A study in male mice finds that neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis shape hypothalamic neural representations to control the transition from appetitive to consummatory innate social behaviour towards conspecifics of both sexes.
Combining high-throughput fluorescence-activated cell sorting and single-cell RNA sequencing, neurons with and without neurofibrillary tangles from people with Alzheimer disease were shown to have different molecular signatures.
A new study shows that many olfactory sensory neurons in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes express more than one type of chemosensory receptor and some of these neurons can respond to multiple olfactory cues.
In this Review, Liu and Bohórquez explore the neural basis for sugar preference in mammals. The authors discuss the role of the gut in recognizing glucose and its consequence for sugar preference.
Recent studies of transient receptor potential (TRP) channel structure have provided unique insight into the function of TRP channels in our normal sensations and in pain. In this Review, Rosenbaum et al. examine recent advances in the field of TRP ion channel structure–function relationships and their role in pain.
High-resolution transcriptomic studies have enabled detailed dissection of the diverse cell types of the hypothalamus in adulthood and at different stages of development. In this Review, Benevento, Hökfelt and Harkany describe the processes that govern the generation and specification of cell types in the developing hypothalamus.
Battaglia and colleagues discuss evidence for functional interactions between memory replay and default mode network (DMN) activity and propose an updated model of memory consolidation and retrieval in which the DMN acts as a hub for cascaded replay across the brain.
