Weaker performance in adolescent mice arises from immature cortical representations and cognitive bias, linking developmental changes in behavior with underlying neural coding.
A study that monitored the expression and function of designer receptors called DREADDs in macaque monkeys for a period of three years demonstrates that they are effective in long-term studies of nonhuman primates.
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy and microstructural modelling longitudinally tracks cell-specific cerebellar development to non-invasively monitor, and better understand, early brain microstructure.
Chronic stress impairs the autoinhibition in locus coeruleus neurons by inducing the internalization of α2A adrenaline receptors, which causes their overexcitation and consequently induces their degeneration by producing active asparagine endopeptidase.
