    Transcriptional responses to chronic oxidative stress require cholinergic activation of G-protein-coupled receptor signaling

    Kasturi Biswas, Caroline Moore ... Michael M Francis
    Muscarinic cholinergic signaling links neural activity to organism‑wide transcriptional and proteostatic responses that protect against chronic oxidative stress.

    A comprehensive mechanosensory connectome reveals a somatotopically organized neural circuit architecture controlling stimulus-aimed grooming of the Drosophila head

    Steven A Calle-Schuler, Alexis Santana-Cruz ... Andrew M Seeds
    A synaptic-resolution map reveals how spatially organized touch pathways in the fly brain shape aimed head grooming through parallel excitatory circuits and inhibitory control.

    Brain-wide arousal signals are segregated from movement planning in the superior colliculus of the macaque

    Richard Johnston, Matthew A Smith
    Arousal signals are present in the superior colliculus but appear to be organized in a way that they avoid directly triggering motor plans that lead to saccades.

    Growth in early infancy drives optimal brain functional connectivity which predicts cognitive flexibility in later childhood

    Chiara Bulgarelli, Anna Blasi ... The BRIGHT Study Team
    In Gambian infants, positive growth from 0 to 5 months of age predicted more mature brain networks, which in turn predicted cognitive outcomes at 3-5 years.
