Maternal obesity and excess of the adipocyte hormone leptin delays the emergence of synaptic inhibition in the developing brain mice.

We are starting to understand how the cerebellum contributes to vocal learning in songbirds.

Set size effects in visual working memory are explained as a resource-rational trade-off between an error-based behavioral cost and a neural encoding cost.

Prediction of future input explains diverse neural tuning properties in sensory cortex.

Model-based imaging shows that the rostrolateral prefrontal cortex supports dissimilarity-based heuristics that people may use when they are confronted with ambiguous scenarios.

Experiments in wind tunnels have shed light on the rules that govern how flies respond when they detect odors.

The cerebellum can learn a sequence of responses by using a feedback signal from the previous movement to learn the next one.

Rabbits can learn the biological analogue of a simple recursive function by relying only on the neurons of the cerebellum.

Behaviorally-driven expression of the immediate early gene transcription factor NPAS4 changes local circuit connectivity and short-term plasticity by selectively recruiting CCK basket cell synapses to pyramidal neuron somas.

In a new evidence-accumulation decision-making task, activity of the lateral posterior cerebellum is necessary for accurate performance, and somatic and dendritic activity in Purkinje cells contains choice/evidence and error-related information.
