    1. Neuroscience

    Learning speed and detection sensitivity controlled by distinct cortico-fugal neurons in visual cortex

    Sarah Ruediger, Massimo Scanziani
    Neural pathways from mammalian visual cortex to ancestral brain structures control learning speed and performance of a simple detection task.
    1. Neuroscience

    Rapid learning of predictive maps with STDP and theta phase precession

    Tom M George, William de Cothi ... Caswell Barry
    A close approximation to the successor representation is learnt by a simple spike-time-dependent learning rule between cells undergoing theta phase precession.
    1. Neuroscience

    Emotional learning retroactively promotes memory integration through rapid neural reactivation and reorganization

    Yannan Zhu, Yimeng Zeng ... Shaozheng Qin
    Emotional learning retroactively promotes memory integration for previously neutral events into episodic memory to foster future event predictions, through rapidly stimulating trial-specific reactivation of overlapping memory traces and reorganization of associated memories among the amygdala, hippocampal, and neocortical circuits.

  4. Decoding behaviour: an interview with Fanny Cazettes

    Fanny Cazettes grew up in the south of France and majored in biomedical engineering at the Institut Superieur des BioSciences (ISBS) in Paris. She is currently a PhD student at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, where she investigates neural activity in owls using physiological, behavioural and computational modelling techniques. She will be applying for a postdoctoral position within the next few months.
    1. Neuroscience

    How many neurons are sufficient for perception of cortical activity?

    Henry WP Dalgleish, Lloyd E Russell ... Michael Häusser
    Targeted optogenetic activation of small ensembles of neurons is sufficient to trigger a behavioral report while recruiting matched network suppression, suggesting exquisite sensitivity despite network mechanisms that maintain sparseness.

  6. Connecting the flight controls: an interview with Tarjani Agrawal

    Tarjani Agrawal is currently completing her PhD in neurogenetics at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, India (NCBS). After her PhD, she would like to move abroad and continue working in research as a postdoctoral fellow.
    1. Neuroscience

    A selective effect of dopamine on information-seeking

    Valentina Vellani, Lianne P de Vries ... Tali Sharot
    L-DOPA administration increases information-seeking about potential losses without impacting information-seeking about potential gains, and as a result, it reduces the effect of valence on information-seeking.

    An incentive circuit for memory dynamics in the mushroom body of Drosophila melanogaster

    Evripidis Gkanias, Li Yan McCurdy ... Barbara Webb
    Modelling differential roles for identified dopaminergic and output neurons of the fruit fly mushroom bodies, combined with a novel dopaminergic plasticity rule, explains neural and behavioural phenomena in olfactory learning tasks.
    1. Ecology

    Inversion of pheromone preference optimizes foraging in C. elegans

    Martina Dal Bello, Alfonso Pérez-Escudero ... Jeff Gore
    Worms' attraction to pheromones turns into repulsion when a food patch is depleted, helping them avoid already exploited territories and search for new food sources.
    1. Neuroscience

    Neural activity tracking identity and confidence in social information

    Nadescha Trudel, Patricia L Lockwood ... Marco K Wittmann
    People's confidence in information and their neural correlates in key regions of the social brain are more stable when tracking social advice compared to non-social information.
