Respiratory pauses highlight sleep architecture in mice

The paper shows respiratory pauses distinguish sleep states in mice and reveal sleep architecture through respiration.

Abrogation of presynaptic facilitation at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses impacts neural ensemble activity and spatial memory

This study shows that disrupting presynaptic facilitation at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses reduces CA3 cell co-activity and impairs spatial memory.

An executive center for the intake of liquids

The paper identifies two subcortical nuclei in mammals that organize fluid ingestion movements, showing their role in jaw and tongue control through stimulation and activity recordings.

Changes in presynaptic gene expression during homeostatic compensation at a central synapse

The paper identifies presynaptic gene expression changes in Drosophila during homeostatic compensation after postsynaptic activity suppression, revealing genes involved in synaptic function and stress responses.

Context-dependent signaling of coincident auditory and visual events in primary visual cortex

The paper shows that V1 interneurons suppress auditory signals in the absence of visual input but boost visual responses when auditory and visual stimuli coincide, enabling cross-modal event detection.
