A genetically-defined population of spinal interneurons is reciprocally connected with spinal locomotor circuits and mediates recovery of locomotor function following spinal cord transection.

An expanded map of mouse cortex reveals the expansion of retinotopic organization into barrel and retrosplenial cortices.

Basket cells expressing parvalbumin or cholecystokinin provide equally effective control of principal neuron activity via their perisomatic synapses in the basal amygdala.

Repression of the G protein-coupled chemokine receptor CCR5 enhances MAPK/CREB signaling, long-term potentiation, somatosensory cortical plasticity, and learning and memory, while CCR5 over-activation by viral proteins may contribute to HIV-associated cognitive deficits.

Interneuron-specific alternative splice variants of the synaptic receptor neurexin are critical for hippocampal network activity and short-term memory.

Neurotransmitter balance in a region in frontal cortex controls how much people use information they have learnt to guide their behaviour.

A new spinal somatosensory preparation is described which enables fine control of sensory input and the ability to manipulate spinal interneurons while recording from spinal projection neurons.

Behavioral, biochemical, and biophysical analyses show that age-related memory deficits can be rescued by directly overexpressing wild-type CREB.

The first comprehensive map of all excitatory inputs to the mouse striatum is presented and used to define and demarcate striatal subdivisions, including a previous unappreciated novel subdivision in the posterior striatum.

The genome-organizer Satb2 has a key role in memory formation by modulating availability of miRNAs that control the function of synapses.
