    Resource-rational account of sequential effects in human prediction

    Arthur Prat-Carrabin, Florent Meyniel, Rava Azeredo da Silveira
    A proposed model of optimal inference under cognitive costs accounts for human sequential effects, including subtle patterns of attractive and repulsive influence of past observations, in a binary prediction task across a wide range of stimulus conditions.

    Normal mitochondrial function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become dependent on inefficient splicing

    Marina Rudan, Peter Bou Dib ... Anita Kriško
    Removal of mitochondrial introns (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) from their host genes leads to detrimental increase in their transcript levels.

    Preserved sensory processing but hampered conflict detection when stimulus input is task-irrelevant

    Stijn Adriaan Nuiten, Andrés Canales-Johnson ... Simon van Gaal
    When all features of conflicting sensory input are task-irrelevant, the brain can still process its sensory information, whereas conflict detection requires that minimally one stimulus feature is task-relevant or associated with a response.

    A connectome of the Drosophila central complex reveals network motifs suitable for flexible navigation and context-dependent action selection

    Brad K Hulse, Hannah Haberkern ... Vivek Jayaraman
    An analysis of the first complete synaptic resolution connectome of Drosophila's navigation circuit uncovers neural network motifs supporting broadly relevant sensorimotor computations.

    Large-scale network integration in the human brain tracks temporal fluctuations in memory encoding performance

    Ruedeerat Keerativittayayut, Ryuta Aoki ... Kiyoshi Nakahara
    Graph analysis revealed that spontaneous fluctuations of episodic-memory encoding performance associate with time-varying brain connectivity networks.

    Emergence of transformation-tolerant representations of visual objects in rat lateral extrastriate cortex

    Sina Tafazoli, Houman Safaai ... Davide Zoccolan
    Neuronal recordings from rat visual cortex reveal an object-processing pathway, along which neuronal representations become increasingly capable of supporting recognition of visual objects in spite of variation in their appearance.

    Rapid encoding of task regularities in the human hippocampus guides sensorimotor timing

    Ignacio Polti, Matthias Nau ... Christian F Doeller
    Hippocampal BOLD activity reflects behavioral performance and feedback in a fast-paced timing task, supporting the formation of task-specific yet flexible and generalizable sensorimotor representations in real time.
    1. Neuroscience

    Associative memory neurons of encoding multi-modal signals are recruited by neuroligin-3-mediated new synapse formation

    Yang Xu, Tian-liang Cui ... Jin-Hui Wang
    The coactivity of cortical neurons in associative learning recruits them as associative memory cells based on their synapse interconnections by neuroligin-3-mediated synapse formation, which endorses the first order and the second order of associative memory.

    Reconciling functional differences in populations of neurons recorded with two-photon imaging and electrophysiology

    Joshua H Siegle, Peter Ledochowitsch ... Saskia EJ de Vries
    Discrepancies between functional responses measured with electrophysiology and calcium imaging can be largely reconciled by considering the spike-to-calcium transfer function, neuronal sampling bias, and cluster merging artifacts during spike sorting.

    New Caledonian crows keep ‘valuable’ hooked tools safer than basic non-hooked tools

    Barbara C Klump, James JH St Clair, Christian Rutz
    Animals’ tool-handling behaviour can be used to make inferences about the value they ascribe to different tool types, unlocking considerable research potential for observational and experimental studies across diverse species.
