LncRNAs are important to stabilize postmitotic cell fate of spinal motor neurons.

Rods, not ipRGCs, are the major retinal photoreceptor impacting development of dopaminergic signaling in the retina.

Neurons can synchronize, supporting flexible communication among brain areas; closed-loop optogenetics allows the frequency and power of population oscillations to be dissociated, providing a tool to interrogate how networks couple.

Signals from primate rod photoreceptors do not exhibit the light-level-dependent routing through parallel retinal circuits observed in rodents and often invoked in interpreting psychophysical experiments.

Speeded value-based decisions between two options can be affected by a third, high-value distractor that captures attention and slows down the choice process.

Loss of potassium channel activity from fast-spiking interneurons increases their excitability leading to unexpectedly increased fast excitatory transmission and seizure susceptibility.

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.
