laminar connectivity matrix (image) representing the local excitatory network, generated by stimulating from pyramidal neurons (typical layer 5 neuron reconstruction shown in gray) and recording excitatory synaptic currents (red trace) evoked by glutamate uncaging and mapped by laser scanning photostimulation.

Title: "Making an effort to listen: mechanical amplification by myosin molecules and ion channels in hair cells of the inner ear."
The hair bundle is the mechanoreceptive organelle of the hair cell, the sensory receptor of the auditory and vestibular systems. The bundle additionally contributes to the active process that sensitizes and tunes our hearing.

Title: "Subcortical Disconnection Syndromes"
Diagram (A) and schema (B) of the general principle of organization of white matter fiber pathways emanating from every area of the cerebral cortex studied to date (Schmahmann and Pandya, 2006, 2008). Long association fibers are seen end-on as the stippled area within the white matter of the gyrus. In their course, these fibers either remain confined to the white matter of the gyrus, or travel deeper in the white matter of the hemisphere. Short association fibers, or U-fibers link adjacent gyri. Neighborhood association fibers link nearby regions usually within the same lobe. Striatal fibers intermingle with the association fibers early in their course, before coursing in the subcallosal fascicle of Muratoff or in the external capsule. Cord fibers segregate into commissural fibers that arise in cortical layers II and III, and the subcortical bundle, which further divides into fibers destined for thalamus arising from cortical layer VI, and those to brainstem and spinal cord in the pontine bundle arising from cortical layer V. The incorporation of subcortical areas into the distributed neural circuits governing sensorimotor function, intellect and emotion provides the anatomical substrate for the neurobehavioral disorders that result from lesions of thalamus, basal ganglia, and cerebellum, conceptualized here as subcortical disconnection syndromes.
