Mice lacking TUBB4B are profoundly deaf due to defects in both the middle and inner ear consisting in microtubule alterations in cochlear supporting cells and motile cilia defects in epithelial cells.

The visual signals transmitted by the retina to the brain are affected by random drift in eye position, but the impact of this on visual capabilities is not clear. Here, the authors show that the decoding of images from evoked spike trains recorded in the macaque retina improves with fixational eye movements, even when the eye position is unknown.

A study in mice reveals the neural pathway through which light regulates glucose metabolism.

Bright light exerts antinociceptive effects in mice by activating a visual circuit involving the periaqueductal grey.
