Suppressing Sensation during Action across Species and Sensory Modalities: Predictive and Nonpredictive Mechanisms of Sensory Modulation
Perception and action are deeply intertwined processes that require the nervous system to distinguish between self-generated (reafferent) and externally generated (exafferent) sensory inputs. To maintain accurate perception during movement, the br...

The Neuromuscular Junction: A Shared Vulnerability in Aging and Disease
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a specialized synapse essential for effective motor neuron–muscle communication and is increasingly recognized as a vulnerable site in aging and neuromuscular disease. While traditionally considered a final comm...

Behavioral Timescale Synaptic Plasticity: A Burst in the Field of Learning and Memory
Hebbian synaptic plasticity is currently the main framework to relate neuronal activity, network structure, and learning and memory. However, recent experimental and computational modeling studies have revealed a new form of synaptic plasticity te...

The Gut Microbiome as a Modulator of Traumatic Brain Injury Pathology and Symptoms
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect millions annually, leading to devastating neurobehavioral consequences and increasing risk for neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. However, therapies are lacking. Starting in 2018, dysbiosis of the gu...

Adenosine in the Brain: Recent Progress on Detection, Function, and Translation
Although adenosine was identified in the brain many decades ago, our understanding of when, where, and how it functions has expanded rapidly in recent years, driven in part by innovative technological advances. Adenosine is now increasingly recogn...

Critical Periods and Beyond: Dynamic Functions of Perineuronal Nets in Cognition, Development, and Disease
First discovered by Golgi, perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular matrices that surround various neuron types in the nervous system. They have been found to emerge at the end of developmental critical periods and serve as "molecular brakes" on...
