    Brain representations of motion and position in the double-drift illusion

    Noah J Steinberg, Zvi N Roth ... Elisha Merriam
    The 'double-drift' illusion involves integration of retinal and non-retinal signals in the human visual cortex, providing evidence for a perceptual representation that incorporates extraretinal information.

    Principles of operation of a cerebellar learning circuit

    David J Herzfeld, Nathan J Hall ... Stephen G Lisberger
    Quantitative analysis of behavior coupled with computational modeling reveal the set of circuit-level principles that underlie cerebellar-dependent motor learning in smooth pursuit eye movements of monkeys across timescales.

    A global view of the aspiring physician-scientist

    Christopher S Williams, W Kimryn Rathmell ... Mone Zaidi
    Challenges faced by the declining global workforce of young physician-scientists are highlighted, and a unified view on how to revive and reinvigorate this critical pool of dual-trained physicians worldwide is provided.
  1. Research: Decoupling of the minority PhD talent pool and assistant professor hiring in medical school basic science departments in the US

    Kenneth D Gibbs Jr, Jacob Basson ... David A Broniatowski
    A systems-level analysis of the biomedical workforce in the US shows that current strategies to enhance faculty diversity are unlikely to have a significant impact, and that there is a need to increase the number of PhDs from underrepresented minority backgrounds who move on to postdoctoral positions.

    Primate amygdala neurons evaluate the progress of self-defined economic choice sequences

    Fabian Grabenhorst, Istvan Hernadi, Wolfram Schultz
    Neurons in the amygdala, a brain system usually associated with emotion, track progress during sequential reward-directed choices according to an internal plan in Rhesus macaques.
    1. Neuroscience

    Mechanisms that allow cortical preparatory activity without inappropriate movement

    Timothy R Darlington, Stephen G Lisberger
    The use of preparatory activity in the smooth eye movement region of the frontal eye fields as a visual-motor gain signal allows preparation to progress without inappropriate movement.

    Endotaxis: A neuromorphic algorithm for mapping, goal-learning, navigation, and patrolling

    Tony Zhang, Matthew Rosenberg ... Markus Meister
    A neural circuit model reveals how biological brains may implement rapid learning and navigation in complex spaces.
    1. Neuroscience

    Amygdala-cortical collaboration in reward learning and decision making

    Kate M Wassum
    A review of a neuronal circuit architecture that helps us to learn about rewarding events and then to use that information to support adaptive decision making.

    Neural activity ramps in frontal cortex signal extended motivation during learning

    Josue M Regalado, Ariadna Corredera Asensio ... Priyamvada Rajasethupathy
    Motivated animals learn to put in more effort and ignore distractions to reach their goals due to increased neural activity in the frontal cortex.

    A persistent behavioral state enables sustained predation of humans by mosquitoes

    Trevor R Sorrells, Anjali Pandey ... Leslie B Vosshall
    Brief fictive carbon dioxide sensation induced by optogenetics in the female mosquito induces long-lasting arousal and probing, explaining the persistent predatory behavior of this dangerous disease-vectoring insect.
