Body movement does not significantly increase neuronal activity in the primary visual cortex of marmosets, in contrast to the effects observed in mice.
Abnormal activity in the cerebellar nuclei can be used to predict motor symptoms and induce them experimentally, pointing to potential therapeutic strategies.
Behavioral and pharmaceutical interventions reverse defects associated with increased cerebellar long-term depression in a mouse model of Fragile X syndrome.
The first neuronal wiring diagram of an insect nerve cord, which includes biological information on cell type and organisation, enables further investigation into premotor circuit function.
