    Contributions of insula and superior temporal sulcus to interpersonal guilt and responsibility in social decisions

    Maria Gädeke, Tom Eric Willems ... Johannes Schultz
    Being responsible for a partner's adverse outcomes is associated with anterior insula activation, while the superior temporal sulcus tracks prediction errors for the partner's reward resulting from the participant's decisions.

    Visual information is broadcast among cortical areas in discrete channels

    Yiyi Yu, Jeffery N Stirman ... Spencer LaVere Smith
    Activity fluctuations, or noise correlations, are robust measures of neuronal connectivity and they reveal that neural circuity controls mixing of information at a granular level across millimeter-length scales.

    Superoxide dismutases maintain niche homeostasis in stem cell populations

    Olivia Majhi, Aishwarya Chhatre ... Devanjan Sinha
    Superoxide dismutases, particularly Sod1, differentially tune redox signaling of germline and cyst stem cells, enabling their self-renewal and differentiation, thereby maintaining Drosophila testicular stem cell homeostasis.

    Dynamic regulation of mRNA acetylation at synapses by spatial memory in mouse hippocampus

    Hai-Qian Zhou, Zhen Zhu ... Dong-Min Yin
    NAT10-mediated mRNA acetylation links neural activity to local protein synthesis at synapses, influencing memory consolidation.

    Alcohol attenuates CRF-induced excitatory effects from the extended amygdala to dorsostriatal cholinergic interneurons

    Amanda Essoh, Xueyi Xie ... Jun Wang
    Stress-related corticotropin-releasing factor signaling directly modulates striatal cholinergic circuits, and alcohol exposure disrupts this control, revealing a circuit mechanism linking stress, alcohol use, and impaired behavioral flexibility.
