Chronic perturbations of spiking activity trigger compensatory changes in GABAergic synaptic strength, but not compensatory changes in AMPAergic synaptic strength.

Reward and punishment learning is represented in partly overlapping regions of the brain while relying on specific intra- and inter-regional interactions.

Dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus have distinct electrical and morphological properties, which are differentially altered following dopamine and noradrenaline depletion.

A detailed physiological characterization of inputs to the motor thalamus adds nuance to the notion that information from the cerebellum and basal ganglia are segregated and provides a mechanism by which the basal ganglia can gate communication between cortical areas.

Neuron-specific sequencing of aged wild-type, daf-2, and daf-16;daf-2 mutants revealed transcriptomic changes with age, and in longevity mutants, putative neuroprotective genes are upregulated, which are required for prolonged cognitive functions.
