Two studies use single-nucleus multiomic sequencing to profile molecular and cellular dysfunction in the prenatal and earl...
Linking the exposome to the brain–behaviour phenotype
Linking the exposome to the brain–behaviour phenotype
A range of environmental, lifestyle and biological exposures across the lifespan — varying in timing, duration and i...
Neural basis of social hierarchy across species
Neural basis of social hierarchy across species
A social hierarchy is an ordered ranking of individuals that arises through their interactions and governs relative access...
Metabolic vulnerability and tau pathology in combination drive necroptosis
Neuronal loss in a mouse model of Alzheimer disease occurs through necroptosis and is shown to be dependent on low-glucose...
When inhibition organizes the brain
In this Journal Club, Renata Batista-Brito discusses a 2009 study that showed that a population of inhibitory hub neurons ...
Resolving rapid cell-surface proteome remodelling in intact neural circuits
In this Tools of the Trade article, Colleen McLaughlin describes endocytome profiling, a systematic and quantitative appro...
The short and long pathways to memory
Inhibition of CaMKII blocks short-term memory but not long-term memory of inhibitory avoidance in mice.
Human hippocampal circuit characterization
A new study reveals distinct circuit features of the human hippocampal CA3 region.
Pathways to sex preferences
A study explores the sexually dimorphic circuits that regulate sociosexual preferences in mice.
Early spinal cord development: from neural tube formation to neurogenesis
Early spinal cord development: from neural tube formation to neurogenesis
As one of the simplest and most evolutionarily conserved parts of the vertebrate nervous system, the spinal cord serves as...
Lipid metabolism, remodelling and intercellular transfer in the CNS
Lipid metabolism, remodelling and intercellular transfer in the CNS
Lipid metabolism encompasses the catabolism and anabolism of lipids, and is fundamental for the maintenance of cellular ho...
Three systems of circuit formation: assembly, updating and tuning
Three systems of circuit formation: assembly, updating and tuning
Understanding the relationship between genotype and neuronal circuit phenotype necessitates an integrated view of genetics...
Sensory cortex quashes subcortical escape instinct
A modified looming paradigm teases apart how top-down cortical inputs from visual areas can override instinctive fear resp...

A possible mechanism underlying the worsening of asthma symptoms after eating is found in mice, where type 2 immunity in t...
Preparing for motherhood
In mice, specific pools of adult neural stem cells are recruited during pregnancy to support postpartum maternal behaviour.
The neurobiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection
The neurobiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection
Worldwide, over 694 million people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, with an estimated 55–60% of those infected de...

The past decade of progress in neurobiology has uncovered important organizational principles for network preconfiguration...
Sleep and circadian rhythmicity as entangled processes serving homeostasis
Sleep and circadian rhythmicity as entangled processes serving homeostasis
Sleep is considered essential for the brain and body. A predominant concept is that sleep is regulated by circadian rhythm...
