Reinforcement motor learning of probabilistic tasks shows a protracted developmental trajectory in childhood due to high motor noise and low exploration, though performance deficits can be ameliorated in younger children by reducing task demands in spatial processing and probabilistic reasoning.

Orexin neurons precisely track body movement across behavioral and metabolic states, revealing a neural mechanism that links motor activity to arousal and energy resources.

Thermal imaging, computer vision tools, and an open-source algorithm incorporating a transformer-based video classifier are combined to automatically detect and classify urine and fecal deposits made by male and female mice and their spatio-temporal dynamics during behavioral tests.

Reversible synaptic plasticity between sensory neurons and interneurons, switching between inhibitory and excitatory, underpins the neural basis of salt concentration memory-dependent preference reversal in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Light-activating a proton pump (eArchT) to silence hippocampal synaptic terminals in the rodent retrosplenial cortex caused a spatial working memory impairment affecting interleaved trials where no light was delivered.

A digital atlas of every cell in a developing marine worm reveals how networks across the body coordinate sensing and movement, and provides insights into the evolution of the nervous system.
