    ErbB4 deletion in noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus induces mania-like behavior via elevated catecholamines

    Shu-Xia Cao, Ying Zhang ... Xiao-Ming Li
    Behavioral and molecular mechanistic studies elaborate the important role of ErbB4 in noradrenergic neurons associated with mania pathogenesis.

    UBE2G1 governs the destruction of cereblon neomorphic substrates

    Gang Lu, Stephanie Weng ... Mark Rolfe
    Cereblon-based small-molecule degraders rely on the sequential action of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes UBE2G1 and UBE2D3 to assemble K48-linked polyubiquitin chains on cereblon neomorphic substrates, resulting in their proteasomal degradation.

    Receptive field center-surround interactions mediate context-dependent spatial contrast encoding in the retina

    Maxwell H Turner, Gregory W Schwartz, Fred Rieke
    In the retina, the receptive field surround preserves the spatial contrast sensitivity of the center in the face of naturalistic changes in local luminance.

    High N-glycan multiplicity is critical for neuronal adhesion and sensitizes the developing cerebellum to N-glycosylation defect

    Daniel Medina-Cano, Ekin Ucuncu ... Vincent Cantagrel
    Impairment of protein N-glycosylation disrupts neural cell adhesion mediated by highly glycosylated members of the IgSF-CAM protein family.

    Yeast Ded1 promotes 48S translation pre-initiation complex assembly in an mRNA-specific and eIF4F-dependent manner

    Neha Gupta, Jon R Lorsch, Alan G Hinnebusch
    Yeast RNA helicase Ded1 stimulates ribosome recruitment of structure-laden native mRNAs in a reconstituted system by interactions between domains in Ded1 and initiation factor eIF4G that stabilizes a Ded1-eIF4F complex.

    Feedback optimizes neural coding and perception of natural stimuli

    Chengjie G Huang, Michael G Metzen, Maurice J Chacron
    Neurophysiological and behavioral approaches reveal how coordinated input from descending pathways shapes the tuning properties of electrosensory neurons in order to optimize coding of natural stimuli through temporal whitening.

    Motor thalamus supports striatum-driven reinforcement

    Arnaud L Lalive, Anthony D Lien ... Anatol C Kreitzer
    While the basal ganglia have long been thought to mediate learning through dopamine-dependent striatal plasticity, their regulation of motor thalamus plays an unexpected and critical role in reinforcement.

    Induction of human somatostatin and parvalbumin neurons by expressing a single transcription factor LIM homeobox 6

    Fang Yuan, Xin Chen ... Yan Liu
    Inducing expression of a single transcription factor LIM homeobox 6 showed efficient generation of human parvalbumin and somatostatin interneurons.

    Competition for synaptic building blocks shapes synaptic plasticity

    Jochen Triesch, Anh Duong Vo, Anne-Sophie Hafner
    Computational model reveals how the fast exchange of neurotransmitter receptors between synapses induces a competition leading to a transient form of heterosynaptic plasticity and shaping the induction of homosynaptic plasticity.

    A complex peripheral code for salt taste in Drosophila

    Alexandria H Jaeger, Molly Stanley ... Michael D Gordon
    Unlike other taste modalities, the Drosophila taste system encodes salt taste combinatorially across multiple sensory neuron classes, which combine to produce behavioural valence and plasticity.
