    Neural and computational processes underlying dynamic changes in self-esteem

    Geert-Jan Will, Robb B Rutledge ... Raymond J Dolan
    Self-esteem, the value that people ascribe to the self, is represented in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and dynamically updated when people learn how others value them.

    The olfactory critical period is determined by activity-dependent Sema7A/PlxnC1 signaling within glomeruli

    Nobuko Inoue, Hirofumi Nishizumi ... Hitoshi Sakano
    The critical period in the mouse olfactory system is defined by activity-dependent synapse formation induced by Semaphorin7A/PlexinC1 signaling in the neonatal glomeruli.

    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.

    Social aversive generalization learning sharpens the tuning of visuocortical neurons to facial identity cues

    Yannik Stegmann, Lea Ahrens ... Matthias J Wieser
    Measures of visuocortical activity during aversive generalization learning revealed sharpened representations of facial identity, reflecting inhibitory interactions between neuronal populations that represent facial features associated with threat versus safety.

    Travel fosters tool use in wild chimpanzees

    Thibaud Gruber, Klaus Zuberbühler, Christof Neumann
    Travel has a major influence on tool use in wild chimpanzees, suggesting that tool use reduced travel costs during hominid evolution.

    Point of View: The biospheric emergency calls for scientists to change tactics

    Fernando Racimo, Elia Valentini ... Julia B Halder
    The ever-worsening climate and ecological crises calls for life scientists to engage in advocacy and activism to galvanise governments and the public into action.

    Somatic and vicarious pain are represented by dissociable multivariate brain patterns

    Anjali Krishnan, Choong-Wan Woo ... Tor D Wager
    Understanding others' pain is grounded in cognitive rather than sensory faculties.

    Suppressed prefrontal neuronal firing variability and impaired social representation in IRSp53-mutant mice

    Woohyun Kim, Jae Jin Shin ... Eunjoon Kim
    Social deficits in IRSp53/Baiap2-mutant mice accompany decreases in prefrontal neuronal firing variability, burst firing, and social information decoding accuracy, and memantine-dependent NMDAR inhibition, which rescues social deficits, alleviates burst firing, suggesting that burst firing links NMDAR dysfunction with social deficits.

    Rat behavior and dopamine release are modulated by conspecific distress

    Nina T Lichtenberg, Brian Lee ... Matthew R Roesch
    Rat behavior and dopamine release are preferentially modulated by subjective rather than objective evaluation of outcomes in a social setting.

    Point of View: An annotated introductory reading list for neurodiversity

    Mirela Zaneva, Tao Coll-Martín ... Alyssa Hillary Zisk
    A collaboratively developed annotated reading list expands upon core themes in neurodiversity, aiming to enhance understanding and to promote rigorous, destigmatizing, and inclusive practices in research.
