Transient intrinsic properties of young neurons enable fast learning and support memory stability as the neurons mature, offering a coherent view of the function of adult neurogenesis in olfaction.
Development of robotic device for pain and somatosensory assays in rodents allows remote, quantitative, and reproducible delivery of mechanical stimuli.
The first demonstration that a protein thought to function presynaptically (Rab3a) is required for homeostatic, activity-dependent synaptic plasticity of quantal size in central neurons.
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.
