   Axonal T3 uptake and transport can trigger thyroid hormone signaling in the brain

   Federico Salas-Lucia, Csaba Fekete ... Antonio C Bianco

   T3 is taken up by axonal termini and is retrogradely transported into endosomal vesicles to the cell nucleus, where it regulates gene expression.
2. 1. Neuroscience

   Motor cortex analogue neurons in songbirds utilize Kv3 channels to generate ultranarrow spikes

   Benjamin M Zemel, Alexander A Nevue ... Henrique von Gersdorff

   Molecular and electrophysiological evidence shows that Kv3 subunits contribute critically to ultrashort action potential waveforms and high-frequency firing in large projection neurons in zebra finch motor nuclei controlling song production and somatic movements.
3. 1. Neuroscience

   Response outcome gates the effect of spontaneous cortical state fluctuations on perceptual decisions

   Davide Reato, Raphael Steinfeld ... Alfonso Renart

   In a forced-choice auditory discrimination task, mice are more accurate if neural activity in the auditory cortex in the pre-stimulus baseline is higher and more desynchronized, but only if the previous trial was an error.
4. 1. Neuroscience

   Humans parsimoniously represent auditory sequences by pruning and completing the underlying network structure

   Lucas Benjamin, Ana Fló ... Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz

   When exposed to sound sequences, humans compute biased transition probabilities between elements, extract the underlying network structure, and even generalize missing data.
5. 1. Neuroscience

   Making memories last using the peripheral effect of direct current stimulation

   Alison M Luckey, Lauren S McLeod ... Sven Vanneste

   Non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the greater occipital nerve using direct current promotes strengthening of memories using late-phase synaptic activity.
6. 1. Neuroscience

   Gain, not concomitant changes in spatial receptive field properties, improves task performance in a neural network attention model

   Kai J Fox, Daniel Birman, Justin L Gardner

   Simple modifications to early stages of the visual hierarchy, such as gain changes, can induce complex effects on later stages, but only gain is both necessary and sufficient to explain enhanced perception during spatial attention.

   Annexin A6 mediates calcium-dependent exosome secretion during plasma membrane repair

   Justin Krish Williams, Jordan Matthew Ngo ... Randy Schekman

   Plasma membrane damage causes the release of exosomes from cultured human cells.
8. 1. Microbiology and Infectious Disease

   Structure–function analysis of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DltE reveals D-alanylated lipoteichoic acids as direct cues supporting Drosophila juvenile growth

   Nikos Nikolopoulos, Renata C Matos ... François Leulier

   D-alanylated lipoteichoic acids support Drosophila juvenile growth.
9. 1. Neuroscience

   Toward a more informative representation of the fetal–neonatal brain connectome using variational autoencoder

   Jung-Hoon Kim, Josepheen De Asis-Cruz ... Catherine Limperopoulos

   A nonlinear deep generative model can represent fetal–neonatal resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging better than conventional linear models.
10. 1. Cell Biology

    Mechanotransductive feedback control of endothelial cell motility and vascular morphogenesis

    Devon E. Mason, Megan Goeckel ... Joel D. Boerckel
