Microglia contribute to the propagation of tau between brain regions in mice, by phagocytosis and release of the protein.

A top-down pathway from the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex regulates the retrieval of recent fear memories in the hippocampus.

Inhibition of GLI1 promotes the endogenous response to demyelination, including the recruitment and differentiation of neural stem cells.

Leptin promotes the activity of sympathetic neurons that directly innervate WAT and regulate local lipolysis.

Neural activity may dynamically tune the properties of a group of fast-spiking interneurons in the adult mouse cortex through a transcription-mediated mechanism.

The cortical distribution of Cajal–Retzius cells is regulated by the vesicular trafficking protein VAMP3 and contributes to the specification of higher-order cortical areas.

Parental care of offspring involves a complex array of innate behaviours and is influenced by a dopaminergic circuit within the hypothalamus that regulates circulating oxytocin levels.

A derivative of a glial membrane phospholipid has a crucial role in nociceptive-axon guidance in the spinal cord of chicks and mice.

Studies reveal a gradient in the functional properties of neurons along the transverse axis of hippocampal CA3 and their likely contribution to pattern separation and pattern completion.

State-dependent fear conditioning can be induced by activation of hippocampal extrasynaptic GABA_Areceptors and is regulated by protein kinase CβII activity and microRNA-33 signalling.
