Global phosphoproteomic analysis in nerve terminal during exocytosis reveals 252 uniquely regulated phosphosites, highlighting complex regulation of active zone proteins at multiple sites and the role of specific kinases/phosphatases.

Turning in an insect is the combined result of body-side-specific modifications in processing of local sensory feedback, and modification of local central pattern generator activity.

Neuronal progenitor cells autonomously inhibit polarization via the transcription factor Zeb1.

The signaling lipid PI(3,5)P₂ supports the formation of the myelin sheath, by regulating trafficking of myelin building blocks within oligodendrocytes and communication between oligodendrocytes and neuronal axons.

A new data analysis tool provides a concise way of visualizing neural data that summarizes all the relevant features of the population response in a single figure.

In monkeys, the integrity of the magnocellular subdivision of mediodorsal thalamus is important when using recent rewarded choices to promote persistence with a recently sampled choice during changing or uncertain reward guided-learning and decision-making tasks.

Pharmacological fMRI reveals that associative connections contribute to odor categorization by supporting discrimination and generalization at different stages of the human olfactory system.

Building on previous work (Vogt et al. 2014), separate visual pathways have been identified to convey information for brightness and color to the learning-related area of the Drosophila brain.

Building on previous work (Kessler et al., 2015), it is shown that long-tongued hawkmoths assess individual flowers by smelling floral odors with olfactory neurons on their proboscises, and that this close-range perception is crucial for successful pollination and foraging.

The paradoxical spatial suppression of visual motion perception can result from a trade-off between sensitivity and noise in sensory neuron populations.
