Dynamin mediates vesicle scission during endocytosis, and here is shown to exist with syndapin 1 in biomolecular condensates at the endocytic zone that enable its participation in ultrafast endocytosis.
A study in mice finds that different dopamine neuron subsystems in the midbrain track food and fluid ingestion at different stages of this process, and that animals can use this information to learn about the results of ingestion.
Dendritic arbors are shaped by adhesion-molecule interactions between developing dendrites and the extracellular environment that are transduced by dendritic mechanosensitive channels into local calcium transients.
A new study shows that α-synuclein can interact with protein components of membraneless organelles involved in mRNA metabolism, and that such interactions may have relevance in Parkinson disease.
What’s the point of public engagement? Why can’t we just be neuroscience researchers? In this Comment I will argue that communicating our science is a key aspect of being a neuroscientist and that our science can be enriched by this.
A population of spinal interneurons that express prokineticin receptor 2 is needed in mice for the rewarding, antistress and prosocial effects of pleasant touch.
Neuronal activity in a key region of the mouse hypothalamus modulates adult hippocampal neurogenesis, promoting the formation of adult-born neurons that support cognition and affective function.
In rodents, absence seizures — a prominent manifestation of generalized epilepsy — drive activity-dependent myelination in the corpus callosum, increase interhemispheric synchrony and drive increases in seizure burden over time.
In this Comment, Linzie Taylor and Karen Rommelfanger argue that white Western individualist bias is impeding progress in neuroscience and present a relational rubric of principles to mitigate this bias.
