    Modulation of pulsatile GnRH dynamics across the ovarian cycle via changes in the network excitability and basal activity of the arcuate kisspeptin network

    Margaritis Voliotis, Xiao Feng Li ... Krasimira Tsaneva-Atanasova
    Pulse generation is an emergent property of the arcuate kisspeptin network that is regulated throughout the ovarian cycle via coordinated changes in neuronal communication and basal activation.

    Lactate is an energy substrate for rodent cortical neurons and enhances their firing activity

    Anastassios Karagiannis, Thierry Gallopin ... Bruno Cauli
    Lactate is preferred to glucose as an energy substrate and exacerbates spiking activity in most neuron types of juvenile somatosensory cortex by closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels.

    Rat sensitivity to multipoint statistics is predicted by efficient coding of natural scenes

    Riccardo Caramellino, Eugenio Piasini ... Davide Zoccolan
    Visual sensitivity to correlation patterns in rats matches that previously measured in humans, as well as predictions from efficient coding theory based on the statistics of natural images.

    Mechanisms underlying microglial colonization of developing neural retina in zebrafish

    Nishtha Ranawat, Ichiro Masai
    Genetic and imaging analysis reveal that microglial precursors use ocular blood vessels as a pathway to enter the optic cup and subsequently infiltrate the retina preferentially through the neurogenic region.

    Control of neurotransmitter release by two distinct membrane-binding faces of the Munc13-1 C1C2B region

    Marcial Camacho, Bradley Quade ... Christian Rosenmund
    Two different binding modes of the Munc13-1 C­1C2B region govern synaptic vesicle priming and neurotransmitter release probability.

    Maturation of persistent and hyperpolarization-activated inward currents shapes the differential activation of motoneuron subtypes during postnatal development

    Simon A Sharples, Gareth B Miles
    Electrophysiological recordings from mouse spinal motoneurons reveal key roles for ion channels in establishing the differential activation of motoneuron subtypes during postnatal development.

    Population receptive fields in nonhuman primates from whole-brain fMRI and large-scale neurophysiology in visual cortex

    P Christiaan Klink, Xing Chen ... Pieter R Roelfsema
    Within-species comparison of population receptive fields determined with fMRI and electrophysiology in nonhuman primates reveals the neuronal basis of blood-oxygen-level-dependent-based retinotopy.

    Magnetic Resonance: Mapping the visual world to the human brain

    Betina Ip, Holly Bridge
    The visual maps measured non-invasively in the brain of human and non-human primates reliably reflect the underlying neuronal responses recorded with invasive electrodes.

    Regulatory T-cells inhibit microglia-induced pain hypersensitivity in female mice

    Julia A Kuhn, Ilia D Vainchtein ... Allan I Basbaum
    Intrathecal injection of CSF1 induces greater upregulation of spinal microglial genes in male versus female mice, however, Treg depletion enhances microglial activation and restores pain hypersensitivity in the female mice.

    A 3D adult zebrafish brain atlas (AZBA) for the digital age

    Justin W Kenney, Patrick E Steadman ... Paul W Frankland
    A new tool for three-dimensional exploration of adult zebrafish neuroanatomy.
