    Vasoactive intestinal peptide-expressing interneurons are impaired in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome

    Kevin M Goff, Ethan M Goldberg
    Vasoactive intestinal peptide-expressing GABAergic interneurons in cerebral cortex express the sodium channel subunit Nav1.1, and a defined subset of VIP interneurons are dysfunctional in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome.

    Cryo-EM structure of the rhodopsin-Gαi-βγ complex reveals binding of the rhodopsin C-terminal tail to the gβ subunit

    Ching-Ju Tsai, Jacopo Marino ... Gebhard Schertler
    The structure of a light-sensitive G protein-coupled receptor in complex with a Gi-protein heterotrimer provides a structural foundation for the role of the receptor C-terminal tail in scaffolding and signaling.

    The genomes of polyextremophilic cyanidiales contain 1% horizontally transferred genes with diverse adaptive functions

    Alessandro W Rossoni, Dana C Price ... Andreas PM Weber
    Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) analysis in polyextremophile red algae (Cyanidiales) provides explanations for the nonexistence of cumulative effects and eukaryotic pangenomes, and highlights differences between HGT and native genes.

    Sonic hedgehog signaling in astrocytes mediates cell type-specific synaptic organization

    Steven A Hill, Andrew S Blaeser ... A Denise R Garcia
    Astrocytes modulate synaptic remodeling of developing circuits in a cell type-specific manner, with long lasting deficits in synaptic plasticity.

    The autophagic membrane tether ATG2A transfers lipids between membranes

    Shintaro Maeda, Chinatsu Otomo, Takanori Otomo
    The autophagy protein ATG2A tethers membranes and transfers lipids between them, suggesting that autophagosome membranes grow upon the acquisition of lipids from the ER through the ATG2A bridge.

    Impact of precisely-timed inhibition of gustatory cortex on taste behavior depends on single-trial ensemble dynamics

    Narendra Mukherjee, Joseph Wachutka, Donald B Katz
    Primary taste cortex does far more than code tastes by turning taste codes into motor commands via population dynamics.

    The Caenorhabditis elegans Tubby homolog dynamically modulates olfactory cilia membrane morphogenesis and phospholipid composition

    Danielle DiTirro, Alison Philbrook ... Piali Sengupta
    A Tubby protein regulates ciliary membrane morphology and phosphoinositide composition in a context-dependent manner.

    A connectional hub in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex links areas of emotion and cognitive control

    Wei Tang, Saad Jbabdi ... Suzanne N Haber
    A hub in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex receives unusually high and functionally diverse inputs, providing a biological interface between motivation, incentive based learning, and decision making.

    Structural and mutational analysis of the ribosome-arresting human XBP1u

    Vivekanandan Shanmuganathan, Nina Schiller ... Roland Beckmann
    Two integrated approaches shed light on how XBP1 arrest peptide induces intermediate level of translational pausing and identify hotspot positions to make it stronger.

    A composition-dependent molecular clutch between T cell signaling condensates and actin

    Jonathon A Ditlev, Anthony R Vega ... Michael K Rosen
    Compositional changes alter actin binding by phase separated T cell signaling clusters, enabling cluster movement by distinct actin networks.
