    Prolonged oscillating preoptic area kisspeptin neuron activity underlies the preovulatory luteinizing hormone surge in mice

    Ziyue Zhou, Cheng-Yu Huang, Allan Edward Herbison
    High levels of circulating estradiol enable the RP3V kisspeptin neuron population to exhibit long-lasting synchronized oscillatory behavior that drives GnRH neurons to initiate the LH surge.

    Canonical neurodevelopmental trajectories of structural and functional manifolds

    Alicja Monaghan, Richard AI Bethlehem ... Duncan E Astle
    Contrary to prior work, principal axes of structural and functional connectivity are established early in life, remaining stable and undergoing refinement throughout development.

    Continuous flash suppression of neural responses and population orientation coding in macaque V1

    Cai-Xia Chen, Xin Wang ... Cong Yu
    Continuous flash suppression reduces V1 orientation responses in an ocular-dominance-dependent manner, which may still allow low-level coarse orientation discrimination but provide insufficient information for higher-level visual and cognitive tasks.
