There is significant information about continuous 3D tongue direction contained in the primate orofacial sensorimotor cortex during untrained tasks, and alterations to tongue kinematics and directional tuning with temporarily induced sensory loss.
A modified rabies-based circuit-mapping strategy combined with physiology, optogenetics, and behavior identifies asymmetric corticostriatal subcircuits that exert distinct control over actions.

Loss of RTN4RL2 disrupts synapse formation and function between inner hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons, leading to elevated auditory thresholds and highlighting its critical role in hearing.
A novel connectomics approach reveals synaptic connectivity differences between narrowly and broadly tuned olfactory glomeruli in Drosophila melanogaster, providing new insights into glomerular circuitry and its putative computational roles.
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.
