Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C during fever.

Developmentally-based directed differentiation from cortical progenitors sets a foundation for in vitro mechanistic and therapeutic disease modeling, and toward regenerative neuronal repopulation and circuit repair.
Deep behavioral phenotyping reveals that performance readouts from single-valence conditioning are biased by baseline sex differences in exploration, and mixed-valence conditioning provides a clearer assessment of learning in both sexes.
A computational model of the striatal dopamine system predicts transporter expression and organisation as key determinants of regional striatal dopamine dynamics and distinct signal decoding by D1 and D2 receptors.
Low-level features of peripheral saccade targets are fed back to early foveal retinotopic cortex in a signal that resembles activation elicited by direct foveal presentation.
