    Brain-wide mapping of layer-specific functional connectivity in the human cortex at 3T using draining-vein-suppressed fMRI

    Wei-Tang Chang, Weili Lin, Kelly S Giovanello
    A velocity-nulled 3T GE-EPI fMRI method enabling 0.9-mm whole-brain imaging that suppresses vascular contamination and reliably maps layer-specific functional connectivity in human cortex.

    Modeling the hallucinatory effects of classical psychedelics in terms of replay-dependent plasticity mechanisms

    Colin Bredenberg, Fabrice Normandin ... Guillaume Lajoie
    Computational simulations indicate that classical psychedelics could induce hallucinations by co-opting neural circuitry dedicated to sleep-dependent replay and consolidation, providing a theoretical link between seemingly disparate fields of inquiry.

    Alpha-band phase modulates perceptual sensitivity by changing internal noise and sensory tuning

    April Pilipenko, Alexandra McGowan, Jason Samaha
    Alpha-band, 8–13 Hz, neural oscillations phasically modulate the sensitivity of visual detection by changing internal sensory noise.

    How individual vigor shapes human–human physical interaction

    Dorian Verdel, Bastien Berret, Etienne Burdet
    Interactions between pairs of humans lead to the emergence of a dyadic vigor with similar characteristics as individual vigor, where both partners adapt, with the slower having a critical role.

    Dimorphic neural network architecture prioritizes sexual-related behaviors in male Caenorhabditis elegans

    Xuebin Wang, Hanzhang Liu ... He Liu
    Graph theory and computational modeling reveal that neural network architecture biases the male Caenorhabditis elegans brain toward prioritized sexual behaviors.
