    Differential locus coeruleus–hippocampus interactions during offline states

    Mingyu Yang, Oxana Eschenko
    Noradrenergic tone varies with arousal state, is inversely correlated with hippocampal ripple and sleep spindle oscillations, and differs according to ripple–spindle coupling, with potential implications for synaptic and systems consolidation.

    Realistic coupling enables flexible macroscopic traveling waves in the mouse cortex

    Guanhua Sun, James Hazelden ... Daniel B Forger
    Multimodal data-driven computational modeling reveals that realistic cortical connectivity can generate more macroscopic traveling waves than local or uniform connectivity in the mouse cortex.

    Low-frequency tibial neuromodulation excites bladder activity in humans

    Aidan McConnell-Trevillion, Milad Jabbari ... Kianoush Nazarpour
    Computational modeling and human pilot study present a mechanistic framework explaining the capacity for transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation to induce excitatory or inhibitory effects based on electrical stimulation frequency alone.

    Complementary vertebrate Wac models exhibit phenotypes relevant to DeSanto-Shinawi Syndrome

    Kang-Han Lee, April M Stafford ... Daniel Vogt
    Two distinct vertebrate models were generated and phenotyped to study DESSH syndrome caused by the Wac gene.

    Sensitivity of the human temporal voice areas to nonhuman primate vocalizations

    Leonardo Ceravolo, Coralie Debracque ... Didier Grandjean
    Vocalizations of nonhuman primates, especially when acoustic and phylogenetic proximity is the highest, enhance human brain activity in the anterior temporal lobe.

    Frequency and laminar profile of feature-specific visual activity revealed by interleaved EEG–fMRI

    Tommy Clausner, José P Marques ... Mathilde Bonnefond
    Combined human laminar EEG–fMRI reveals feature-specific gamma band activity, and dissociates general (lower frequency) from feature-specific (higher frequency) alpha band activity related to superficial and deep cortical layers.
