Endogenous µ- and δ-opioid receptors do not form stable heterodimers in cholinergic interneurons.

A continuum of ripple oscillations in human anterior temporal lobe reflects the dynamic synchrony of populations of neurons during memory retrieval.

Presynaptic plasticity in simulated neural networks with a simple biologically plausible learning rule improves metabolic efficiency and lifelong learning capabilities.

Mu and delta opioid receptors signal independently in hippocampal parvalbumin interneurons to regulate somato-dendritic excitability and synaptic transmission, with the delta opioid receptor dominating the response to enkephalin.

3D serial electron microscopy reveals that individual dopamine axons in the nucleus accumbens contain different varicosity types based on their vesicle contents, rarely make synapses, and undergo major structural plasticity in response to cocaine.

Consistent spatial clustering and fine-scale neural tuning to different face parts were found within the face-processing regions, which may be the neural implementation of efficient neural computation for face identification.

Constitutive deficiency of AP2γ transcription factor impairs hippocampal glutamatergic neurogenesis and induces alterations on limbic-cortical connectivity that contribute to anxiety-like behavior and cumulative memory deficits in mice from juvenile to adult periods.

Drosophila larvae show taste multimodality and combinatorial sensing at gustatory organ level but also systemically as they employ complementary external and internal taste in sugar detection.

A combination of single-cell RNA sequencing of the developing septum and genetic fate mapping is used to analyze the origin of septal neurons.

Complex motor behaviors can be assembled from simpler repeating elements controlled by pattern-generation circuits operating at different time scales.
