    Spatially periodic computation in the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit during navigation

    Bo Zhang, Xin Guan ... Jia Liu
    A threefold hippocampal code across conceptual directions, phase-locked to entorhinal grid activity, reveals a periodic mechanism through which entorhinal grids structure hippocampal vector representations.

    Deep neural networks to register and annotate cells in moving and deforming nervous systems

    Adam A Atanas, Alicia Kun-Yang Lu ... Steven W Flavell
    New machine vision tools are used to align densely packed cells recorded from live, deforming tissues and automatically annotate the identities of the recorded cell types.

    Frictional instabilities as an alternative to friction coefficient in fine touch perception

    Maryanne Derkaloustian, Pushpita Bhattacharyya ... Charles B Dhong
    To study fine touch, selecting samples based on how many mechanical instabilities they can form is more predictive than using the friction coefficient, which has been the default choice.

    Single molecule counting detects low-copy glycine receptors in hippocampal and striatal synapses

    Serena Camuso, Yana Vella ... Christian G Specht
    Synapses in the forebrain were thought of as purely GABAergic, yet they contain minute numbers of glycine receptors, often in the single digits.

    Temporal Information: Synaptic footprints of time in working memory

    Dhruv Grover, Marissa L Heintschel
    Temporary changes in synapses may allow working memory to keep track of both events and their timing.
