The thermosensory neuron AFD unexpectedly modulates locomotion based on tactile experience through molecular and circuit mechanisms distinct from those underlying thermosensation.

This important study probes the long-standing failure to resolve evolutionary relationships between the classical "spiralian" taxa - i.e., annelids, molluscs, brachiopods, platyhelminths and ...

Apparent neural encoding of future words may arise from the statistical structure of language itself, rather than from predictive computations in the brain.

Distinct cerebellar projections to the forebrain differentially support acquisition and offline consolidation of a motor skill engaging cerebello-striato-cortical circuits, revealing the temporal and ...

This is a useful study that seeks to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal motor circuit assembly. The authors demonstrate that loss of Onecut transcription factors in spinal motor ...

This valuable study addressed a key question in epilepsy research: whether the recordings of very fast oscillations in the brain (>250Hz, fast ripples) reflect underlying pathology or might be a ...

Modality-agnostic decoders leverage modality-invariant representations in human subjects' brain activity to predict stimuli irrespective of their modality (image, text, mental imagery).

Methodology that is not complete, as well as discrepancies regarding the proposed mode of action of lipoxin A4, are significant weaknesses.

New findings suggest sideways walking in crabs is a rare but innovative trait originating from a common ancestor, and provide a framework for understanding how animal locomotion diversifies and ...

Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, the authors map transcriptional changes in the rat ventral tegmental area following chronic inflammatory pain and acute morphine exposure. Notably, their ...

Graph theory and computational modeling reveal that neural network architecture biases the male Caenorhabditis elegans brain toward prioritized sexual behaviors.

A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.
