    Subthalamic beta-targeted neurofeedback speeds up movement initiation but increases tremor in Parkinsonian patients

    Shenghong He, Abteen Mostofi ... Huiling Tan
    Patients with Parkinson's disease can be trained to self-suppress beta bursts in subthalamic nucleus, which was accompanied by quicker reaction times when prompted to move but increased tremor.

    Inhibition of itch by neurokinin 1 receptor (Tacr1) -expressing ON cells in the rostral ventromedial medulla in mice

    Taylor Follansbee, Dan Domocos ... Earl Carstens
    Activation of Tacr1-expressing neurons including ON cells in the rostral ventromedial medulla inhibits acute and chronic itch-related behavior.

    Structure of the human ATM kinase and mechanism of Nbs1 binding

    Christopher Warren, Nikola P Pavletich
    Structures of the human ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase alone and bound to the C-terminus of Nbs1 show the mechanisms underlying ATM autoinhibition and binding by a portion of the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) activating complex.

    A spinoparabrachial circuit defined by Tacr1 expression drives pain

    Arnab Barik, Anupama Sathyamurthy ... Alexander Chesler
    A circuit involving Tacr1-expressing neurons in the spinal cord and the parabrachial nucleus controls how mice respond to a wide range of persistently painful stimuli.

    Fatigue induces long-lasting detrimental changes in motor-skill learning

    Meret Branscheidt, Panagiotis Kassavetis ... Pablo Celnik
    A series of experiments shows how muscle fatigue impairs motor-skill learning on subsequent practice days beyond its effects on task execution.

    Parabrachial CGRP neurons modulate active defensive behavior under a naturalistic threat

    Gyeong Hee Pyeon, Hyewon Cho ... Yong Sang Jo
    CGRP neurons act as a general alarm system, modulating various defensive behaviors based on magnitude of threat.

    Dual engagement of the nucleosomal acidic patches is essential for deposition of histone H2A.Z by SWR1C

    Alexander S Baier, Nathan Gioacchini ... Craig L Peterson
    Nucleosome recognition by the SWR1C chromatin remodeling enzyme requires both nucleosomal acidic patches.

    High-resolution structures of kinesin on microtubules provide a basis for nucleotide-gated force-generation

    Zhiguo Shang, Kaifeng Zhou ... Charles V Sindelar
    Microtubule attachment fundamentally modifies kinesin's behavior by triggering a ‘clamshell’ opening of the nucleotide cleft, subsequently reversed by ATP binding, that couples to cargo translocation.

    Fluid mechanics of luminal transport in actively contracting endoplasmic reticulum

    Pyae Hein Htet, Edward Avezov, Eric Lauga
    The viscous hydraulics of contracting endoplasmic reticulum networks challenge common solute transport theories, suggesting the contraction of peripheral sheets as a plausible driving mechanism.

    The structure-selective endonucleases GEN1 and MUS81 mediate complementary functions in safeguarding the genome of proliferating B lymphocytes

    Keith Conrad Fernandez, Laura Feeney ... Jayanta Chaudhuri
    A novel conditional mouse model to interrogate the requirements of structure-selective endonucleases in the development, functionality, and genome stability of B lymphocytes.
