   Single-particle cryo-EM structure of a voltage-activated potassium channel in lipid nanodiscs

   Doreen Matthies et al.

   The structure of a voltage-activated potassium channel in lipid nanodiscs solved using cryo-electron microscopy is similar to previous X-ray structures, and provides insights into the mechanism of C-type inactivation.

   Cryo-EM structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils

   Ricardo Guerrero-Ferreira et al.

   The alpha-synuclein fibril structure reported here buries residues 50-57 at the interface between its two protofilaments, suggesting that familial Parkinson's disease associated mutations in these residues lead to a structure not compatible with the one presented here.

   Effects of spinal cord stimulation on postural control in Parkinson's disease patients with freezing of gait

   Andrea Cristina de Lima-Pardini et al.

   High-frequency stimulation of the upper thoracic spinal cord corrects anticipatory postural adjustments and improving gait efficiency and inhibiting freezing of gait episodes in advanced Parkinson's disease.

   Functional gradients of the cerebellum

   Xavier Guell et al.

   Cerebellar functional regions follow a gradual organization, which progresses from primary (motor) to transmodal (Default Mode Network) regions, and a secondary axis extends from task-unfocused to task-focused processing.

   Stimulus vignetting and orientation selectivity in human visual cortex

   Zvi N Roth et al.

   Functional MRI measurements of orientation reflect coarse-scale biases that are wholly determined by second-order interactions between the stimulus aperture and the underlying orientation.
