We used correlative light and focussed ion beam–scanning electron microscopy (FIBSEM) to characterise the ultrastructural organisation of neuromodulatory axons in the upper layers of the adult mouse ...

Lymphatic vessels beat faster as they fill with fluid through a chain of calcium signaling, though the first pressure sensor ...

In the presence of emulated cone loss, eye movements are used to gather and integrate information, leading to improved letter ...

Diverse combinations of glutamate receptor subunits are expressed across developmental stages and even between adjacent ...

Recording the spiking activity of muscle fibers at high resolution in awake, behaving mice, reveals that locomotor speed is driven by highly variable subsets of motor units.

The steroid hormone dafachronic acid may carry the effects of reduced mTOR activity between tissues to coordinate metabolism and longevity across the body.

This fundamental study examines the benefits of spatial cognition in a wild population of mountain chickadees. Using robust genetic analyses and experimental design, the authors show with compelling ...
