Noradrenergic receptors can control the spontaneous electrical firing of neurons by inhibiting a Na⁺ channel known as NALCN using a pathway shared by metabotropic GABA receptors.

Silencing long-descending propriospinal neurons that connect C6 to L2 disrupts right-left alternation of both the forelimbs and hindlimbs in the intact animal, but leads to improved stepping after a mild-moderate thoracic contusion spinal cord injury.

MRI is sensitive to the increase in axonal caliber due to pathology and was used to detect widespread increase in the average axonal caliber in multiple sclerosis brains with short disease duration only.

Neurodevelopmental critical periods act to integrate activity to encode homeostatic set points that remain fixed thereafter.

Chandelier cells in primary visual cortex show experience-dependent plasticity, respond strongly to behaviorally relevant stimuli and only weakly inhibit pyramidal cells.
