The fine-tuning of mutual inhibition and disinhibition of sleep-regulating neurons and also the memory consolidation that occurs during NREM sleep are controlled by oscillations in serotonin levels.

Foveal sensitivity to the features of an imminent saccade target increases with the target’s conspicuity, supporting foveal prediction as a viable mechanism for maintaining visual continuity in high-contrast, naturalistic environments.

The dopamine receptor Dop1R2 plays a crucial role in the formation of longer-lasting memories, while it is dispensable for short-term memories.

Leucokinin neurons integrate sweet and bitter taste inputs with starvation signals to regulate feeding initiation, balancing nutrient intake against the risk of toxin ingestion.

Humans estimate different forms of uncertainty during learning, but do so imprecisely, leading to the misattribution of random fluctuations as fundamental shifts.

The neuropeptide galanin modulates whole-brain activity and stress responses in zebrafish, revealing a complex, receptor-dependent role in seizure regulation with implications for epilepsy, and related neurological disorders.

A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

Parasitic tapeworm larvae release glutamate and other excitatory molecules that can directly excite brain neurons.

A new computational model improves estimation of Granger connectivity by removing spurious effects of external inputs, and estimation of linear encoding models by removing spurious effects of recurrent connections.

Mechanistic modeling with low-rank recurrent networks uncovers the relationship between network connectivity, neural dynamics, and selection modulation mechanisms in context-dependent computation.
