The paper investigates how spontaneous activity guides the development of multisensory integration in the developing higher-order cortex by establishing co-aligned topographic projections.

This study investigates how spontaneous activity patterns in the developing mouse visual cortex contribute to network connectivity through distinct plasticity rules, showing local events shape selectivity and global events regulate connection strength.

The paper shows that hungry Drosophila use a neural circuit involving dopamine and octopamine to balance perseverance and withdrawal during food seeking.
