Explicit judgments of agency incorporate uncertainty by reflecting first-order measures of a noisy signal, but they do not correspond to second-order metacognitive measures of the noise in a signal.

The RNA binding protein FMRP regulates the synthesis of synaptic and nuclear proteins within different compartments of a neuron.

Kruppel-like factor 9 (Klf9) is a transcriptional regulator of neural stem cell expansion in the adult hippocampus.

The postsynaptic endocytic zone is a highly organized structure composed of a diversity of endocytic proteins.

Large bursts of brain activity in patients with epilepsy are geometrically related to seizure propagation.

Pupil diameter cannot accurately predict spiking activity in the locus coeruleus on a moment-by-moment basis, and exhibited large fluctuations to identical stimulation in the LC.

Single-cell transcriptomic analyses of hypothalamic POMC neurons performed at seven developmental ages revealed marked cellular heterogeneity and divergent developmental pathways into alternative neuronal phenotypes that lack POMC.

During development, lateral processes of retinal Müller glia are highly motile, and this motility persists when retinal waves and calcium transients are blocked, suggesting that Müller glial morphology is established independent of neuronal activity.

Of the 50 primary olfactory channels in vinegar flies, only 10 drive avoidance or approach behavior when activated by themselves, indicating that most olfactory responses are multi-channel responses that follow complex combination rules.

A suspected change in action-outcome contingencies evokes a stereotyped response in the processes underlying a decision, resulting in a slow exploratory decision policy that gradually shifts to an exploitative policy as the environment remains stable.
