    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.

    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.

    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.

    Neural categorization of visual words of alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages

    Guo Zheng, Shihui Han
    Explaining the neural mechanisms underlying language-based, spontaneous categorization of visual words of alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages by combining electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and a repetition suppression paradigm.

    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.
