The auditory cortex temporarily stores task-relevant information by persistently changed neuronal activity of single neurons and of neuronal populations.

Visual, parietal, and frontal motor cortices play distinct and necessary roles in mapping sensory features to future motor action.

Recordings in freely-moving rats show that hippocampal dorsal CA1 pyramidal cells signal only spatial information, even in a non-spatial task such as trace eyeblink conditioning.

The neural mechanisms that underlie the maintenance of social bonds between prairie voles suggest that social support networks may be a powerful way of treating addiction.

Structural flexibility of the synaptobrevin-2 transmembrane domain promotes membrane fusion.

Distinct lateral inhibitory circuits affect spiking in olfactory bulb mitral and tufted cells differently, which ultimately allows each cell type to best discriminate between similar odors in separate concentration ranges.

Parvalbumin-positive inhibitory neurons in the cortex have insulating myelin sheathes, despite forming only short-range connections.

The basal ganglia may preferentially influence movements based on internal goals rather than those guided by external stimuli.

IL-1β release from macrophages might be responsible for the unexplained cone segment loss in retinal degenerative diseases that are associated with subretinal inflammation, such as retinitis pigmentosa or geographic atrophy.
