Orexin neurons precisely track body movement across behavioral and metabolic states, revealing a neural mechanism that links motor activity to arousal and energy resources.

Reinforcement motor learning of probabilistic tasks shows a protracted developmental trajectory in childhood due to high motor noise and low exploration, though performance deficits can be ameliorated in younger children by reducing task demands in spatial processing and probabilistic reasoning.

Thermal imaging, computer vision tools, and an open-source algorithm incorporating a transformer-based video classifier are combined to automatically detect and classify urine and fecal deposits made by male and female mice and their spatio-temporal dynamics during behavioral tests.

The complete synaptic connectome and the comprehensive annotation of all cell types based on a whole-body electron microscopy volume of an annelid larva.

A digital atlas of every cell in a developing marine worm reveals how networks across the body coordinate sensing and movement, and provides insights into the evolution of the nervous system.

Evaluation of semilunar granule cell involvement in dentate gyrus contextual memory processing supports recruitment based on intrinsic and input characteristics while revealing limited contribution to ensemble refinement.
