    Memory-specific encoding activities of the ventral tegmental area dopamine and GABA neurons

    Vasileios Glykos, Shigeyoshi Fujisawa
    Dopamine and GABA neurons in the ventral tegmental area encode short-term memory in the T-maze task, which cannot be explained by reward-related processes, motivated behavior, or motor-related activities.

    Paradoxical imbalance between activated lymphocyte protein synthesis capacity and rapid division rate

    Mina O Seedhom, Devin Dersh ... Jonathan W Yewdell
    Quantitative protein and ribosome 'accounting' in T cells highlights a gap in our understanding of how activated T cells sufficiently replicate their proteome during rapid cell division driven by infection.
    1. Neuroscience

    The stability of the primed pool of synaptic vesicles and the clamping of spontaneous neurotransmitter release rely on the integrity of the C-terminal half of the SNARE domain of syntaxin-1A

    Andrea Salazar Lázaro, Thorsten Trimbuch ... Christian Rosenmund
    Structure–function studies on the synaptic vesicle release protein syntaxin-1 identified structural motifs on the surface of the SNARE complex controlling vesicle priming and spontaneous release unique for synaptic signaling.
    1. Neuroscience

    Comparative brain-wide mapping of ketamine- and isoflurane-activated nuclei and functional networks in the mouse brain

    Yue Hu, Wenjie Du ... Yingwei Wang
    Brain-wide activation patterns reveal the distinct and shared neurophysiological impacts of ketamine and isoflurane, highlighting key nuclei involved in the modulation of general anesthesia.
    1. Neuroscience

    Heterosynaptic plasticity of the visuo-auditory projection requires cholecystokinin released from entorhinal cortex afferents

    Wenjian Sun, Haohao Wu ... Jufang He
    Visuo-auditory associative memories in the neocortex are formed through cholecystokinin-mediated heterosynaptic plasticity, primarily involving entorhinal cortex projections to the auditory cortex, highlighting intricate neural dynamics in multisensory memory processing.

    Inhibition of CERS1 in skeletal muscle exacerbates age-related muscle dysfunction

    Martin Wohlwend, Pirkka-Pekka Laurila ... Johan Auwerx
    CERS1 reduction in aging skeletal muscle contributes to impaired muscle function, myogenesis and increases inflammation and fibrosis, highlighting the significance of very long chain ceramides in age-related muscle homeostasis.
    1. Immunology and Inflammation

    Murine alveolar macrophages rapidly accumulate intranasally administered SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein leading to neutrophil recruitment and damage

    Chung Park, Il-Young Hwang ... John H Kehrl
    The SARS-CoV-2 Spike proteins demonstrate in vivo cellular tropism, ascertain targets within human mononuclear cells, and provide insights into their functional consequences, thereby enhancing comprehension of their impact on humans.
    1. Neuroscience

    A previously undescribed scene-selective site is the key to encoding ego-motion in naturalistic environments

    Bryan Kennedy, Sarala N Malladi ... Shahin Nasr
    There are many fine-scale scene-selective areas within the visual system, beyond the occipital, temporal, and medial place areas, whose function may be key to performing complex tasks in dynamic environments.
