Genetic, behavioral, and biochemical evidence reveals that the Drosophila TRPγ channel is required in neuroendocrine cells for the starvation-induced switch in preference to less palatable but more nutritive food.

Rai14-Tara complex enhances the stability of dendritic spines and synaptic connections relevant to depressive-like behaviors.

When a common error drives parallel implicit and explicit learning systems, increases in the explicit response will suppress implicit adaptation.

In developing neural cell cultures, information flows lock-in early and nodes undertake specialised computational roles.

Alternatively spliced C-terminal protein sequences encoded by the Syngap1 gene exhibit unique biochemical and functional properties in vivo, which explain in part how individual isoforms can promote cognitive functions and seizure protection.

Olfactory sensory neurons have centrioles that are amplified in number and that migrate from the cell body to the end of the dendrite relatively slowly and in groups, becoming mature only after they reach their destination.

Reward and information are independently optimized in the human prefrontal cortex, while their signals combine in subcortical regions.

Calsyntenin-3 functions in cerebellar Purkinje neurons as a postsynaptic adhesion molecule that, unexpectedly, suppresses excitatory parallel-fiber synapse numbers but boosts inhibitory synapse numbers and thereby controls the excitatory/inhibitory balance of Purkinje neurons.

The fMRI-BOLD signal in human early visual cortex reflects alertness and behavioral performance on the timescale of individual trials.

Neuronal activity in the primate orbitofrontal cortex reveals different choice biases observed when offers are presented sequentially originate at different stages of the decision process.
