Understanding and reasoning about the physical world rely on a specific brain network, in which the area PF of the left inferior parietal lobe plays a central role.

Fruit flies detect cholesterol through ionotropic receptors in taste, leading to active avoidance despite dietary necessity.

Future prosocial acts can be forecasted from stable biological differences in how people perceive others' merit, pointing to novel strategies to reduce favoritism and discrimination in social situations.

Mice lacking two neuropeptides thought to be essential for processing pain show no change in how they respond to a wide range of harmful stimuli.

Putative markers of VTA interneurons label VTA projection neurons, and VTA projection neurons make intra-VTA synapses, suggesting VTA projection neurons may mediate functions prior attributed to interneurons.

Orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus reinstate representations of causal choices to associate with delayed outcomes, and the frontal pole supports this credit assignment process by maintaining pending choices during interim decisions.

A comparative study of Purkinje dendrite morphology, input arrangement, and regional subtype distribution shows human cells evade constraint by cortical thickness to be both quantitatively and qualitatively distinct from mouse.

In the mammalian auditory brainstem, inhibitory inputs onto octopus cell dendrites enhance coincidence detection computations and support precise yet flexible temporal processing for rapid sound onsets and frequency modulations.

The neuromodulatory effects of cerebellar tDCS depend on Purkinje cell somatodendritic orientation relative to the electric field, revealing a key factor for optimizing stimulation protocols and computational models.
