    An NMDA receptor-dependent mechanism for subcellular segregation of sensory inputs in the tadpole optic tectum

    Ali S Hamodi, Zhenyu Liu, Kara G Pratt
    An activity-dependent mechanism sculpts subcellular segregation of sensory inputs.

    Lognormal firing rate distribution reveals prominent fluctuation–driven regime in spinal motor networks

    Peter C Petersen, Rune W Berg
    Neuronal participation in generation of motor patterns in the spinal circuits is lognormal, which is an indication of a rich diversity of activity within the mean-driven as well as the fluctuation-driven regimes.

    Targeted deletion of AKAP7 in dentate granule cells impairs spatial discrimination

    Brian W Jones, Jennifer Deem ... G Stanley McKnight
    The PKA anchoring protein, AKAP7, localizes PKA in dentate granule mossy fibers and this localization plays an important role in contextual discrimination and cAMP-induced synaptic plasticity.

    Lovastatin fails to improve motor performance and survival in methyl-CpG-binding protein2-null mice

    Claudia Villani, Giuseppina Sacchetti ... Roberto William Invernizzi
    Lovastatin ability to rescue motor deficits and survival in a mouse model of Rett syndrome is strongly influenced by the genetic background.

    How prior preferences determine decision-making frames and biases in the human brain

    Alizée Lopez-Persem, Philippe Domenech, Mathias Pessiglione
    Model-based analyses of choice behavior and fMRI activity revealed that prior preferences generate default policies, which frame the decision value signal encoded in the vmPFC, and shift vmPFC pre-choice activity so as to induce a decision bias toward default options.

    Loss of Frataxin activates the iron/sphingolipid/PDK1/Mef2 pathway in mammals

    Kuchuan Chen, Tammy Szu-Yu Ho ... Hugo J Bellen
    The iron/sphingolipid/PDK1/Mef2 pathway is activated in mammals upon loss of Frataxin.

    Organization and function of Drosophila odorant binding proteins

    Nikki K Larter, Jennifer S Sun, John R Carlson
    A genetic analysis reveals that some olfactory sensilla of Drosophila do not require an abundant odorant binding protein and that one such protein may act in gain control.

    Regulatory changes in two chemoreceptor genes contribute to a Caenorhabditis elegans QTL for foraging behavior

    Joshua S Greene, May Dobosiewicz ... Cornelia I Bargmann
    A quantitative trait locus that includes two pheromone receptor genes affects foraging behavior; for one of the genes, the two alleles of the QTL have opposite effects because of distinct sites of expression.

    Radial glia regulate vascular patterning around the developing spinal cord

    Ryota L Matsuoka, Michele Marass ... Didier YR Stainier
    Identification of a novel role for central nervous system-resident progenitors in the patterning of the vascular network around the developing spinal cord.
