Spontaneous and visually evoked neuronal ensembles in mouse visual cortex can last for weeks, potentially supporting the long-lasting representation of perceptions and memories.

Identification of novel vesicular transporters will shed light on to expanding the chemical diversity of neurotransmitters or neuromodulators.

Patterns of cortical excitability changes reflect the degree of sleepiness in humans.

Beliefs of others’ pain provide a cognitive basis of human empathy and altruism by modulating empathic brain activity.

A deep neural network trained on semi-synthetic data learns to quickly track and identify neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Molecular, cellular and behavioral genetic approaches in Platynereis dumerilii indicate that r-Opsins can act as ancient, light-dependent modulators of mechanosensation, and suggest that light-independent mechanosensory roles of r-Opsins evolved secondarily.

The claustrum comprises spatially patterned excitatory neuron subtypes with distinct molecular and projection properties.

A new method is described to apply rapid and uniform mechanical forces to vestibular and cochlear hair cells.

ERK activation during induction of long-term synaptic plasticity is enhanced by synergistic interactions among signaling pathways mediated by the synaptically located GTPase-activating protein, and each pathway contributes to different ERK temporal dynamics.

Genetic analyses using a simple nervous system of the nematode revealed the novel function of the cell fate-determining transcriptional repressor complex in the differentiated neurons to determine the precise synapse position.
