Experiments using zebrafish identify a novel sleep-promoting neuronal circuit in which hypothalamic NPVF neurons promote sleep via the hindbrain serotonergic raphe nuclei, which promote sleep in both zebrafish and mice.

Concepts can be represented at multiple levels of specificity (individual examples, abstract category averages) within a single task across different regions of the brain.

In the Drosophila central brain, synaptic connectivity extracts visual-spatial information from the axons of looming sensitive LC6 neurons that terminate in a glomerulus with minimal retinotopy.

A major new class of neuronal cell type has been discovered in the auditory system, having features that make it a critical component of auditory processing.

Computer code comprehension shares neural resources with formal logical inference in the fronto-parietal network.

The visual system can learn to rapidly adjust itself through experience, switching modes to stabilize vision perception and optimize perceptual processes.

The domain-general executive brain regions support the use of a novel cognitive tool even when it is structurally similar to natural language.

In the injured sciatic nerve, blood-derived monocytes and macrophages eat dying leukocytes, thereby contributing to nerve debridement and inflammation resolution, and this correlates with neuronal regeneration.

Semiochemicals activate a subpopulation of sexually dimorphic olfactory sensory neurons.

Single measurements of baseline salivary and plasmatic oxytocin are not sufficiently reliable to provide valid trait markers of the physiology of the oxytocin system in humans.
