    Auditory perception and neural representation of temporal features are altered by age but not by cochlear synaptopathy

    Friederike Steenken, Rainer Beutelmann ... Georg M Klump
    In aging gerbils, compromised temporal fine structure perception is explained by a more prominent representation in auditory nerve fibers of temporal fluctuations of the signal envelope, rather than by synaptopathy.

    Human adherent cortical organoids in a multi-well format

    Mark van der Kroeg, Sakshi Bansal ... Femke MS de Vrij
    Human stem cell-derived adherent cortical organoids in 384-well plates provide a reproducible, long-term cortical organoid platform with neurons, glia, and robust network activity, enabling scalable disease modeling and therapeutic screening.

    Hugin-AstA circuitry is a novel central energy sensor that directly regulates sweet sensation in Drosophila and mouse

    Wusa Qin, Tingting Song ... Rui Huang
    A conserved neuropeptidergic circuit directly links internal glucose levels to sweet taste sensitivity, providing a central mechanism for coupling metabolic state to feeding behavior.
