A modelling-based analysis reveals a novel type of selectivity for chromatic contrast in a mouse retinal ganglion cell type, and experimental evidence shows that this feature makes this cell type well suited for detecting behaviourally relevant changes in visual context.

A new imaging tool to record γ-secretase activity in vivo.

I-Spin enables researchers to decode motor unit firings from surface and intramuscular electromyographic signals in real time.

Sensations arising from internal organs like the heart can affect how the brain decides between two mutually incompatible perceptions of the same visual stimulus.

The neurotransmitter dopamine helps form long-term memories by increasing the production of proteins through a unique signaling pathway.

Information exchange between the sensory cortex (hMT+) and cognition core (BA46), coupled with hMT+ GABA levels, predicts performance in 3D visuo-spatial ability.

Changes in neural activity thought to reflect brain aging may be partly influenced by age-dependent signals ‘leaking’ from the heart.

A complex extracted from the amniotic membrane in humans reduces post-surgical pain in mice by directly inhibiting pain-sensing neurons.

Sphinganine-1-phosphate (SA1P) is linked to paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy, offering a potential target for reducing this severe side effect of paclitaxel treatment.

Cortices from 11 primate species share the same archetypal fractal shape, indicating a universal mechanism for primate and mammalian cortical folding, and suggesting novel shape biomarkers for brains.
