By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

The activity of an individual neuron is constrained by the anatomical organization of its presynaptic network (the set of neurons from which it receives information). In the mouse brain ...

National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive brain-wide presynaptic ... biases shape movement neuron identity within ...

Here we provide the synaptic wiring diagram for sensorimotor circuits involved in learning ... Circuit tracing further identifies novel connections between HVC’s presynaptic partners. Our results ...
