This valuable study investigates the neural basis of bidirectional communication between the cortex and hippocampus during learning. The evidence supporting the identification of specific circuits and ...

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...

This study provides compelling evidence that action potential (AP) broadening is not a universal feature of homeostatic plasticity in response to chronic activity deprivation. By leveraging ...

The Drosophila microbiome regulates the cycling of gut metabolites in a circadian clock and diet-dependent manner.

This important study introduces a Bayesian method to determine bacterial counts that accounts for the experimental noise inherent to dilution and plating methods, and distinguishes it from biological ...

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

Malaria merozoite surface proteins (MSPs), are thought to have important roles in red blood cell (RBC) invasion and their exposure on the parasite surface makes them attractive vaccine candidates.

This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

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 ...

Here, we address this question further by combining large-scale electrophysiological recordings, to characterize the functional connectivity of developing neuronal networks in vitro, with a generative ...

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.
