    Foggy perception slows us down

    Paolo Pretto, Jean-Pierre Bresciani ... Heinrich H Bülthoff
    Virtual reality experiments show that motorists slow down when driving in fog, but they speed up when visibility is reduced equally at all distances.

    Unsupervised learning of haptic material properties

    Anna Metzger, Matteo Toscani
    Perceptual haptic representation of materials emerges from unsupervised learning as a consequence of efficient encoding of the physical signals at the input of tactile sensory system.

    Mice and primates use distinct strategies for visual segmentation

    Francisco J Luongo, Lu Liu ... Doris Y Tsao
    The behavioral ability of mice and treeshrews to detect visual figures is highly texture dependent, unlike that of primates including macaques and mouse lemurs, and neural responses to figures in mouse visual cortex are similarly texture dependent.

    Efficient coding of natural scene statistics predicts discrimination thresholds for grayscale textures

    Tiberiu Tesileanu, Mary M Conte ... Vijay Balasubramanian
    An optimization principle allows natural-image data to predict human sensitivity to synthetic, un-natural textures with multiple gray levels.

    Neural dynamics at successive stages of the ventral visual stream are consistent with hierarchical error signals

    Elias B Issa, Charles F Cadieu, James J DiCarlo
    Neural spiking responses in the visual cortex carry both an explicit representation of the presence of a face and a late-arriving, explicit encoding of errors in face estimation.

    Mediodorsal thalamus is required for discrete phases of goal-directed behavior in macaques

    Evan Wicker, Janita Turchi ... Patrick A Forcelli
    Transient suppression of activity in the macaque mediodorsal thalamus impairs adjustment of secondary reinforcer values and disrupts appropriate action selection in a reinforcer devaluation task; this profile is distinct from that of amygdala or subregions of orbitofrontal cortex.

    Selfee, self-supervised features extraction of animal behaviors

    Yinjun Jia, Shuaishuai Li ... Wei Zhang
    Selfee, a self-supervised learning approach, is designed to extract comprehensive and discriminative features directly from raw videos of animal behaviors which can be used for in-depth analysis.

    Oxytocin administration enhances pleasantness and neural responses to gentle stroking but not moderate pressure social touch by increasing peripheral concentrations

    Yuanshu Chen, Haochen Zou ... Keith M Kendrick
    A randomized placebo-controlled trial with behavioral, neuroimaging, and physiological measures reveals that oxytocin treatment facilitates pleasure and brain reward responses only to gentle stroking social touch by increasing peripheral blood concentrations.

    Defective memory engram reactivation underlies impaired fear memory recall in Fragile X syndrome

    Jie Li, Rena Y Jiang ... Lu Chen
    Activity-dependent genetic labeling during behavioral learning shows Fragile-X syndrome model mice exhibit impaired hippocampal engram reactivation, and that enriched environment experience improves fear memory retrieval by enhancing engram reactivation efficacy.

    A versatile pipeline for the multi-scale digital reconstruction and quantitative analysis of 3D tissue architecture

    Hernán Morales-Navarrete, Fabián Segovia-Miranda ... Yannis Kalaidzidis
    MotionTracking is freely available software that can generate multi-scale geometrical models of mammalian tissue and perform quantitative analysis of tissue architecture.
