Synaptic vesicles undergo reversible tethering at the plasma membrane which is activity- and myosin V- dependent.

Bilateral removal of cortical area 'TE' produced deficits in monkeys' ability to discriminate among images with many similar features, whereas removal of subjacent rhinal cortex did not.

Disinhibition of dopamine neurons in the midbrain drives heroin reinforcement, the initial step towards opioid addiction.

Implementing neural changes associated with attention in a deep neural network causes performance changes that mimic those observed in humans and macaques.

Skeletal muscle performance sets the course of rapid speciation by defining the evolutionary trajectory of reproductive behavior.

A brain–computer interface for real-time identification of transient neural activity patterns enables causal inference of the role of these patterns in cognition through closed-loop manipulation.

Non-invasive optogenetic induction of synaptic plasticity revealed that long-term potentiation and long-term depression alter the chances of a synapse to survive the next seven days.

A bioengineering approach identifies tissue morphology as an effective variable for controlling the inception of neural organoid morphogenesis via induction of a biomimetic, singular neural rosette tissue cytoarchitecture.

Loss miRNA maturation in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons causes metabolic dysregulation and favors the differentiation of Pomc progenitors into neuropeptide Y neurons, a developmental process that appears to specifically involve miR-103/107.

The rational application of heuristic learning strategies and satisficing goals accounted for near-optimal decisions that combined reward and noisy visual information by well-trained monkeys.
