The dorsal striatum, with its functional microcircuits galore, serves as the primary gateway of
the basal ganglia and is known to play a key role in implicit learning. Initially, excitatory …

The Mauthner-cell (M-cell) system of teleost fish has a long history as an experimental
model for addressing a wide range of neurobiological questions. Principles derived from …

An adaptive transition from exploring the environment in search of vital resources to
exploiting these resources once the search was successful is important to all animals. Here …

Cortical oscillations are thought to be involved in many cognitive functions and processes.
Several mechanisms have been proposed to regulate oscillations. One prominent but …

Animals constantly make behavioral choices to facilitate moving efficiently through their
environment. When faced with a threat, animals make decisions in the midst of other …

Functional plasticity of neuronal gap junctions involves the interaction of the neuronal
connexin36 with calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII). The important …

The Large Cell (LC) motor neurons of the crab cardiac ganglion have variable membrane
conductance magnitudes even within the same individual, yet produce identical …

Key points Electrical synapses are modified by various forms of activity, including paired
activity in coupled neurons and tetanization of the input to coupled neurons. We show that …

As information about the world traverses the brain, the signals exchanged between neurons
are passed and modulated by synapses, or specialized contacts between neurons. While …

Larval zebrafish behavior profiling provides a rapid and accessible method to gather data on
diverse behaviors with relevance to human health, but analyzing and quantifying this …
