Memantine selectively improves neural decoding of attended illusory contours, revealing NMDA receptor-dependent enhancement of feedback processing in human visual perception.
Subcellular sequestration of caspase near membrane-associated proteins enables its non-lethal activation, which modulates neuronal function and innate olfactory behavior in the adult Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons.
A novel virtual reality-based contextual fear conditioning paradigm for head-fixed mice that elicits robust freezing behavior and enables multiphoton imaging of neural circuits underlying learning, memory, and fear.
A longitudinal, deep learning approach reveals challenges and opportunities in establishing brain age as an effective metric of aging, with particular consideration given to underrepresented populations in Asia.
Individuals with a late circadian rhythm show the same deficits in motivational decision-making as those with neuropsychiatric symptoms, but only when tested in the morning.
A neurogenetic approach reveals the cellular division of labor between individual Drosophila larval dopaminergic neurons encoding an averive teaching signal, reflecting principles in the adult insect and vertebrate brain.
Advanced electron microscopy techniques have been applied to comprehensively describe the cellular details and ultrastructural characteristics of all sensilla within the external sensory system of Drosophila larvae.
