The photoreceptor tetraspanin protein ROM1 contributes to the formation of light-sensitive 'disc' membranes, but it can be functionally replaced by an excess of its homologous binding partner PRPH2.

Functional ultrasound imaging was used to monitor brain hemodynamics and sensory-evoked thalamocortical functions in awake rats pre- and post-stroke, advancing our understanding toward new therapeutic developments.

A critical re-evaluation of some of the quintessential examples given as evidence for cortical reorganisation argues that, contrary to the prevalent view, any opportunities for functional change in cortical organisation are incremental and constrained by the underlying structural ‘blueprint'.

Four types of declarative memory rely on different weightings of similar component processes, according to fMRI and subjective ratings.

Single-cell transcriptomics of larval zebrafish spinal cord reveal ion channels and exocytotic machinery that enhance transmitter release in neuronal types shown to mediate high-speed swimming and escape behavior.

Deciding which of two perceptual decisions is more difficult involves sequential sampling processes that terminate when the difference in accumulated evidence for each decision exceeds a threshold.

The pre-Bötzinger complex, known as the kernel for the breathing generation, consists of separate subpopulations of neurons that project to specific nuclei to coordinate respiratory rhythmicity with different physiological behaviors, such as nasofacial activity.
