    Drug-induced changes in connectivity to midbrain dopamine cells revealed by rabies monosynaptic tracing

    Katrina Bartas, Pieter Derdeyn ... Kevin T Beier
    Addictive drugs, as well as ketamine/xylazine, change the connectivity to ventral tegmental area dopamine cells, which may be related to cellular activity.

    A meta-analysis suggests that TMS targeting the hippocampal network selectively improves episodic memory

    Elena Badillo Goicoechea, Phillip F Agres ... Joel L Voss
    Meta-analysis indicates that network-targeted non-invasive brain stimulation consistently enhances memory function supported by the hippocampal network, thus providing robust evidence that specific memory abilities rely on specific modifiable brain networks.

    Subregional activity in the dentate gyrus is amplified during elevated cognitive demands

    Charlotte CM Castillon, Shintaro Otsuka ... Anis Contractor
    Selective engagement of suprapyramidal dentate gyrus neurons during a high-demand pattern separation task reveals blade-specific circuit engagement for enhancing mnemonic discrimination.

    Identification of the regulatory elements and protein substrates of lysine acetoacetylation

    Qianyun Fu, Terry Nguyen ... Y George Zheng
    A newly developed chemo-immunological strategy enabled detection of acetoacetate-mediated lysine acetoacetylation, identified the associated regulatory enzymes, and revealed its distinct biological functions and physiological significance.
    1. Neuroscience

    Effort produces after-effects costly for others but valued for self

    Ya Zheng, Rumeng Tang
    Neural reward signals following effort are amplified for self-benefiting outcomes but attenuated for other-benefiting outcomes, contingent upon reward magnitude and individual effort sensitivity.
    1. Neuroscience

    A context-free model of savings in motor learning

    Mahdiyar Shahbazi, Olivier Codol ... Paul L Gribble
    Recurrent neural network models trained on a novel motor skill exhibit a persistent shift in preparatory activity that enables faster relearning, without cognitive or contextual cues.
    1. Neuroscience

    Locus coeruleus modulation of prefrontal dynamics during attentional switching in mice

    Marco Nigro, Lucas Silva Tortorelli ... Hongdian Yang
    Inhibiting locus coeruleus input to the medial prefrontal cortex in mice impaired task performance, affected the tuning of single cortical neurons and disrupted population dynamics and encoding capacity during attentional switching.
    1. Neuroscience

    Dissociable neural substrates of integration and segregation in exogenous attention

    Yujie Chen, Ai-Su Li ... Yang Zhang
    Dissociable neural signatures of integration and segregation provide the first direct neuroimaging evidence for the integration-segregation theory of exogenous attention.

    The long non-coding RNA Dreg1 is required for optimal ILC2 development

    Sara Quon, Adelynn Tang ... Rhys Allan
    A Gata3 enhancer-embedded long non-coding RNA, Dreg1, was identified as being specifically required for optimal group 2 innate lymphoid cell development.

    Physiological febrile heat stress increases cytoadhesion through increased protein trafficking of Plasmodium falciparum surface proteins into the red blood cell

    David Jones, Hugo Belda ... Moritz Treeck
    Fever, often seen as protective, accelerates protein export to surfaces of malaria-infected RBCs, increasing adhesion linked to disease severity.
