    Long ascending propriospinal neurons provide flexible, context-specific control of interlimb coordination

    Amanda M Pocratsky, Courtney T Shepard ... David SK Magnuson
    Conditional silencing of long ascending propriospinal neurons disrupts interlimb coordination of the fore and hindlimb pairs, but in a highly context-specific manner.

    Dissociated sequential activity and stimulus encoding in the dorsomedial striatum during spatial working memory

    Hessameddin Akhlaghpour, Joost Wiskerke ... Ilana B Witten
    During a spatial working memory task, neurons in the dorsomedial striatum encode the sample stimulus most strongly towards the onset of the delay period, while they display sequential firing activity that more evenly spans the delay period.

    Local processing in neurites of VGluT3-expressing amacrine cells differentially organizes visual information

    Jen-Chun Hsiang, Keith P Johnson ... Daniel Kerschensteiner
    Neurite arbors of VGluT3-expressing amacrine cells (VG3-ACs) process visual information locally uniformly detecting object motion while varying in contrast preferences; and in spite of extensive overlap between arbors of neighboring cells population activity in the VG3-AC plexus encodes stimulus positions with subcellular precision.

    Existence and functions of a kisspeptin neuropeptide signaling system in a non-chordate deuterostome species

    Tianming Wang, Zheng Cao ... Naiming Zhou
    Identification and functional characterization of the first non-chordate kisspeptin neuropeptide system in the sea cucumber indicates the ancient origin of the intracellular signaling and physiological functions of this molecular system.

    A single pair of neurons links sleep to memory consolidation in Drosophila melanogaster

    Paula R Haynes, Bethany L Christmann, Leslie C Griffith
    Dorsal paired medial neurons, which are required for memory consolidation, promote sleep by inhibiting the excitation of mushroom body neurons.

    Dopaminergic modulation of the exploration/exploitation trade-off in human decision-making

    Karima Chakroun, David Mathar ... Jan Peters
    Dopamine attenuates exploration during decision-making via a reduction of neural tracking of uncertainty.

    The differentiation and integration of the hippocampal dorsoventral axis are controlled by two nuclear receptor genes

    Xiong Yang, Rong Wan ... Ke Tang
    Two intrinsic factors converge to govern the differentiation and integration of distinct characteristics of the hippocampus in mice.

    Natural variation in the Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying circuit modulates an intergenerational fitness trade-off

    Laure Mignerot, Clotilde Gimond ... Christian Braendle
    Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying behaviour shows pronounced variation in natural populations, making it a promising model to investigate the microevolution of a simple neural circuit.

    Reinforcement biases subsequent perceptual decisions when confidence is low, a widespread behavioral phenomenon

    Armin Lak, Emily Hueske ... Adam Kepecs
    Confidence-dependent reinforcement learning is active and produces trial-to-trial choice updating even in well-learned perceptual decisions without explicit reward biases, across species and sensory modalities.

    Myelination synchronizes cortical oscillations by consolidating parvalbumin-mediated phasic inhibition

    Mohit Dubey, Maria Pascual-Garcia ... Maarten HP Kole
    Demyelination disrupts fast inhibition of pyramidal neurons, thereby changing neocortical rhythms and causing the emergence of brief epileptic-like discharges.
