Solute movement in brain extracellular space is determined by solute diffusion, and does not depend on convection or aquaporin-4 expression as predicted by the glymphatic mechanism.

A novel form of hippocampal synaptic plasticity is expressed by a change in channel function of GluA3-containing AMPA-receptors.

A network, composed of 22 relatives of the Beaten Path and Sidestep immunoglobulin superfamily cell surface proteins, also includes several neuronal Beaten Path subfamily receptors which interact selectively with Sidestep subfamily proteins expressed on peripheral tissues.

The excessive behavioral variability associated with adolescence is the result of greater instability of widespread or global gain signals which produces greater variability in the amplitude of expression of whole-brain states of task-related activity.

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.

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

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

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