The enhanced taste and flavor of food induced by the addition of L-ornithine, referred to as 'kokumi' in humans, may be mediated by GPRC6A receptors expressed in taste cells.

When performance is matched, the attentional blink allows for greater integration of complex stimulus features than masking, reflecting spared recurrent processing during attentional versus perceptual impairments of conscious access.

Even the smallest compound eyes retain the functional specialization of ommatidia.

Target motion modulates monkey M1 neural dynamics during reaching, characterized by an orbital neural geometry composed of target-velocity-dependent tilting rings, suggesting that sensory information can be independently incorporated during motor generation.

In recurrently connected cortical networks with different inhibitory neuron subtypes, circuit modulations can increase neuronal gain without compromising network stability.

Phosphoproteomics identifies diverse CaM kinase substrates, while genetic dissection reveals an unexpected antagonistic interaction with calcineurin signaling that operates in distinct neurons to regulate thermo-nociception in Caenorhabditis elegans.

During aging, microglia progress through intermediate cellular states, including stress response and translation upregulation states, that modulate subsequent activation and impact cognitive decline.

Place cells that show repeating place fields in geometrically similar locations of an environment modulate their firing rates differently in each field based on movement direction.
