    Regime shift detection and neurocomputational substrates for under and overreactions to change

    Mu-Chen Wang, George Wu, Shih-Wei Wu
    In a stylized regime-shift detection task, human fMRI evidence shows that under- and overreactions to change arise from dissociable contributions of the frontoparietal network and ventromedial prefrontal cortex.

    Cross-modal interaction of human alpha activity does not reflect inhibition of early sensory processing in a frequency-tagging study using EEG and MEG

    Marion Brickwedde, Rupali Limachya ... Ali Mazaheri
    Early visual alpha oscillations correlate on a trial-by-trial basis with steady-state responses at later stages of the processing stream, implying a role in signal enhancement and interareal communication.

    Adult-neurogenesis allows for representational stability and flexibility in early olfactory system

    Zhen Chen, Krishnan Padmanabhan
    Using computational and theoretical models shows how adult-neurogenesis and spike-timing-dependent plasticity balance the flexibility and stability of odor representations.

    Age-dependent H3K9 trimethylation by dSetdb1 impairs mitochondrial UPR leading to degeneration of olfactory neurons and loss of olfactory function in Drosophila

    Francisco Muñoz-Carvajal, Nicole Sanhueza ... Felipe A Court
    Age-related epigenetic regulation of mitochondrial stress responses drives neuronal degeneration and sensory decline, highlighting mitochondrial resilience as a potential target to preserve brain function during aging.
