The study of sleep following monocular deprivation has shown that sleep slow oscillations and spindles occurring during non-REM sleep have a role in homeostatic ocular dominance plasticity even in the adulthood, beyond synaptic homeostatic hypothesis that applies to Hebbian phenomena.

Applying decomposition of oscillatory and aperiodic signal components to developmental EEG data provides a solution for the problems in the investigation of alpha power during brain maturation.

The developing neocortex exhibits spontaneous network activity with various synchrony levels, and such activity is selectively required during a critical developmental time window for the formation of long-range axonal projections connecting the two cortical hemispheres.

An analysis of enhancer activity during mouse cerebellar development provides an invaluable resource for studying gene expression regulation by enhancers in the developing cerebellum and delivers a rich dataset of novel gene-enhancer associations providing a basis for future in-depth studies.

An increased emphasis on falsification – the direct testing of strong hypotheses – will lead to faster progress in science by allowing well-specified hypotheses to be eliminated.

BehaviorDEPOT is a general purpose behavior analysis software that will meet the needs of thousands of behavioral neuroscientists who need accurate, flexible open-source software to analyze naturalistic behaviors and align then with neural data.

A computer model of the mouse visual cortex shows that local brain circuits are organized as switches whose states are coded as neuronal oscillations with different frequencies.

Vocal development in marmoset monkeys begins in utero.

A simple efficient coding model predicts complex trade-offs in resource allocation for sensory inputs with heterogeneous receptor densities and activation levels.

Human brain suggests an asymmetric organization along a functional cortical axis describing a hierarchical functional trajectory from perceptual/action to abstract cognition, which is heritable and comparable with macaque brain, suggesting (phylo)genetic conservation and adaptation.
