14 Primary sensory areas of newborn mammals typically display input-dependent plasticity. Thomson and colleagues use a sensory prosthetic device in rats to show that adult rats can discriminate different infrared light signals, when the signals are routed to somatosensory cortex by electrical microstimulation.

7 Goldman and colleagues report that the transcriptional repressor Insm1a is essential for retinal regeneration following injury in fish. Insm1a suppresses the expression of Ascl1a to promote Müller glial cells’ dedifferentiation at early stages of regeneration, and defines the regeneration zone by negatively regulating the expression of the heparin-binding EGF. It also halts the proliferation of retinal progenitors in the late stages of the process.
