    Executive resources shape the impact of language predictability across the adult lifespan

    Merle Marie Schuckart, Sandra Martin ... Jonas Obleser
    Analyses of self-paced reading times reveal that linguistic prediction deteriorates under limited executive resources, with this resource sensitivity becoming markedly more pronounced with advancing age.

    Cryo-EM structure revealed a novel F-actin binding motif in a Legionella pneumophila lysine fatty acyltransferase

    Wenjie W Zeng, Garrison Komaniecki ... Yuxin Mao
    A novel F-actin-binding motif consisting of an α-helix hairpin from a Legionella pneumophila lysine fatty acyltransferase has the potential to be developed as an F-actin probe.

    Directed differentiation of functional corticospinal-like neurons from endogenous SOX6+/NG2+ cortical progenitors

    Abdulkadir Ozkan, Hari K Padmanabhan ... Jeffrey D Macklis
    Developmentally-based directed differentiation from cortical progenitors sets a foundation for in vitro mechanistic and therapeutic disease modeling, and toward regenerative neuronal repopulation and circuit repair.

    Microglia replacement by ER-Hoxb8 conditionally immortalized macrophages provides insight into Aicardi–Goutières syndrome neuropathology

    Kelsey M Nemec, Genevieve Uy ... F Chris Bennett
    A microglia replacement approach demonstrates that brain macrophages with patient mutations from Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, a genetic, brain predominant interferonopathy, are sufficient to drive interferon responses.

    Inhibitory circuits control leg movements during Drosophila grooming

    Durafshan Sakeena Syed, Primoz Ravbar, Julie H Simpson
    Anatomical and behavioral characterization of inhibitory neurons in the Drosophila ventral nerve cord shows their critical, diverse roles in limb coordination.
    1. Neuroscience

    Synaptic mechanisms modulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of striatal direct pathway neurons and motor output

    John J Marshall, Jian Xu ... Anis Contractor
    Bidirectional modulation of the activity of the synaptic protein mGluR5 alters spontaneous mouse motor behavior and produces correlated changes in co-activity patterns among direct pathway neurons in the dorsal striatum.

    TRPV3 channel activity helps cortical neurons stay active during fever

    Yiming Shen, Richárd Fiáth ... Michelle W Antoine
    Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C during fever.

    Axonal distribution of mitochondria maintains neuronal autophagy during aging via eIF2β

    Kanako Shinno, Yuri Miura ... Kanae Ando
    Upregulation of the β subunit of translation initiation factor eIF2 underlies autophagy suppression and premature aging caused by disruption of axonal transport of mitochondria.
    1. Neuroscience

    Sex-specific exploration accounts for differences in valence learning in male and female mice

    Heike Schuler, Eshaan S Iyer ... Rosemary C Bagot
    Deep behavioral phenotyping reveals that performance readouts from single-valence conditioning are biased by baseline sex differences in exploration, and mixed-valence conditioning provides a clearer assessment of learning in both sexes.

    Computational modelling identifies key determinants of subregion-specific dopamine dynamics in the striatum

    Aske Ejdrup, Jakob Kisbye Dreyer ... Ulrik Gether
    A computational model of the striatal dopamine system predicts transporter expression and organisation as key determinants of regional striatal dopamine dynamics and distinct signal decoding by D1 and D2 receptors.
