    Whole-brain mapping of spinal-projecting neurons in larval zebrafish

    Martin Carbo-Tano, Kevin Fidelin ... Claire Wyart
    The supraspinal system of larval zebrafish has been described, uncovering spinal projections from the telencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon, as well as numerous motor and neuromodulatory nuclei conserved with mammals.

    Revealing the benefit of eye motion for acuity under emulated cone loss

    Hannah K Doyle, James Fong ... Austin Roorda
    In the presence of emulated cone loss, eye movements are used to gather and integrate information, leading to improved letter acuity compared to a non-moving condition.

    Loose coupling between Ca2+ channels and release sensors as a synaptic correlate of higher-order brain function

    Grit Bornschein, Max Schwarze ... Hartmut Schmidt
    Identical pyramidal neuron synapses use distinct presynaptic calcium influx-transmitter release coupling architectures in prefrontal and primary somatosensory cortices, shaping synaptic properties to support area-specific cortical functions.
