    Sense of control buffers against stress

    Jennifer C Fielder, Jinyu Shi ... Nikolaus Steinbeis
    A novel behavioural task that measures and manipulates subjective control in humans reveals that experimentally heightened feelings of control buffer against the negative impact of subsequent stress.

    Progressive overfilling of readily releasable pool underlies short-term facilitation at recurrent excitatory synapses in layer 2/3 of the rat prefrontal cortex

    Jiwoo Shin, Seung Yeon Lee ... Suk-Ho Lee
    Excitatory recurrent synapses in the upper pyramidal layer of the prefrontal cortex exhibit delayed short-term facilitation, despite very high vesicular fusion probability, through synaptotagmin 7-dependent overfilling of release sites.

    Compressed sensing-based approach identifies modular neural circuitry driving learned pathogen avoidance

    Timothy Hallacy, Abdullah Yonar ... Sharad Ramanathan
    An efficient neural screening approach rapidly identifies circuit modules governing distinct behavioral transitions in response to pathogen exposure.
