    Presynaptic NMDA receptors facilitate short-term plasticity and BDNF release at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses

    Pablo J Lituma, Hyung-Bae Kwon ... Pablo E Castillo
    By facilitating glutamate and BDNF release, presynaptic NMDA receptors may control information transfer from the dentate gyrus to the CA3 area of the hippocampus.

    The organizational principles of de-differentiated topographic maps in somatosensory cortex

    Peng Liu, Anastasia Chrysidou ... Esther Kuehn
    SI topographic finger maps of older adults show signs of cortical aging but do not show classical hallmarks of cortical de-differentiation.

    Corticothalamic gating of population auditory thalamocortical transmission in mouse

    Baher A Ibrahim, Caitlin A Murphy ... Daniel A Llano
    Sensory stimulation produces stochastic population responses in the cortex that are governed by layer 6 cortico-reticular projections that modulate thalamic synchrony.

    Introduction to the EQIPD quality system

    Anton Bespalov, René Bernard ... Thomas Steckler
    A system has been developed that supports generation of reliable basic biomedical research data while being open-access and lean with no negative impact on freedom of scientific exploration.

    Stimulus-dependent relationships between behavioral choice and sensory neural responses

    Daniel Chicharro, Stefano Panzeri, Ralf M Haefner
    New stimulus-dependencies of choice-related signals in sensory neurons uncovered by new analytical results and methods.

    Cross-species analysis defines the conservation of anatomically segregated VMH neuron populations

    Alison H Affinati, Paul V Sabatini ... Alan C Rupp
    This atlas and analysis of conserved ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) neuron populations provides an unbiased starting point for the analysis of VMH circuitry and function.

    Metal microdrive and head cap system for silicon probe recovery in freely moving rodent

    Mihály Vöröslakos, Peter C Petersen ... György Buzsáki
    A reusable system of 3D printed stainless steel microdrive and plastic head cap allows stable recording of electrophysiological data in mice and rats and easy recovery of silicon probes.

    Spontaneous neural synchrony links intrinsic spinal sensory and motor networks during unconsciousness

    Jacob Graves McPherson, Maria F Bandres
    Persistent, non-random sensorimotor connectivity reveals the capacity of intrinsic spinal networks to purposefully replay and modify learned patterns of neural transmission during unconsciousness.

    Optogenetic strategies for high-efficiency all-optical interrogation using blue-light-sensitive opsins

    Angelo Forli, Matteo Pisoni ... Tommaso Fellin
    A new soma-targeted variant of the large-conductance blue-light-sensitive opsin CoChR combined with advanced optical stimulation methods allows high-efficiency all-optical neuronal imaging and stimulation in mouse brain in vivo.

    TRPM channels mediate learned pathogen avoidance following intestinal distention

    Adam Filipowicz, Jonathan Lalsiamthara, Alejandro Aballay
    Behavioral assays using Caenorhabditis elegans show that a learned pathogen avoidance following intestinal distention requires specific chemosensory neurons and TRPM channels in the intestine and excretory cell.
