John McCutcheon and colleagues show that, in some cicada species, a three-way symbiosis involving one insect and two bacterial symbionts has resulted in a four-way assemblage through an unusual bacter...
Thalamic Mechanism of Parkinson Disease. Hyper-inhibition of thalamic neurons by the basal ganglia inputs has been proposed as a mechanism for Parkinson's disease. This study shows that rebound firing...
In this study, Muto et al. visualized brain activity of a zebrafish larva while it visually perceived a swimming paramecium. This study demonstrates that the visual world is indeed mapped onto a part ...
Pericyte Control of Neurovascular Function - Pericytes are known to play a key role in the development of cerebral microcirculation but their function in the adult brain and during aging is not clear....
Node Assembly & Maintenance - How do nodes of Ranvier assemble? Jim Salzer and colleagues find that node assembly is initiated by redistribution of mobile, surface pools of axonal adhesion molecul...
Michael Halassa and colleagues describe how brain circuits can shift between processing information from two distinct sources: external stimuli and internally generated constructs....
PARP around the Clock - Circadian rhythms are entrained with feeding schedules. Watch as Gad Asher takes you on a brief, personally guided tour of his discovery that nutrient intake regulates the osci...
