Several new magneto-mechanical and magneto-thermal mechanisms of ion channel activation in magnetogenetics are proposed that may explain some of the mysteries that challenge current understanding of the magnetogenetics experiments.

The representations of information concerning the number, size, density and surface of sets of objects in a visual image are separable along the occipito-parietal cortex and independently modulated by attention.

A brain region known as the hippocampus is required when people assess different options before making a value-based choice.

Myelination in the medial prefrontal cortex defines behavioral consequences to social stress.

TMEM16F shifts its ion selectivity in response to change of intracellular Ca²⁺, membrane potential and ionic strength.

β-arrestins recruit Nedd4 ubiquitin E3 ligase to mGlu7 receptor and facilitate ubiquitination, endocytosis, ERK signaling, and stability of mGlu7 at presynaptic terminals.

The human visual system uses sharp edges to distinguish a smooth, shaded surface from a surface blurred by optical defocus.

Human perception and brain responses differ between words, in which mouth movements are visible before the voice is heard, and words, for which the reverse is true.

ROBO isoforms with minute sequence variations have significant and distinct functions in axon guidance.

A continuously expressed LIM HD factor, Lmx1b, acts at successive stages to orchestrate the progressive morphological maturation of a long-range profusely arborized neuromodulatory axonal projection pathway.
