    Large-scale two-photon imaging revealed super-sparse population codes in the V1 superficial layer of awake monkeys

    Shiming Tang, Yimeng Zhang ... Tai Sing Lee
    Two-photon imaging reveals super-sparse responses to natural images in primate V1, which carry sufficient information for discrimination of the input natural images with high accuracy.

    Rev7 and 53BP1/Crb2 prevent RecQ helicase-dependent hyper-resection of DNA double-strand breaks

    Bryan A Leland, Angela C Chen ... Megan C King
    A single-cell assay reveals that the genetic rewiring that underlies PARP inhibitor resistance drives altered DNA double-strand break end resection pathway choice.

    Clathrin coat controls synaptic vesicle acidification by blocking vacuolar ATPase activity

    Zohreh Farsi, Sindhuja Gowrisankaran ... Ira Milosevic
    Parallel measurements of pH gradient and membrane potential at the single vesicle level have revealed that the synaptic vesicle acidification is initiated by removal of its clathrin coat, which blocks vesicular ATPase activity.

    A robust and tunable mitotic oscillator in artificial cells

    Ye Guan, Zhengda Li ... Qiong Yang
    The development of a robust and tunable artificial cell-cycle system paves the way for quantitative characterization of complex clock functions.

    Proprioceptive and cutaneous sensations in humans elicited by intracortical microstimulation

    Michelle Armenta Salas, Luke Bashford ... Richard A Andersen
    Electrical microstimulation of human somatosensory cortex elicited purely naturalistic proprioceptive and cutaneous sensations, with proprioceptive sensations more prominent at higher current amplitudes suggesting a relationship between amplitude and sensation type.

    Occurrence of long-term depression in the cerebellar flocculus during adaptation of optokinetic response

    Takuma Inoshita, Tomoo Hirano
    Motor training decreased the unit synaptic response and suppressed induction of long-term depression at parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapses in the cerebellum, supporting involvement of long-term depression in motor learning.

    Architecture of the human mTORC2 core complex

    Edward Stuttfeld, Christopher HS Aylett ... Nenad Ban
    The structure of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) reveals the architecture of the complex and explains the structural basis of rapamycin insensitivity.

    Frontal cortex selects representations of the talker’s mouth to aid in speech perception

    Muge Ozker, Daniel Yoshor, Michael S Beauchamp
    During speech perception, if auditory speech is not informative the frontal cortex will enhance responses in visual regions that represent the mouth of the talker to improve perception.

    Loss of functional BAP1 augments sensitivity to TRAIL in cancer cells

    Krishna Kalyan Kolluri, Constantine Alifrangis ... Samuel M Janes
    Loss of BAP1 function is associated with increased sensitivity to TRAIL and other death receptor agonists in malignant mesothelioma, where this is a frequent event, with immediate and actionable therapeutic implications.

    Jak2-mediated phosphorylation of Atoh1 is critical for medulloblastoma growth

    Tiemo J Klisch, Anna Vainshtein ... Huda Y Zoghbi
    Aberrant phosphorylation of tyrosine 78 on Atoh1 via Jak2 is responsible for sonic hedgehog type medulloblastoma growths in vivo.
