Small probes show that most AMPA receptors are constrained near or in the synapses.

Proteins of the reticulon and REEP families, homologous to the products of human Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia disease genes, contribute to shaping and continuity of the axonal endoplasmic reticulum network in Drosophila.

Expression of transcription factor BMAL1 in skeletal muscle reduces the recovery response to sleep loss and is both necessary and sufficient to regulate total sleep amount.

Similar to spontaneous eye blinks perceptual stability, despite small saccades, is related to actively silencing transients in the high-level ends of both ventral and dorsal visual cortices, while activity in low-level visual cortex remains unstable.

Calcium-binding synaptotagmins are involved in ring oligomer formation, which allows synaptotagmins to synchronize neurotransmitter release to Ca²⁺ influx.

A clock gene expressed in skeletal muscle plays a bigger role in regulating sleep than it does in the brain.

Identification and functional characterization of C. elegans luqin-like arginine-tyrosine-NH2 (RYamide) peptides reveal their critical role in feeding-related processes.

During awake Sharp wave-ripple memory reactivation, hippocampal-cortical representations for movement- versus immobility-associated experiences are reactivated separately.

LDT-VTA dysfunction induced by prenatal glucocorticoid exposure leads to reward deficits that can be ameliorated by selective optogenetic activation of this circuit.

Short bursts of high-intensity exercise elicit robust improvements in core cognitive abilities, especially in individuals whose genotype is associated with lower cognitive performance.
