectivity with third-order neurons studied along with olfactory responses suggest that the labeled-line design is partially at work in the Drosophila olfactory system.

Validated mathematical relationships between motoneuron morphometric and electrophysiological properties are provided as a tool for neuroscientists and modellers to generate hypotheses for experimental studies investigating currently unreported relationships and build virtual motoneuron profiles with consistent properties for modelling purposes.

Neuronal reactivation during dopamine modulation induces input-specific LTP at previously primed hippocampal synapses, suggesting a possible solution to the credit assignment problem and a mechanism for memory linking.

Rendering compound vision at high speed with high precision, enabling rapid, data-driven exploration of the compound eye design space.

In the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, the population activity of descending neurons (DNs) projecting from the brain to the motor system is predominantly correlated with locomotion with only a few DNs encoding grooming or olfactory signals in the absence of behavior.

Newly identified roles for the kinesin-1 light chain subunit KLC4 in patterning developing axon arbors, regulating microtubule dynamics and influencing behavior of larval and adult zebrafish.

A comprehensive analysis of Tensin3 function in oligodendrogenesis links the fields of transcriptional control in oligodendrocyte lineage cells with morphogenetic changes and integrin signaling mediated cell survival.

The activation of defence brain circuits drives decisions to help conspecifics under threat.
