The reward signal dopamine modulates synaptic plasticity by increasing protein synthesis, revealing a potential molecular mechanism for long-term memory storage.

Genetic and lineage-tracing analyses reveal that neuropil-associated glia can directly transdifferentiate into neurons in the adultcentral nervous system (CNS) after injury, uncovering a previously unrecognised mechanism for CNS regeneration.

UNC-6/Netrin functions both as a short-range adhesive cue and a gradient to guide axons in vivo.

Multi-dimensional social relationships dynamically shape attentional biases toward in-group and out-group conspecifics in monkeys, with oxytocin modulating these interactions to reveal neurobiological links between social networks and visual information processing.

The ThermoMaze behavioral paradigm enables the collection of extensive physiological data while animals remain at distinct experimenter-controlled locations during rest.

The nucleus reuniens of the thalamus play a central role in synchronizing the mPFC-hippocampal network during sleep and integrates converging activity from hippocampal and mPFC oscillations.

The visual system of infants has adult-like properties, and these properties can be revealed at an individual level by having infants watch movies during functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Phasic dopamine cell body activity and release in the nucleus accumbens differentially respond to the taste of sucrose in correlation with its hedonic valuation.

Inhibitory neurons in the female medial preoptic area show persistent activity in response to male ejaculation, and their reactivation is sufficient to suppress female sexual motivation.
