The paper examines the preservation of anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) topography in treatment-resistant psychiatric patients, finding it consistent with healthy and preclinical patterns.

The paper examines how astrocyte coverage of synapses in the ferret visual cortex correlates with synaptic structure and function, finding strong relationships between coverage and synaptic size, complexity, and functional properties.

The paper examines the positioning of mitochondria relative to dendritic spines in ferret visual cortex, finding no correlation with synaptic strength but instead suggesting a role in supporting diverse functional inputs.

The paper investigates how binocular synaptic networks in visual cortical neurons contribute to interocular response alignment through functional and structural analysis.

The paper challenges the Hebbian plasticity model by showing that cortical neuron selectivity arises from the total number of synapses, not strong individual inputs.
