    Learning steers the ontogeny of an efficient hunting sequence in zebrafish larvae

    Konstantinos Lagogiannis, Giovanni Diana, Martin P Meyer
    Early hunting experience modifies the kinematics of hunting in larval zebrafish to increase the probability of successfully capturing live prey.

    Experience, circuit dynamics, and forebrain recruitment in larval zebrafish prey capture

    Claire S Oldfield, Irene Grossrubatscher ... Ehud Y Isacoff
    Experience strengthens hunting in larval zebrafish by recruiting the forebrain to increase the prey-evoked activity in visual areas and trigger motor activity and prey capture.

    Caenorhabditis elegans methionine/S-adenosylmethionine cycle activity is sensed and adjusted by a nuclear hormone receptor

    Gabrielle E Giese, Melissa D Walker ... Albertha JM Walhout
    Metabolic activity of the methionine/S-adenosylmethionine cycle is sensed and transcriptionally regulated by a nuclear hormone receptor in Caenorhabditis elegans in order to maintain metabolic homeostasis in a tightly controlled regime.

    External location of touch is constructed post-hoc based on limb choice

    Femke Maij, Christian Seegelke ... Tobias Heed
    Humans retrospectively localize touch after deciding on which limb it occurred, challenging the mainstream idea that tactile location in space is the basis for assigning touch to a body part.

    Purkinje cell neurotransmission patterns cerebellar basket cells into zonal modules defined by distinct pinceau sizes

    Joy Zhou, Amanda M Brown ... Roy V Sillitoe
    Targeted genetic silencing and reporter labeling reveal that Purkinje cell activity organizes cerebellar basket cells into zonal modules based on the sizes of their projections.

    nNOS-expressing interneurons control basal and behaviorally evoked arterial dilation in somatosensory cortex of mice

    Christina T Echagarruga, Kyle W Gheres ... Patrick J Drew
    The diameter of cortical arteries is not controlled by the overall neural activity, but rather by a subset of specialized neurons.

    Gli3 utilizes Hand2 to synergistically regulate tissue-specific transcriptional networks

    Kelsey H Elliott, Xiaoting Chen ... Samantha A Brugmann
    Context-dependent optimization of Gli-binding site occupancy, in the presence of Hand2, is critical for modulating tissue-specific transcriptional output within tissues that lack an obvious Hedgehog morphogen gradient.

    The role of cochlear place coding in the perception of frequency modulation

    Kelly L Whiteford, Heather A Kreft, Andrew J Oxenham
    Human perceptual sensitivity to frequency modulation across the hearing range can be explained by a unitary neural code based on neural responses to amplitude modulation and fidelity of cochlear tuning.
    1. Neuroscience

    The dynamic interplay between ATP/ADP levels and autophagy sustain neuronal migration in vivo

    Cedric Bressan, Alessandra Pecora ... Armen Saghatelyan
    Imaging of energy status and autophagy during neuronal migration revealed that ATP/ADP levels dynamically change during the migratory and stationary phases and that ATP reduction induces autophagy to maintain migration.

    POMK regulates dystroglycan function via LARGE1-mediated elongation of matriglycan

    Ameya S Walimbe, Hidehiko Okuma ... Kevin P Campbell
    Protein O-Mannose Kinase enables Like-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase 1 to elongate matriglycan on α-dystroglycan, thereby allowing matriglycan to function as a scaffold for extracellular matrix proteins and prevent muscular dystrophy.
