A computational model shows how synaptic plasticity shapes spontaneous activity to encode the transition statistics of sensory experience.

A temporally stable and cell-type-specific genetic driver library provides the means to access and manipulate neuronal lineages in the fly nervous system during development and adulthood.

Caspase-3 activation links synapse weakening to synapse elimination.

A dynamic DNA methylation 'barcode' on the X chromosome can distinguish thousands of individual adult male neurons and may record aspects of their development.

Heterozygosity for Trio variants leads to overlapping but distinct impacts on behavior, neuronal structure, and synaptic transmission, including newly characterized defects in presynaptic function.

Experiments in mice reveal how three rare mutations in a gene called TRIO can lead to different neurodevelopmental outcomes.

In male mandarin voles, D1 and D2 medium spiny neurons within the nucleus accumbens shell exert distinct influences on pair bond formation.

A new model of how the brain's circuits compute uncertainty and use it during learning by modulating prediction error responses.

During reaching in mice, forelimb premotor cortex has a stronger influence on primary motor cortex than vice versa, but several functional connectivity measures fail to reflect this asymmetry.

Beta synchrony between motor cortex and the subthalamic nucleus is intensified when instructional cues within a continuous motor sequence become less predictable, calling for more cautious behavior.
