Dopamine transporter (DAT) interaction with furopyrimidine called AIM-100 in intact cells leads to dramatic oligomerization, nanoclustering and endocytosis of DAT by a novel mechanism coupled to the transporter molecule conformation.
Single cell knockout and overexpression reveal that the synaptic cell adhesion molecule NGL2 maintains synapses and axons, and can restore lost connections in the developing and mature retina.

Large-scale replication study with brain potentials challenges the view that people routinely predict the phonological form of a predictable word during language comprehension.
Doubletime kinase stabilizes the PER/TIM complex and regulates its transcriptional inhibition function to delay circadian transcriptional activity, helping sustain 24-hour periodicity in the circadian clock.
Neurexin–Neuroligin1 complex positively regulates F-actin assembly through direct interaction with WAVE complex to control normal synaptic growth and electrophysiological function in Drosophila neuromuscular junction.
The orbitofrontal neurons only encode the value of one item, which may be selected by covert attention combining factors of value and visual salience, suggesting a sequential processing mechanism of value information in the brain.

A new open-source computational toolbox for processing in vivo microendoscopic calcium imaging data performs signal demixing and denoising much more accurately than previously available methods, significantly improving the utility of this imaging modality.
