    A mechanistic theory of planning in prefrontal cortex

    Kristopher T Jensen, Peter T Doohan ... Timothy E Behrens
    Recently discovered sequence representations in prefrontal cortex can be combined with the ubiquitous principle of neural attractor dynamics to support planning in complex environments.

    Strong mnemonic prediction errors increase cognitive control, attention, and arousal

    Alice M Xue, Jenna Jokhani ... Anthony D Wagner
    Violations of strong memory-based predictions trigger a cascade of changes in cognitive control, attention, and arousal, with differential impacts on the encoding of unexpected information into memory.

    p66Shc mediates SUMO2-induced endothelial dysfunction

    Jitendra Kumar, Shravan K Uppulapu ... Santosh Kumar
    SUMO2ylation of redox protein p66Shc drives endothelial dysfunction by promoting oxidative stress, identifying a potential therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease.

    An integrated human forebrain organoid reveals microglia-mediated CD8+ T cell recruitment and neuroimmune dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease pathology

    Yilin Feng, Feifei Yu ... Shaohua Ma
    Human forebrain organoids reveal that amyloid-driven microglia recruit killer T cells via CCL5, forming a self-amplifying neuroinflammatory loop targetable by CCR5 or CXCR3 blockade.

    Multiplexed CRISPRi reveals a transcriptional switch between KLF activators and repressors in the maturing neocortex

    Ryan W Kirk, Liwei Sun ... Sacha B Nelson
    In mammalian neocortex, opposing Krüppel-like factor (KLF) transcription factors first activate and then repress a genetic program related to axon outgrowth, potentially contributing to loss of cortical axon outgrowth in the adult.

    Syntaxin11 deficiency inhibits CRAC channel priming to suppress cytotoxicity and gene expression in T lymphocytes independent of membrane trafficking

    Sritama Datta, Abhikarsh Gupta ... Monika Vig
    Syntaxin11 directly controls a novel step in the activation of calcium channels, which helps activate genes and kill infected cells by a process distinct from moving cargo inside cells.

    Bruce suppresses autophagy-regulated caspase activity and wing tissue growth in Drosophila

    Natsuki Shinoda, Yutaro Hama ... Masayuki Miura
    The activity of Dcp-1, one of Drosophila executioner caspases, is selectively regulated by the autophagy–Bruce axis, which enables distinct non–lethal functions for promoting tissue growth independent of cell death.

    Separable downmodulation of meiotic axis protein deposition and DNA break induction at chromosome ends

    Adhithi R Raghavan, Kieron May ... Andreas Hochwagen
    Meiotic axis protein deposition and double-strand break formation near yeast chromosome ends are regulated by multiple distinct layers of regulation, including the chromatin modifiers Sir2/3 and Dot1.

    RiboTRAP-seq identifies spatially distinct functions for the anterior and posterior intestine in immune and metabolic regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Chung-Chih Liu, Nicolas Seban, Supriya Srinivasan
    Specialized anterior intestinal cells in Caenorhabditis elegans act as sentinels, regulating pathogen responses and linking food availability to gut peptide secretion through pyruvate metabolism.
    1. Neuroscience

    Individual dopaminergic neurons induce unique, yet overlapping combinations of behavioural modulations, including safety learning, memory retrieval, and acute locomotion

    Naoko Toshima, Arman Behrad ... Michael Schleyer
    Carrying 'teaching' signals and modulating movement, two highly conserved functions of the dopaminergic system across all animals, are brought about by the same individual dopaminergic neurons in an insect larva.
