Cholinergic populations with distinct cellular birthdates innervate deep versus superficial layers of the cortex with exquisite specificity.

During sleep, the brain experiences large fluctuations in blood volume and altered coupling between neural and vascular signals.

Trans-synaptic protein interactions are required for synapse specification and function, and the combination between neuroligin3 and αneurexin1 controls inhibitory synaptic function in a splice isoform- and interneuron-specific manner.

Neuregulins control the integration of specific excitatory and inhibitory synapses through subcellular sorting.

Analyses show that happiness is not associated with the reward prediction errors resulting from decisions but instead with belief updating and learning the structure of the world.

Hierarchical modeling of internalizing symptoms and task performance reveals that difficulty adapting probabilistic learning to second-order uncertainty is common to anxiety and depression and holds across rewarding and punishing outcomes.

Diffusion-MRI-based cerebral cortical microstructure encoding regionally differential dendritic arborization and synaptic formation at birth robustly predicts future 2-year-old cognitive and language outcomes with regionally heterogeneous contribution that exhibits functional selectivity.

Proprioceptive signals about leg position, movement, and vibration are integrated in downstream circuits in the fly's central nervous system.

The visual message conveyed by retinal neurons to the brain when signaling natural scenes resembles the individual receptive fields only when viewed in context of the neuronal population.

Neural pathways from mammalian visual cortex to ancestral brain structures control learning speed and performance of a simple detection task.
