Hippocampus-dependent contextual memory and striatum-dependent reinforcement memory independently guide visual attention in humans.

Synaptotagmin 7 is shown to be the calcium sensor that regulates synaptic facilitation by altering the probability of synaptic vesicle release.

Long-range GABAergic projections from the entorhinal cortex to CA1 of the hippocampus suppress feedforward inhibition to allow Schaffer collateral inputs to potentiate CA1 pyramidal neuron responses.

In mice, an early ablation of myelinating oligodendrocytes can trigger a secondary, CD4⁺T cell-associated demyelination 30 weeks later, suggesting a possible mechanism for the onset of demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

A new study shows that the transient manipulation of neural activity can sometimes have 'off-target' effects, making it challenging to determine the specific neural circuit that generates a particular behaviour.
