The odorant-induced Ca(2+) increase inside the cilia of vertebrate olfactory sensory neurons controls both excitation and adaptation. The increase in the internal concentration of Ca(2+) in the cilia has recently been visualized directly an...

Direction-selective cells in the fly visual system that have large receptive fields play a decisive role in encoding the time-dependent optic flow the animal encounters during locomotion. Recent experiments on the computations performed by ...

Combined psychophysical and neurophysiological experiments have revealed some of the neural codes associated with perception and processing of tactile information. Recently, intracortical microstimulation was used to demonstrate a causal li...

Although the response properties and synaptic projections of muscle sensory neurons have been studied extensively, relatively little is known about how these sensory neurons develop their unique phenotypes during embryonic life. The explosi...

The nervous system encodes information relating chemical stimuli to taste perception, beginning with transduction mechanisms at the receptor and ending in the representation of stimulus attributes by the activity of neurons in the brain. Re...

The past year has seen great advances in the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study the functional organization of the human visual cortex, to measure the neuronal correlates of visual perception, and to test computati...

'Ocular tracking' refers to visually driven, slow eye movements that stabilize moving images on the retina, thereby facilitating high acuity vision. Recent behavioral studies have shown that the primate brain produces several kinds of ocula...

Recent studies indicate that morphological alterations of axon branches that are removed during normal development are similar to those that occur following ablation of postsynaptic cells in adult animals. In both situations, axons retract ...

Metabotropic L-glutamate receptors are involved in various forms of synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. The use of a new antagonist (LY341495) that blocks all known metabotropic L-glutamate receptors in the brain, together with subtype-...

The recent discovery that familial hemiplegic migraine, episodic ataxia type 2, and spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 are allelic disorders caused by different mutations in CACNA1A, a calcium-channel-encoding gene, adds to a growing list of cha...
