    Human neurocomputational mechanisms of guilt-driven and shame-driven altruistic behavior

    Ruida Zhu, Huanqing Wang ... Chao Liu
    Harm and responsibility differentially shape guilt and shame, which in turn drive compensatory behavior to varying extents.

    Rapid rebalancing of co-tuned ensemble activity in the auditory cortex

    HiJee Kang, Travis A Babola, Patrick O Kanold
    Holographic neuronal stimulation shows that auditory cortex neurons with shared functional properties rapidly adjust their responses during sensory processing, revealing a circuit-level mechanism that regulates overall network activity balance.

    Neural correlates and reinstatement of recent and remote memory in children and young adults

    Iryna Schommartz, Philip F Lembcke ... Yee Lee Shing
    Children show less robust memory retention overnight and after 2 weeks, with memories transforming more rapidly from detailed to gist-like neural representations, revealing less stable consolidation mechanisms than in adults.
