    Diminished responses to bodily threat and blunted interoception in suicide attempters

    Danielle C DeVille, Rayus Kuplicki ... Sahib S Khalsa
    People who have attempted suicide exhibit blunted sensory processing during breathing and pain perturbations, as well as lower heartbeat perception accuracy and reduced mid/posterior insula activity during interoceptive attention.

    Modality-specific tracking of attention and sensory statistics in the human electrophysiological spectral exponent

    Leonhard Waschke, Thomas Donoghue ... Jonas Obleser
    Waschke and colleagues demonstrate that aperiodic EEG activity not only captures subtle attention-related changes in brain signals but also tracks 1/f-like sensory input.

    Local cortical desynchronization and pupil-linked arousal differentially shape brain states for optimal sensory performance

    Leonhard Waschke, Sarah Tune, Jonas Obleser
    The momentary levels of local cortical desynchronization and pupil-linked arousal pose dissociable influences not only on the processing of sensory information but also on human perceptual performance.

    Behavior: The cerebellum shows its stripes

    Ashley L Holloway, Talia N Lerner
    New studies examine how the different sub-structures in the cerebellum are organized to receive information during complex behavioral tasks.

    The effects of a deleterious mutation load on patterns of influenza A/H3N2's antigenic evolution in humans

    Katia Koelle, David A Rasmussen
    Deleterious mutations slow down flu's antigenic evolution, make it more punctuated in nature, and reduce the virus's genetic diversity.

    Connectomics of the zebrafish's lateral-line neuromast reveals wiring and miswiring in a simple microcircuit

    Eliot Dow, Adrian Jacobo ... A J Hudspeth
    The technique of serial blockface scanning electron microscopy, which permits the complete reconstruction of neuronal structures, allows comparison of the detailed "wiring diagrams" of lateral-line receptor organs in wild-type and mutant zebrafish.

    Vocal communication is tied to interpersonal arousal coupling in caregiver-infant dyads

    Sam Wass, Emily Phillips ... Louise Goupil
    Infants' vocalisations are contingent on their own stress physiology, and alter the inter-personal dynamics of how stress states are shared across the infant-caregiver dyad.

    Midbrain dopamine neurons signal aversion in a reward-context-dependent manner

    Hideyuki Matsumoto, Ju Tian ... Mitsuko Watabe-Uchida
    Dopamine neurons signal value prediction errors (VPEs) integrating information about both reward and aversion, in low reward contexts, whereas VPEs in some dopamine neurons are distorted in high reward contexts.

    Sex-specific transcriptomic responses to changes in the nutritional environment

    M Florencia Camus, Matthew DW Piper, Max Reuter
    Male and female Drosophila share core metabolic responses to different nutritional environments, but show opposing patterns of nutrient-dependent reproductive regulation.

    Whole-organism behavioral profiling reveals a role for dopamine in state-dependent motor program coupling in C. elegans

    Nathan Cermak, Stephanie K Yu ... Steven W Flavell
    Simultaneous quantification of each of the main motor programs in the roundworm C. elegans yields new insights into the neural mechanisms that coordinate animal behavior.
