    Neural activity ramps in frontal cortex signal extended motivation during learning

    Josue M Regalado, Ariadna Corredera Asensio ... Priyamvada Rajasethupathy
    Motivated animals learn to put in more effort and ignore distractions to reach their goals due to increased neural activity in the frontal cortex.

    Liver microRNA transcriptome reveals miR-182 as link between type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease in obesity

    Christin Krause, Jan H Britsemmer ... Henriette Kirchner
    The liver microRNA transcriptome of humans with type 2 diabetes and obesity is analyzed for the first time and compared with diet-induced obesity in mice.

    Using synchronized brain rhythms to bias memory-guided decisions

    John J Stout, Allison E George ... Amy L Griffin
    Brain-machine interfacing was used to align trials with heightened prefrontal-hippocampal oscillatory synchronization on spatial working memory-dependent and -independent tasks, and these trials were associated with correct choices.

    Firing rate adaptation affords place cell theta sweeps, phase precession, and procession

    Tianhao Chu, Zilong Ji ... Si Wu
    Adaptation within a continuous attractor neural network explains theta phase precession and procession, providing insight into the neural mechanism of theta phase coding in the hippocampus.

    Energetic demands regulate sleep-wake rhythm circuit development

    Amy R Poe, Lucy Zhu ... Matthew S Kayser
    Behavioral and circuit analyses show that changes to energetic demand are a key driver of consolidation of daily sleep and feeding patterns as animals mature.

    Alzheimer’s disease linked Aβ42 exerts product feedback inhibition on γ-secretase impairing downstream cell signaling

    Katarzyna Marta Zoltowska, Utpal Das ... Lucía Chávez-Gutiérrez
    A novel Aβ-driven inhibitory mechanism on γ-secretases, which leads to substrate accumulation and reduced release of products, contributes to neurotoxicity by impairing γ-secretase signaling and might operate in Alzheimer’s disease.

    Prediction error determines how memories are organized in the brain

    Nicholas GW Kennedy, Jessica C Lee ... Nathan M Holmes
    When new and past experiences are similar, the memories of those experiences are stored together, and when new and past experiences are different, the memories of those experiences are stored separately.

    Allosteric activation of the co-receptor BAK1 by the EFR receptor kinase initiates immune signaling

    Henning Mühlenbeck, Yuko Tsutsui ... Cyril Zipfel
    Structure-function analysis reveals an allosteric mechanism activating a plant immune receptor kinase complex.

    Myelin dystrophy impairs signal transmission and working memory in a multiscale model of the aging prefrontal cortex

    Sara Ibañez, Nilapratim Sengupta ... Christina M Weaver
    Biologically plausible levels of myelin dystrophy induce substantial working memory impairment in a computational model of brain aging across two spatial and temporal scales.

    Deficiency of IQCH causes male infertility in humans and mice

    Tiechao Ruan, Ruixi Zhou ... Ying Shen
    IQCH is required for acrosome and axoneme development during spermatogenesis in humans and mice.
