LKB1 instructs the timing and location of synapse layer emergence in the outer retina by coordinating the regulation of pre- and postsynaptic neuron maturation and transport of synapse-associated proteins.

The superior colliculus reveals hallmarks of sophisticated visual computation, including selectivity, invariance, and stimulus-specific habituation to behaviorally relevant stimuli.

Memory guides attention by enabling preparation for upcoming states in the hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex.

The neuromodulator acetylcholine contributes to state-dependent modulation of motor vigor and variability by direct action on songbird premotor cortex, bypassing basal ganglia circuitry.

Open data provides an opportunity to perform new analyses on preexisting data, but trade-offs are required to limit an increase in false positives.

Ten popular spike sorting codes are reproducibly benchmarked for accuracy on electrophysiology datasets from eleven laboratories with interactive web-based exploration of thousands of ground-truth units.

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine influences how male finches perform courtship songs by acting on a region of the premotor cortex called HVC.

β4 spectrin is required to maintain Na+ channels at the axon initial segment since, unlike nodes of Ranvier, β1 spectrin cannot substitute.

State anxiety alters the dynamics of beta oscillations during reward-dependent motor learning, thereby impairing proper updating of motor predictions when learning in unstable environments.

Macaque monkeys temporally compress past experiences and use a forward-replay mechanism during judgment of temporal-order between episodes.
