Fischer and Reh provide evidence that Müller glia in the retina of postnatal chickens have the potential to re-enter the cell cycle and generate new neurons, which are distributed throughout the inner and outer nuclear layers of the retina. Shown here is a vertical section of the chicken retina that has been double labeled for cellular retinoic acid binding protein (orange) and calretinin (green). See page 247.

Getting a bead on receptor movements

Studies of populations of receptor proteins suggest that their number and location are highly regulated. Single-particle tracking of glycine receptors now reveals the direct movement of receptors between different clusters of the anchoring protein gephyrin.

Drug delivery via the blood–brain barrier

The blood–brain barrier forms a buffer against the systemic circulation. Now drugs administered to the brain are shown to be exported by a transporter to act at peripheral sites.

Could plasticity of inhibition pattern pattern generators?

A modeling study shows that inhibitory synapse plasticity, guided by simple activity-dependent rules, can lead to appropriate phase relationships within an oscillating network.

Late responses and perceptual awareness

An electrophysiological study in monkey primary visual cortex reveals that a late component of neural activity is correlated with perceptual awareness of an object.
