    Flexible neural representations of abstract structural knowledge in the human entorhinal cortex

    Shirley Mark, Philipp Schwartenbeck ... Timothy E Behrens
    A novel fMRI method reveals that humans generalize task structure across non-aligned state spaces, showing entorhinal representations support flexible knowledge transfer.

    Transsaccadic working memory in healthy ageing and neurodegenerative disease

    Sijia Zhao, Thomas Parr ... Masud Husain
    Saccades selectively disrupt spatial but not colour memory, and while transsaccadic updating remains resilient to ageing and neurodegeneration, individual drawing deficits arise from impaired initial encoding and memory decay.

    Size tuning of neural response variability in laminar circuits of macaque primary visual cortex

    Lauri Nurminen, Maryam Bijanzadeh, Alessandra Angelucci
    The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting multiple circuits and mechanisms as the source of variability.
