Stellate cells in the medial entorhinal cortex are functionally heterogeneous but a substantial fraction are grid cells.

The relationship between grid cells and two types of neurons found in the medial entorhinal cortex has been clarified.

The subthalamic nucleus is linked to a nociceptive network and involved in nociceptive processing and perception.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling plays a causal role in female-typical social behavior and modulates oxytocin neuron gene expression.

In vivo detection of optically evoked endogenous opioid peptides reveals anatomically distinct release profiles.

A nerve bundle is not simply a cable of wires, but has order within it.

An under-studied microtubule-associated protein is found to regulate axon growth and branching by modulating microtubule-based organelle transport through its dual interactions with microtubules and the conventional kinesin motor.

Dopamine modulates behavioral measures of learning and pleasantness in a learning task guided by intrinsic reward, inducing long-term memory benefits specially in those participants with a high sensitivity to reward.

Greater connectivity of the descending pain modulatory system network in the infant brain is associated with lower pain-related brain activity.

A high axonal chloride concentration explains why activation of light-gated chloride channels causes neurotransmitter release, and a novel hybrid somatodendritic targeting motif ameliorates this phenomenon and improves their inhibitory function.
