    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.

    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.

    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.
    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.
    1. Cell Biology

    A single-cell transcriptome atlas of pig skin characterizes anatomical positional heterogeneity

    Qin Zou, Rong Yuan ... Yanzhi Jiang
    The heterogeneity in molecule and function of three main cell types of smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts from both different anatomical sites of pig skin was comprehensively exposited.

    Genetic architecture of heart mitochondrial proteome influencing cardiac hypertrophy

    Karthickeyan Chella Krishnan, Elie-Julien El Hachem ... Aldons J Lusis
    The discovery of three distinct and independent trans-regulating genomic loci influencing heart mass using a well-characterized mouse reference population provides evidence in support of the hypothesis that genetic diversity in the mitochondrial proteome plays a critical role in heart pathophysiology.
