Continuous flash suppression reduces V1 orientation responses in an ocular-dominance-dependent manner, which may still allow low-level coarse orientation discrimination but provide insufficient information for higher-level visual and cognitive tasks.

Contrary to prior work, principal axes of structural and functional connectivity are established early in life, remaining stable and undergoing refinement throughout development.
Allocating space, materials and energy to an eye's optics and photoreceptor array is a major factor in eye design that explains obvious differences between simple eyes and compound eyes.
A conserved neuropeptidergic circuit directly links internal glucose levels to sweet taste sensitivity, providing a central mechanism for coupling metabolic state to feeding behavior.

Human stem cell-derived adherent cortical organoids in 384-well plates provide a reproducible, long-term cortical organoid platform with neurons, glia, and robust network activity, enabling scalable disease modeling and therapeutic screening.

In aging gerbils, compromised temporal fine structure perception is explained by a more prominent representation in auditory nerve fibers of temporal fluctuations of the signal envelope, rather than by synaptopathy.
