A dissociative state is caused by slow rhythmic firing of deep neurons in the retrosplenial cortex in mice or the homologous posteromedial cortex in humans

In mice, neuronally expressed opsin 5 acts as a deep brain violet light detector that allows hypothalamic neuron-mediated inhibition of thermogenesis.

Strengthening of the developing retinogeniculate circuit in mouse pups is promoted by a neuronal receptor and locally restricted by the microglial release of the receptor’s ligand.

Considering the influence of stress on research participants during the pandemic and beyond may provide new insights and benefit the broader field of human neuroscience.

Juvenile social isolation in mice reduces a recruitment of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) to posterior paraventricular thalamus social behaviour circuit and thereby reduces sociability in adulthood.

Nature Reviews Neuroscience was first published in October 2000. In this issue, we therefore mark the 20th anniversary of the journal.

Glutamatergic neurons in the peri-locus coeruleus respond during ingestion of palatable food or drink and promote hedonic ingestion.

Scientific meetings are an opportunity to promote research and researchers. Anne-Marie M. Oswald and Srdjan Ostojic describe ways to promote diversity at the conference podium.

Progenitor cells in fetuses carrying Huntington disease-associated mutations show differences to controls, suggesting the disease may have a developmental component.

In rodents, hypothalamic network oscillations regulate a brain–endocrine circuit that influences paternal care.
