Parvalbumin-containing inhibitory neurons are crucial for expression of plasticity in adult visual cortex that supports visual recognition memory, but not for expression of ocular dominance plasticity that results from monocular deprivation.

A genetic mutation that impairs autophagic flux leads to neurodegeneration and can cause ataxia and developmental delay in children.

Molecular engineering can generate light-sensitive NMDA receptors with specific subunit combinations.

A dimensional approach to psychiatry demonstrates the specificity and generalizability of a neurocognitive marker of compulsive behavior and intrusive thought via large-scale online testing.

Vulnerability to cocaine addiction during adolescence depends on translational control.

An evolutionarily conserved mechanism involving translational control by p-eIF2α underlies vulnerability to nicotine addiction.

The human brain encodes coordinated patterns of joint movements – synergies – to increase the efficiency with which it can control complex hand movements.

A combination of tethered diffusion of release-ready synaptic vesicles and vesicle-vesicle fusion supports neurotransmitter release at the presynaptic active zone of sensory synapses.
