Foxp2 is dispensable for several features of cortical development that were previously considered to depend on its function.

A biologically plausible learning rule enables recurrent neural networks to model the way in which neural circuits use supervised learning to perform time-dependent computations.

Neural oscillations prior to a stimulus modulate the strength of early and late responses in opposite directions via distinct mechanisms.

Opposing gradients of activin A and follistatin within the spiral shaped mammalian cochlea instruct the graded pattern of mechano-sensory hair cell formation.

Drosophila use distinct sensory mechanisms to detect and integrate the same tactile and taste information in two decision-making tasks that serve two different purposes.

Degenerating motor neurons compensate for energetic deficits by upregulating glycolysis in flies and humans, with increased glucose availability improving locomotor function and lifespan in flies.

Synapses employ distinct acute and chronic signaling processes in order to maintain physiologically appropriate levels of function.

The Drosophila lateral horn, a higher olfactory brain area, contains >165 genetically defined cell types with stereotyped odour responses across animals and improved odor categorisation compared with their inputs.

Inhibiting ventral tegmental dopamine neurons, or their inputs to nucleus accumbens, disrupts cue-motivated reward seeking in a manner that depends on the microstructure of behavior.

Subtraction analysis using novel Orexin-Flp mice isolated physiological importance of orexin peptides.
