    Executive resources shape the impact of language predictability across the adult lifespan

    Merle Marie Schuckart, Sandra Martin ... Jonas Obleser
    Analyses of self-paced reading times reveal that linguistic prediction deteriorates under limited executive resources, with this resource sensitivity becoming markedly more pronounced with advancing age.

    Microglia replacement by ER-Hoxb8 conditionally immortalized macrophages provides insight into Aicardi–Goutières syndrome neuropathology

    Kelsey M Nemec, Genevieve Uy ... F Chris Bennett
    A microglia replacement approach demonstrates that brain macrophages with patient mutations from Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, a genetic, brain predominant interferonopathy, are sufficient to drive interferon responses.

    Directed differentiation of functional corticospinal-like neurons from endogenous SOX6+/NG2+ cortical progenitors

    Abdulkadir Ozkan, Hari K Padmanabhan ... Jeffrey D Macklis
    Developmentally-based directed differentiation from cortical progenitors sets a foundation for in vitro mechanistic and therapeutic disease modeling, and toward regenerative neuronal repopulation and circuit repair.

    TRPV3 channel activity helps cortical neurons stay active during fever

    Yiming Shen, Richárd Fiáth ... Michelle W Antoine
    Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C during fever.
