Human neurons derived from stem cells show increased structural complexity and stronger synaptic connections after exposure to psilocin, the active metabolite of the psychedelic psilocybin.

Rigorous analysis in two knockout mouse lines demonstrates that death receptor 6 is not required for axon degeneration or Schwann cell injury responses following peripheral nerve transection.

Strategic avoidance of uncertainty emerges under high cognitive demands, enabling faster decisions without impairing learning.

Psilocin induces a durable neuroplastic state in human cortical neurons by enhancing BDNF signaling, neurite complexity, synaptogenesis, and synaptic network activity through 5-HT2A receptor-dependent mechanisms.

Activity fluctuations, or noise correlations, are robust measures of neuronal connectivity and they reveal that neural circuity controls mixing of information at a granular level across millimeter-length scales.

A novel pipeline for analyzing longitudinal two-photon microscopy data of cerebrovasculature in mice interrogates the vasculature network before and after optogenetic stimulation, revealing new insights into their coordination.

Being responsible for a partner's adverse outcomes is associated with anterior insula activation, while the superior temporal sulcus tracks prediction errors for the partner's reward resulting from the participant's decisions.

NAT10-mediated mRNA acetylation links neural activity to local protein synthesis at synapses, influencing memory consolidation.

Stress-related corticotropin-releasing factor signaling directly modulates striatal cholinergic circuits, and alcohol exposure disrupts this control, revealing a circuit mechanism linking stress, alcohol use, and impaired behavioral flexibility.
