Molecular genetics identifies a novel microglial pathway essential for mouse brain development and a previously unknown anti-inflammatory activity of monomeric amyloid β that activates this pathway.
The visually deprived brain processes sensory letter information in tactile areas but perceptual letter information in sighted reading areas, revealing experience-dependent brain plasticity.

A collaboratively developed annotated reading list expands upon core themes in neurodiversity, aiming to enhance understanding and to promote rigorous, destigmatizing, and inclusive practices in research.
Multi-dendritic cibarium neurons in the fly pharynx sense mechanical force during swallowing by NOMPC, piezo, and Tmc, besides, these neurons interact with motor neurons to control food swallow.

High-fat ingestion triggers microglial metabolic activation within a single feeding cycle, and enhances whole-body metabolism and memory by converting fatty acids into protective substrates for surrounding neurons.
Aging reduces the potassium M current in sympathetic motor neurons, resulting in a hyperactive phenotype that can be reversed by pharmacological activation of these channels.
