    Quantitative modeling of the emergence of macroscopic grid-like representations

    Ikhwan Bin Khalid, Eric T Reifenstein ... Richard Kempter
    A computational study quantifies how macroscopic grid-like representations may emerge in the human brain using different hypotheses and navigation patterns, indicating the need to further characterize properties of grid cells.

    Adverse impact of female reproductive signaling on age-dependent neurodegeneration after mild head trauma in Drosophila

    Changtian Ye, Ryan Ho ... James Q Zheng
    A head concussion model in fruit flies reveals that early-life exposure to mild concussions significantly increases the risk of late-life neurodegeneration, with females especially vulnerable due to reproductive factors.

    Opposing actions of co-released GABA and neurotensin on the activity of preoptic neurons and on body temperature

    Iustin V Tabarean
    Preoptic neurotensinergic neurons co-release GABA and neurotensin, triggering a rapid initial inhibition followed by a sustained excitation, and mice lacking GABA release from these neurons exhibit altered thermoregulation.
