Humans optimize effort expenditure even at the level of eye movements by choosing affordable eye movements over costly alternatives and adjusting gaze behavior based on task demands.

RIM-Deep enhances imaging depth in confocal microscopy enabling high-quality visualization of large cleared samples across various fields with minimal cost.

Cadherin-6 (Cdh6) marks gut-intrinsic sensory neurons, and optogenetic activation of Cdh6+ sensory neurons is sufficient to evoke colonic motor complexes.

Action potentials of neurons expel a charge when they reach the axon terminal, and classical electrodynamics predict the resulting electric fields and its influence to other neurons by ephaptic coupling.

Visual adaptation in humans revealed that the perception of causality was tuned to the direction of motion while the adaptation transferred across different motion speeds and colors.

A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for cholinergic modulation in dopaminergic neuron health.

Rhythmic release of serotonin organizes infraslow oscillatory activity of the dentate gyrus during sleep.

By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

Rab10 deficiency unexpectedly inhibits neuropeptide secretion through two distinct effects on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), disrupting ER-regulated intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics and impairing protein synthesis.
