    A model for regulation by SynGAP-α1 of binding of synaptic proteins to PDZ-domain 'Slots' in the postsynaptic density

    Ward G Walkup IV, Tara L Mastro ... Mary B Kennedy
    The α1 isoform of synGAP restricts the binding of AMPA-receptors and other regulatory proteins to PSD-95, and thus regulates synaptic strength.

    More homogeneous capillary flow and oxygenation in deeper cortical layers correlate with increased oxygen extraction

    Baoqiang Li, Tatiana V Esipova ... Sava Sakadžić
    Resting-state capillary blood flow and oxygenation are more homogeneous in the deeper cortical layers, underpinning an important mechanism by which the microvascular network adapts to an increased local oxidative metabolism.

    Dorsal raphe nucleus to anterior cingulate cortex 5-HTergic neural circuit modulates consolation and sociability

    Laifu Li, Li-Zi Zhang ... Fa-Dao Tai
    Inhibition of 5-HT neurons in the dorsal raphe nuclei or 5-HT terminals in the anterior cingulate cortex decreased consolation-like behaviors and reduced sociability.

    A methylation-phosphorylation switch controls EZH2 stability and hematopoiesis

    Pengfei Guo, Rebecca C Lim ... Hui Zhang
    EZH2 is regulated by a K20-methylation dependent proteolysis and this proteolysis process is negatively controlled by AKT-mediated S21 phosphorylation to establish a methylation-phosphorylation switch to control the PRC2 activity and hematopoiesis.

    The ER tether VAPA is required for proper cell motility and anchors ER-PM contact sites to focal adhesions

    Hugo Siegfried, Georges Farkouh ... Mélina L Heuzé
    Depletion of VAPA in cancer cells induces defects in actin organization, adhesion dynamics and cell migration, together with a perturbation of phosphoinositide levels at the plasma membrane and a lack of anchoring of ER-PM contact sites to focal adhesions.

    Intramolecular domain dynamics regulate synaptic MAGUK protein interactions

    Nils Rademacher, Benno Kuropka ... Sarah A Shoichet
    Binding of ligands to PSD-95 PDZ domains induces a conformational change within the C-terminal domain module that enables differential binding to synaptic interactors.

    Three-dimensional multi-site random access photostimulation (3D-MAP)

    Yi Xue, Laura Waller ... Nicolas Pégard
    A one-photon three-dimensional light sculpture technique has been developed and demonstrated for high spatio-temporal resolution photostimulation and imaging of dozens of neurons in the intact mouse brain in vivo.

    Toward a more informative representation of the fetal–neonatal brain connectome using variational autoencoder

    Jung-Hoon Kim, Josepheen De Asis-Cruz ... Catherine Limperopoulos
    A nonlinear deep generative model can represent fetal–neonatal resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging better than conventional linear models.

    Disynaptic cerebrocerebellar pathways originating from multiple functionally distinct cortical areas

    Julia U Henschke, Janelle MP Pakan
    Anatomical projections from sensory, motor, and association cortex to the cerebellum are precisely mapped, including cortical-precerebellar connections and terminal organization, providing insight into how the cerebellum may utilize cortical information.

    Modeling Hsp70/Hsp40 interaction by multi-scale molecular simulations and coevolutionary sequence analysis

    Duccio Malinverni, Alfredo Jost Lopez ... Alessandro Barducci
    Integration of complementary computational approaches reveals an evolutionarily conserved interaction interface between molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp40, rationalizing previous observations.
