    Paraventricular thalamus hyperactivity mediates stress-induced sensitization of unlearned fear but not stress-enhanced fear learning (SEFL)

    Kenji J Nishimura, Denisse Paredes ... Michael R Drew
    Chemogenetic and in vivo recording approaches reveal how persistent hyperactivity in the posterior paraventricular thalamus promotes sensitization of fear responses to unlearned threats after stress exposure.

    Neural signatures of model-based and model-free reinforcement learning across prefrontal cortex and striatum

    Bruno Miranda, James L Butler ... Steven W Kennerley
    Single-neuron recordings reveal that anterior cingulate cortex and caudate nucleus encode the interaction between rewards, state transitions, and choices that underlies flexible, goal-directed decision-making.

    Tunable Bessel beam two-photon fluorescence microscopy for high-speed volumetric imaging of brain dynamics

    Mengyang Jacky Li, Jinghui Wang ... Tian-Ming Fu
    Tunable Bessel beam two-photon fluorescence microscopy enables high-speed volumetric intravital imaging of subcellular dynamics within living mouse brains with fully tunable spatial resolution and volume coverage, allowing flexible sampling and measurements of vascular, neuronal, and immune dynamics.

    Material damage to multielectrode arrays after electrolytic lesioning is insignificant

    Alice Tor, Stephen E Clarke ... Paul Nuyujukian
    An analysis of the largest publicly available collection of scanning electron microscopy images of explanted multielectrode arrays reveals that electrolytic lesioning causes no significant additional damage to array electrodes.

    Multi-timescale neural adaptation underlying long-term musculoskeletal reorganization

    Roland Philipp, Yuki Hara ... Kazuhiko Seki
    Long-term motor recovery after musculoskeletal alteration relies on gradually developing novel compensatory movements to overcome the rigid, maladaptive timing of stable muscle synergies.
