Burst-like neural activity in the β-frequency band conveys inhibitory commands within long-proposed cortico-subcortical networks for motor inhibition, with inhibitory activity in STN preceding thalamic activity, which has strong implications for movement disorders marked by abnormalities in β-bursting.

Integrating circuit-level theories about population dynamics in motor cortex with behavioral-level theories about motor control.

An asymmetric olfactory projection innervates a small subset of identified neurons in the right habenula, which are activated by a repulsive odorant and mediate prolonged aversive behavior, providing further evidence for lateralization of the zebrafish brain.

A vasoactive molecular imaging probe provides capability for sensitive functional imaging of cancer-associated protease activity in vivo.

Investigating how an artificial network of neurons controls a simulated arm suggests that rotational patterns of activity in the motor cortex may rely on sensory feedback from the moving limb.

Driving theta–gamma activity in the human cortex with non-invasive brain stimulation enhances motor skill acquisition in healthy adults, revealing a potential neuroplastic mechanism that might be harnessed for therapeutic intervention.

Light signals adjusting the brain's daily clock induce distinct waveform changes in molecular clock gene rhythms at dawn and dusk, and trigger regionally differential clock changes.

CRMP4 is a new actor in the guidance cue Semaphorin-3E pathway, crucially involved in the establishment of the fornix, a key axonal tract for memory and emotional control.

NMNAT is genetically required for glioma development and promotes glioma growth by allowing a higher tolerance to DNA damage and inhibiting DNA damage-p53-caspase-3 apoptosis signaling pathway by enhancing NAD⁺-dependent posttranslational modifications (PTMs) poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) and deacetylation of p53.

5-Hydroxymethylcytosine-mediated active DNA demethylation occurs in postmitotic neurons, and is required for their terminal differentiation and function.
