Abstract: Reward-based learning is known to induce cortical plasticity in primary sensory areas. A new study by Goltstein, Meijer, and Pennartz [1] (eLife2018;7:e37683), adopting a dual-scale approach (single-unit and population level), shows how associative learning in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep46627
Abstract: The interplay between an animal’s environmental niche and its behavior can influence the evolutionary form and function of its sensory systems. While intraspecific variation in sensory systems has been documented across distant taxa, fewer studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnsyn.2021.672891
Abstract: Semaphorins, originally discovered as guidance cues for developing axons, are involved in many processes that shape the nervous system during development, from neuronal proliferation and migration to neuritogenesis and synapse formation. Interestingly, the expression of… read more here.
