Nerve tracing and behavioral studies in tumor-bearing mice together with transcriptional and functional analysis reveal cancer-induced central and peripheral neuronal alterations that influence behavior.

Analysis of neonatal response reveals that at 37 weeks gestational age, infants exhibit a marked developmental shift in their ability to perceive emotional vocal prosody, highlighting a critical period for social emotional development with potential implications for early neurodevelopmental assessments.

Ciliated zooplankton larvae sense pressure by ciliary photoreceptor cells, which increase the beating of locomotor cilia via a serotonergic motor circuit leading to rapid upward swimming during barotaxis.

The gene-regulatory enhancers h56D and S5E2 restrict transgene expression to GABAergic and parvalbumin-positive interneurons, respectively, across marmoset cortical layers, thus representing a promising tool for circuit dissection in non-human primates.

In vivo analysis of endogenously tagged Ca²⁺ channel subunits reveals unexpected differences in subunit composition and synapse-specific relationships between channel abundance and synaptic strength.

Unexpected complexity in the synaptic basis of locomotor rhythmogenesis is linked to cell type and speed in larval zebrafish.

DNL343, a brain-penetrant integrated stress response inhibitor, reduces neurodegeneration in mouse models and identifies biomarker candidates for assessing treatment responses in clinical settings.

Synaptic glutamate release is potentiated by short metabolic failure whereas longer durations of energy depletion lead to a postsynaptic failure of synaptic transmission.

Vglut2-based glutamatergic signaling in central noradrenergic neurons is dispensable for baseline breathing and hypercapnic, hypoxic chemosensory reflexes, which challenges the current understanding of central noradrenergic neurons in breathing control.
