    Anterior cingulate cortex monitors action state and action content in complex associative learning

    Wenqiang Huang, Arron F Hall ... Dong V Wang
    ACC contains specialized neurons that sustain rich action-relevant information after action execution, enabling prolonged action monitoring, and supporting complex associative linking across events.

    Kinematic signatures in reaching movements during spaceflight provide evidence that humans underestimate body mass in microgravity

    Zhaoran Zhang, Yu Tian ... Kunlin Wei
    Model-based kinematic analyses link the movement slowing in spaceflight to body mass underestimation.

    Comparing the outputs of intramural and extramural grants funded by National Institutes of Health

    Xiang Zheng, Qiyao Yang ... B Ian Hutchins
    Funding mechanisms impact the cost effectiveness of the science conducted, as extramural NIH grants to universities excel at producing papers and citations, while intramural NIH hiring more effectively translates to clinical impact.

    The microtubule-binding protein EML3 is required for mammalian embryonic growth and cerebral cortical development, and Eml3 null mice are a model of cobblestone brain malformation

    Isabelle Carrier, Eduardo Diez ... Roderick McInnes
    Absence of EML3 in mice leads to delayed embryonic development, small size, perinatal lethality, and the over-migration of neuroblasts due to a defective pial basement membrane.
