    Prior cocaine use disrupts identification of hidden states by single units and neural ensembles in orbitofrontal cortex

    Wenhui Zong, Lauren Mueller ... Geoffrey Schoenbaum
    Rats with a history of cocaine use exhibited prolonged encoding of idiosyncratic task features in orbitofrontal cortex and a reduced ability to compress such features to identify underlying hidden states.

    Kinesin-1 conformational dynamics are controlled by a cargo-sensitive TPR switch

    Shivam Shukla, Jessica A Cross ... Mark P Dodding
    Cargo-adaptor binding to the KLC-TPR domains binding triggers structural rearrangements that relieve kinesin-1 autoinhibition, enabling MAP7 recruitment, through an allosteric mechanism that connects cargo recognition to motor activation.
