    Glutamate receptor composition at Drosophila neuromuscular junctions depends on developmental stage and muscle identity

    Anne Sustar, Chengjie Qiu ... John C Tuthill
    Diverse combinations of glutamate receptor subunits are expressed across developmental stages and even between adjacent muscles in adult Drosophila.

    Oxytocin neurons signal state-dependent transitions from rest to thermogenesis and behavioral arousal

    Morgane Vandendoren, Jason G Landen ... Adam Nelson
    Oxytocin neurons couple physiological warming to behavioral arousal, revealing a homeostatic mechanism that coordinates transitions between low- and high-energy states.

    Compensation of hyperexcitability with simulation-based inference

    Daniel Müller-Komorowska, Tomoki Fukai
    Simulation-based inference predicts putative circuit mechanisms of hyperexcitability in a phenomenological microcircuit simulator with more than 30 free intrinsic and synaptic parameters.

    Distinct gradients of cortical architecture capture visual representations and behavior across the lifespan

    Xiayu Chen, Xingyu Liu ... Jesse Gomez
    A large-scale convergence gradient and a fine-scale divergence gradient in cortical architecture capture visual hierarchy, areal boundaries, and behavior, uncovering an undescribed retinotopic representation in anterior temporal cortex.

    Fitness level, but not sex, affects exercise-induced pain modulation

    Janne Ina Nold, Tahmine Fadai ... Christian Büchel
    Physical fitness may explain individual variability in exercise-related pain modulation, particularly for heat pain while sex may not substantially influence these responses across conditions.
