   Sex differences in learning from exploration

   Cathy S Chen et al.

   A new computational analysis of decision making in mice shows sex biases in value-updating while exploring unknown options, with male mice tending to explore longer than females due to updating values more slowly.

   Juxtacellular opto-tagging of hippocampal CA1 neurons in freely moving mice

   Lingjun Ding et al.

   The combination of juxtacellular recordings with optogenetics in freely moving mice enables the targeting of genetically defined cell classes for high-resolution, single-cell structure–function analysis.

   Synaptic targets of photoreceptors specialized to detect color and skylight polarization in Drosophila

   Emil Kind et al.

   The fly connectome reveals dedicated cell types for processing specific kinds of visual information such as color or skylight polarization.

   BNP facilitates NMB-encoded histaminergic itch via NPRC-NMBR crosstalk

   Qing-Tao Meng et al.

   B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) modulates itch via BNP-NPRC pathway by enhancing NMB-NMBR signaling, which is independently of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP)-GRPR signaling in the spinal cord.

   Motor planning brings human primary somatosensory cortex into action-specific preparatory states

   Giacomo Ariani et al.

   Movement planning elicits finger-specific activity in primary somatosensory cortex that is strongly correlated to the finger-specific activity elicited during movement execution.

   Distributed coding of duration in rodent prefrontal cortex during time reproduction

   Josephine Henke et al.

   Mixed responses in single cells or distributed across a local population of neurons can explain regression effects during time reproduction.

    Archerfish number discrimination

    Davide Potrich et al.

    Archerfish (Toxotes jaculatrix) can encode an abstract concept of number in relative numerousness judgements, without the influence of any continuous physical variables, including spatial frequency.
