OCEAN WONDER
Synthetic molecules similar to those produced by
sea anemones, such as this Heteractis magnifi ca,
are neuroprotective in a mouse cell model of
Alzheimer’s disease.

THROW THE SWITCH
A computer model of the mouse retina can predict the consequences
of altering the function of neurons, such as these horizontal cells.

HIDE AND SEEK
Scientists reported this year that the subplate, a predominant layer
(bright blue region above the orange cells) of the developing brain,
does not disappear in adults, as previously thought.
