    Predictive learning rules generate a cortical-like replay of probabilistic sensory experiences

    Toshitake Asabuki, Tomoki Fukai
    Biologically plausible synaptic plasticity rules enable recurrent neural networks to spontaneously replay sensory experiences with appropriate probabilistic structure.

    Microglia are required for developmental specification of AgRP innervation in the hypothalamus of offspring exposed to maternal high-fat diet during lactation

    Haley N Mendoza-Romero, Jessica E Biddinger ... Richard Simerly
    Hypothalamic microglia play an essential role in mediating changes to feeding circuitry caused by exposure to maternal HFD that may contribute to developmental programming of metabolic phenotype.

    Spectral decomposition unlocks ascidian morphogenesis

    Joel Dokmegang, Emmanuel Faure ... Madhav Mani
    The blueprint and narrative of shape formation during early development can be objectively observed by quantifying and analyzing whole-embryo dynamics.

    A common alteration in effort-based decision-making in apathy, anhedonia, and late circadian rhythm

    Sara Z Mehrhof, Camilla L Nord
    Individuals with a late circadian rhythm show the same deficits in motivational decision-making as those with neuropsychiatric symptoms, but only when tested in the morning.

    Rate of brain aging associates with future executive function in Asian children and older adults

    Susan F Cheng, Wan Lin Yue ... Juan Helen Zhou
    A longitudinal, deep learning approach reveals challenges and opportunities in establishing brain age as an effective metric of aging, with particular consideration given to underrepresented populations in Asia.

    Neural substrates of cold nociception in Drosophila larva

    Atit A Patel, Albert Cardona, Daniel N Cox
    Functional neural circuit dissection identifies sensorimotor responses to noxious cold in Drosophila larvae revealing complex mechanisms by which nervous systems sense and respond to cold.

    Precise spatial tuning of visually driven alpha oscillations in human visual cortex

    Kenichi Yuasa, Iris IA Groen ... Jonathan Winawer
    Separating alpha oscillations from broadband activity reveals that alpha suppression in the human visual cortex is highly localized, and modulates cortical state in a manner consistent with exogenous spatial attention.

    Fingertip viscoelasticity enables human tactile neurons to encode loading history alongside current force

    Hannes P Saal, Ingvars Birznieks, Roland S Johansson
    Fingertip tactile neurons collectively encode the skin's viscoelastic state alongside current touch, potentially enabling the brain to better interpret forces during manipulation.

    A multiplex of connectome trajectories enables several connectivity patterns in parallel

    Parham Mostame, Jonathan Wirsich ... Sepideh Sadaghiani
    Parallel connectome trajectories unfold asynchronously across timescales, sustaining a multiplex of functionally distinct brain networks operating at different speeds.

    BCAS2 promotes primitive hematopoiesis by sequestering β-catenin within the nucleus

    Guozhu Ning, Yu Lin ... Qiang Wang
    BCAS2 directly binds to the Armadillo repeats 9–12 of β-catenin via the coiled-coil domains, sequestering β-catenin within the nucleus and thereby promoting Wnt signaling during primitive hematopoiesis.
