A study that monitored the expression and function of designer receptors called DREADDs in macaque monkeys for a period of three years demonstrates that they are effective in long-term studies of nonhuman primates.
Weaker performance in adolescent mice arises from immature cortical representations and cognitive bias, linking developmental changes in behavior with underlying neural coding.

The pulvinar complex harbors multiple representations of cortico-cortical connectivity organized hierarchically across its ventro-dorsal and medio-lateral axes.
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy and microstructural modelling longitudinally tracks cell-specific cerebellar development to non-invasively monitor, and better understand, early brain microstructure.
Chronic stress impairs the autoinhibition in locus coeruleus neurons by inducing the internalization of α2A adrenaline receptors, which causes their overexcitation and consequently induces their degeneration by producing active asparagine endopeptidase.
Introducing premature visual experience by opening the closed eyelids early in ferrets caused many cells in the primary visual cortex to mature improperly.
