    PKMζ-PKCι/λ double-knockout demonstrates atypical PKC is crucial for the persistence of hippocampal LTP and spatial memory

    Panayiotis Tsokas, Changchi Hsieh ... Todd Charlton Sacktor
    Double-knockout of PKMζ and the other atypical PKC, PKCι/λ, reveals that, without PKMζ for maintenance, PKCι/λ becomes persistently active to sustain hippocampal late-LTP and long-term memory.

    Two time scales of adaptation in human learning rates

    Jonas Simoens, Senne Braem ... Tom Verguts
    Humans adapt learning rates on both a fast and a slow time scale, and the central orbitofrontal cortex may represent the slow time scale.

    FMRP regulates neuronal RNA granules containing stalled ribosomes, not where ribosomes stall

    Jewel T-Y Li, Mehdi Amiri ... Wayne S Sossin
    The loss of FMRP does not affect how neuronal ribosomes are stalled or where they are stalled, but reduces the number of neuronal RNA granules that contain stalled ribosomes.

    The view tolerance of human identity recognition depends on horizontal face information

    Alexia Roux-Sibilon, Helene Dumont ... Valerie Goffaux
    View-tolerant identity recognition in humans depends on the stable identity cues provided by horizontal facial information.

    Serial dependence predicts generalization in perceptual learning

    Noga Pinchuk-Yacobi, Dov Sagi, Yoram S Bonneh
    A single temporal integration process links momentary perceptual biases to the generalization of learned skills, providing a unifying account of specificity versus flexibility in human learning.

    Organization of circuits linking descending input to motor output in the Drosophila Male Adult Nerve Cord connectome

    Han SJ Cheong, Katharina Eichler ... Gwyneth M Card
    Circuit analyses of synaptic connectivity in networks connecting descending and motor neurons in the Drosophila Male Adult Nerve Cord connectome reveal the modular network organization of descending to motor pathways.

    Serotonergic modulation of motor subspace dynamics drives a sleep-independent quiescent state

    Kexin Qi, Yuming Chai ... Quan Wen
    Serotonin promotes a sleep-independent quiescent state through selective modulation of motor neural population dynamics.
