    Death receptor 6 does not regulate axon degeneration and Schwann cell injury responses during Wallerian degeneration

    Bogdan Beirowski, Haoran Huang, Elisabetta Babetto
    Rigorous analysis in two knockout mouse lines demonstrates that death receptor 6 is not required for axon degeneration or Schwann cell injury responses following peripheral nerve transection.

    Psilocin fosters neuroplasticity in iPSC-derived human cortical neurons

    Malin Schmidt, Anne Hoffrichter ... Philipp Koch
    Psilocin induces a durable neuroplastic state in human cortical neurons by enhancing BDNF signaling, neurite complexity, synaptogenesis, and synaptic network activity through 5-HT2A receptor-dependent mechanisms.

    Visual information is broadcast among cortical areas in discrete channels

    Yiyi Yu, Jeffery N Stirman ... Spencer LaVere Smith
    Activity fluctuations, or noise correlations, are robust measures of neuronal connectivity and they reveal that neural circuity controls mixing of information at a granular level across millimeter-length scales.

    Contributions of insula and superior temporal sulcus to interpersonal guilt and responsibility in social decisions

    Maria Gädeke, Tom Eric Willems ... Johannes Schultz
    Being responsible for a partner's adverse outcomes is associated with anterior insula activation, while the superior temporal sulcus tracks prediction errors for the partner's reward resulting from the participant's decisions.
