The axon initial segment (AIS) is a specialized neuronal subcompartment located at the
beginning of the axon that is crucially involved in both the generation of action potentials and the …

Homeostatic regulation has been shown to restore cortical activity in vivo following sensory
deprivation, but it is unclear whether this recovery is uniform across all cells or specific to a …

Objective Leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated 1 (LGI1) encephalitis is the second most common
antibody‐mediated encephalopathy, but insight into the intrathecal B‐cell autoimmune …

One of the most captivating questions in neuroscience revolves around the brain's ability to
efficiently and durably capture and store information. It must process continuous input from …

Female mammals experience cyclical changes in sexual receptivity known as the estrus
cycle. Little is known about how estrus affects the cortex, although alterations in sensation, …

Aging is associated with functional alterations of synapses thought to contribute to age-dependent
memory impairment (AMI). While therapeutic avenues to protect from AMI are largely …

Endogenous cannabinoids are diffusible lipid ligands of the main cannabinoid receptors
type 1 and 2 (CB 1 R and CB 2 R). In the central nervous system endocannabinoids are …

Highlights • Cortical remapping of receptive fields occurs following peripheral lesions in adult.
• Cortical reorganization has a rapid onset and continues for several weeks to months. • …

The hippocampal formation is crucial for learning and memory, with submodule CA3
thought to be the substrate of pattern completion. However, the underlying synaptic and …

Persistent synapses are thought to underpin the storage of sensory experience, yet little is
known about their structural plasticity in vivo. We investigated how persistent presynaptic …
