In vivo recordings from identified cell classes in the olfactory cortex of a novel transgenic mouse reveal that distinct classes of principal neurons operate largely in parallel and differentially process odor information.

Modulations of alpha oscillations from parieto-occipital brain regions can be used to decode subjective emotional arousal in a dynamic naturalistic virtual reality experience.
A novel naturalistic environment with a touchscreen enables high-quality eye tracking for studying visual cognition in monkeys, and allows naive monkeys to learn complex tasks through a combination of social observation of trained monkeys and trial-and-error learning.
Cortical offset responses are not only inherited from the periphery but also amplified and de novo generated, and preventing them decreases the ability to detect sound termination.

Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in endothelial progenitors derived from human pluripotent stem cells partially induces the specialized blood–brain barrier phenotype while the same treatment in matured endothelial cells is less efficacious.
The traditional herbal medicine Gastrodia elata Blume, in the water-extracted form as food supplement, improves locomotion and protects dopaminergic neurons in Lrrk2-G2019S Parkinson’s disease models through Nrf2 activation in glia.

The abagen toolbox provides researchers with tools to systematically process and analyze imaging transcriptomics data, improving standardization of workflows and enabling more comprehensive evaluation of research findings.
Circuit-wide calcium imaging during C. elegans foraging elucidates the functional architecture of a neural circuit controlling the choice between two alternative behavioral states.
