Experiments at synapses between nerve and muscle cells in genetically modified fruit flies reveal how neurons compensate for perturbations that would otherwise cause excessive synaptic transmission.

Sensory neurons that monitor ambient oxygen control a cascade of responses across multiple layers of interneurons to switch the global state of the nematode C. elegans, reprogramming behavior and gene expression to enable escape from or adaptation to surface exposure.

Complex properties of space-sensitive auditory neurons in cats mirror the complexity of acoustical environments.

Serine and threonine phosphorylation sites work in concert to provide rapid and reproducible desensitization of the G-protein coupled receptor rhodopsin.

Targeting Abelson kinase can be beneficial for treating disorders characterized by dysregulated Down Syndrome Cell Adhesion Molecule signaling.

Otic epithelial Fibroblast Growth Factors control the number of cochlear sensory progenitor cells through an FGF responsive periotic mesenchyme.

The Sac1 phosphatase domain, rather than the proline-rich domain, plays an essential role in synaptojanin activity during endocytosis.

During the second postnatal week, a temporary circuit made up of specific types of neurons plus the precursors of oligodendrocytes is established in the brain, and may promote the maturation of oligodendrocytes in preparation for myelination.

The protein-lipid modification palmitoylation targets the kinase LIMK1 to dendritic spines to ensure precise control of the size of individual spines in response to synaptic activation.

The location of neurons responsible for increasing the breathing rate upon detecting elevated levels of CO₂ in the blood has been pinpointed to the retrotrapezoid nucleus in the brainstem.
