    Non-shared coding of observed and executed actions prevails in macaque ventral premotor mirror neurons

    Jörn K Pomper, Mohammad Shams ... Peter Thier
    Ventral premotor mirror neurons discriminate observed actions well but predominantly differently from self-performed actions, requiring reconsideration of concepts addressing their function.

    The intrinsically disordered cytoplasmic tail of a dendrite branching receptor uses two distinct mechanisms to regulate the actin cytoskeleton

    Daniel A Kramer, Heidy Y Narvaez-Ortiz ... Baoyu Chen
    The dendrite branching receptor HPO-30 modulates actin dynamics by binding to both WAVE complex and actin filaments.

    Enhancing precision in human neuroscience

    Stephan Nebe, Mario Reutter ... Gordon B Feld
    Measurement precision offers a comprehensive perspective on good scientific practices to improve reproducibility of research results by providing means to optimize design and analysis parameters (e.g. sample size, trial count, or sample heterogeneity) in accordance with the researcher’s goals.

    TPL2 kinase activity regulates microglial inflammatory responses and promotes neurodegeneration in tauopathy mice

    Yuanyuan Wang, Tiffany Wu ... Jesse E Hanson
    Preventing activity of the kinase tumor progression locus 2 modulates microglial activation, reduces T-cell brain infiltration, and is neuroprotective in disease models.

    Conditional deletion of neurexins dysregulates neurotransmission from dopamine neurons

    Charles Ducrot, Gregory de Carvalho ... Louis-Eric Trudeau
    A combination of electrophysiological, electrochemical, and anatomical experiments sheds new light on how the complex neurotransmitter repertoire of dopaminergic neurons in the brain is regulated by proteins of the neurexin family.
    1. Neuroscience

    Synchronous multi-segmental activity between metachronal waves controls locomotion speed in Drosophila larvae

    Yingtao Liu, Eri Hasegawa ... Hiroshi Kohsaka
    GABAergic interneurons coordinate synchronous muscle contractions along the length of the fruit fly larva to control the duration between peristaltic waves and locomotion speed.
    1. Cancer Biology

    Precision RNAi using synthetic shRNAmir target sites

    Thomas Hoffmann, Alexandra Hörmann ... Ralph A Neumüller
    Artificial RNA interference is a novel loss-of-function method for highly stringent target validation in oncology and beyond.

    Protein compactness and interaction valency define the architecture of a biomolecular condensate across scales

    Anton A Polyansky, Laura D Gallego ... Bojan Zagrovic
    A colloid fractal cluster model provides a quantitative link between the atomistic features of an intrinsically disordered polypeptide and the spatial organization of the biomolecular condensate it forms.

    Discovery and characterization of a specific inhibitor of serine-threonine kinase cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) demonstrates role in hippocampal CA1 physiology

    Anna Castano, Margaux Silvestre ... Alison D Axtman
    Specific inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5), a kinase linked to a severe neurodevelopmental disorder, demonstrates an important role in the regulation of excitatory hippocampal synapses and synaptic plasticity that was not previously appreciated in rodent knock-out models.
