Chandelier cells in primary visual cortex show experience-dependent plasticity, respond strongly to behaviorally relevant stimuli and only weakly inhibit pyramidal cells.

MRI is sensitive to the increase in axonal caliber due to pathology and was used to detect widespread increase in the average axonal caliber in multiple sclerosis brains with short disease duration only.

Neurodevelopmental critical periods act to integrate activity to encode homeostatic set points that remain fixed thereafter.

Counting the number of synaptic vesicles released in simple synapses under high release probability conditions revealed a maximum readily releasable pool size of two vesicles per docking site.

Participants under acute stress were less willing to exert a relatively low level of physical effort for actions that benefit another person compared to actions that benefit themselves.

Loss of functional dystroglycan disrupts the formation and function of CCK⁺/CB₁R⁺ inhibitory synapses in hippocampal CA1, resulting in reduced seizure thresholds in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy.

A new device improves the way scientists can record the activity of motor units in a wide range of animals and settings.
