The fine-tuning of mutual inhibition and disinhibition of sleep-regulating neurons and also the memory consolidation that occurs during NREM sleep are controlled by oscillations in serotonin levels.

Foveal sensitivity to the features of an imminent saccade target increases with the target’s conspicuity, supporting foveal prediction as a viable mechanism for maintaining visual continuity in high-contrast, naturalistic environments.

Leucokinin neurons integrate sweet and bitter taste inputs with starvation signals to regulate feeding initiation, balancing nutrient intake against the risk of toxin ingestion.

The dopamine receptor Dop1R2 plays a crucial role in the formation of longer-lasting memories, while it is dispensable for short-term memories.

Humans estimate different forms of uncertainty during learning, but do so imprecisely, leading to the misattribution of random fluctuations as fundamental shifts.

Parasitic tapeworm larvae release glutamate and other excitatory molecules that can directly excite brain neurons.

A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

The neuropeptide galanin modulates whole-brain activity and stress responses in zebrafish, revealing a complex, receptor-dependent role in seizure regulation with implications for epilepsy, and related neurological disorders.

Magnetic resonance imaging, through its sensitivity to ionic environments that modulate membrane potential, enables noninvasive assessment of biological systems.

A new framework for exploring the mechanisms underlying learning in cortical microcircuits is established.
