Novel stimulation patterns and large-scale neural activity recording show that an input-specific supra-linear summation synthesizes a sparse, but comprehensive code of tactile and visual stimuli in the sensory cortex.

Reducing activation of opioidergic receptors strengthens the communication between control and reward circuits in the brain during hedonic judgements.

Under time-pressure, human action is temporarily dominated by stimuli in the environment, and this results in behavior conflicting with current goals.

Prairie and meadow voles show striking sex and species differences in social motivation to access conspecifics of different types (familiar versus unfamiliar and same-sex versus opposite-sex).

The mouse rod photoreceptor ribbon creates a large number of releasable vesicles with uniform release kinetics.

Electrophysiology experiments with genetic and pharmacological manipulations identify a role for astrocyte GluN2C NMDA receptors in maintaining the broad range of presynaptic strengths, which is suggested by numerical simulations to enhance the expression of synaptic plasticity.

Using single nucleus RNA sequencing, a complete catalogue of cell types was determined for the mouse iris, and this information was used as a starting point to define the effects of pupil dilation on gene expression and on nuclear morphology.

Inhibition of activity in the right frontal eye fields reduces the amplifying effect of gaze in value-based choice.

Waschke and colleagues demonstrate that aperiodic EEG activity not only captures subtle attention-related changes in brain signals but also tracks 1/f-like sensory input.

The retinoid-binding protein RLBP1 in the retinal pigment epithelium is crucially involved in cone photoreceptor visual pigment recycling and mimics the human eye disease with retinal lipid deposits when mutated.
