The first demonstration that a protein thought to function presynaptically (Rab3a) is required for homeostatic, activity-dependent synaptic plasticity of quantal size in central neurons.
A study that monitored the expression and function of designer receptors called DREADDs in macaque monkeys for a period of three years demonstrates that they are effective in long-term studies of nonhuman primates.
Weaker performance in adolescent mice arises from immature cortical representations and cognitive bias, linking developmental changes in behavior with underlying neural coding.
