Pleiotropic loci that play a role in multiple neuropsychiatric diseases exist, but many of them might contribute to each disease via a distinct mechanism.
Attentional modulation is affected by target-distractor similarity, indicating tuning sharpening as the underlying mechanism for response enhancement during object-based attention.
Co-release of the functionally opposing fast neurotransmitters, glutamate and GABA, from distinct synaptic vesicles within the same supramammillary synaptic terminal modulates dentate granule cell firing in a frequency-dependent manner.
An accurate and efficient biologically plausible statistical model of the spiking activity of neural populations shows computational benefits of homeostatic synaptic scaling in learning large neural population codes.
Gerbils exhibit stable, family-specific vocal dialects over weeks, suggesting vocal communication may play a key role in representing kinship in natural social groups.

A distinct subset of cerebellar nuclei neurons originates from a previously unrecognized germinal zone within the cerebellar primordium, independent of Atoh1 influence, highlighting new cellular origins in cerebellar development.
The important role of structural asymmetry in the functional lateralization of the same brain area provides a crucial insight into the neurobiological fundament for human brain's functional lateralization.
TIM23 core deficiency specifically impacts the oxidative phosphorylation and the mitochondrial ribosome complexes and, unexpectedly, leads to reduction of plasma membrane voltage-dependent potassium channels in neurons.
