Meet Dr. Umberto Olcese currently working at the University of Amsterdam focused on studying the neuron-level mechanisms of perception.

This paper presents an elegant study examining neuronal activation in multiple brain regions involved in learning and consolidation of an alternation task.

These images show the GABAA receptor δ subunit expressed on parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the basolateral amygdala.

Meet Dr. Zoltan Simandi currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Cremins Lab at the University of Pennsylvania focused on understanding the molecular underpinnings of neural cell fates in development and disease.

The authors show that voltage-gated sodium channels in vomeronasal sensory neurons undergo slow inactivation and this can contribute to the spike adaption caused by repeated stimuli.
