Optical imaging and optogenetic inactivation of dorsal mouse neocortex reveal an unexpected role for retrosplenial cortex in the context-dependent transformation of whisker sensory information into licking for a water reward.

Fine-scale exogenous attention within the foveola selectively enhances contrast gain at low-to-mid spatial frequencies while increasing response gain across a broad spatial frequency range.

Learning from potential disinformation introduces specific cognitive biases, causing individuals to systematically deviate from an idealized Bayesian updating strategy.

Endogenous tagging and conditional silencing of vesicular transporters reveal widespread, conserved co-transmission, and enable causal dissection of transmitter-specific synaptic function, linking molecular identity to circuit dynamics and behavior in vivo.

Whole-cell recordings paired with a network model show that post-inhibitory rebound excitation in premotor neurons couples intrinsic excitability to the temporal structure of learned birdsong.

Rather than exerting a uniform influence, arousal modulates the connectome through a structured, low-dimensional community architecture characterized by discrete topological patterns and intrinsic hemispheric asymmetries.
