A conceptually simple algorithm can analyze previously uncharacterized 2D coiled postures of the nematode C. elegans and has uncovered new reorientation behaviors in large amplitude turns.

Introducing a hominoid-specific gene into mice induces cortical folding.

Whole-brain mapping of the basal forebrain circuits reveals a connection diagram with highly convergent inputs and divergent outputs.

AMP-activated protein kinase directly coordinates glutamatergic signalling during starvation in C. elegans.

Cross-modal stimuli are represented in the primary gustatory cortex according to their sensory identity, associability and predictive value.

Neural networks like the crustacean cardiac ganglion employ multi-faceted compensatory mechanisms to achieve the stability and robustness that are critical to long-term function.

Signals conveyed from two different senses from a given point in space converge onto the same neurons of the optic tectum that trigger the gaze-control-system, and at the same time inhibit other parts of the tectal motor map.

Mammalian Dscams require different intracellular interactions in different cell types during neural circuit formation to promote self-avoidance.

Hydrodynamic and steric interactions slow vesicle mobility and are predicted to ultimately limit vesicle supply to the active zone during sustained high-frequency signalling at a central synapse.

A spatially-tuned normalization model accounts for neuronal responses to attended or unattended stimuli that are presented inside the classical receptive field or the surround, and explains various other observations.
