    A direct neural signature of serial dependence in working memory

    Cora Fischer, Jochen Kaiser, Christoph Bledowski
    Magnetoencephalographic recordings revealed a direct neural signature of serial dependence, that is, an attractive bias of current toward previous representations, which emerged at late, post-encoding stages of processing in working memory.

    The geometry and dimensionality of brain-wide activity

    Zezhen Wang, Weihao Mai ... Quan Wen
    Neural activity patterns in randomly sampled neuron groups statistically match whole-brain dynamics, revealing a scale-invariant organizational principle that enables robust and efficient computation across brain regions and species.

    Cognitive control of behavior and hippocampal information processing without medial prefrontal cortex

    Eun Hye Park, Kally C O'Reilly Sparks ... André A Fenton
    Rodent medial prefrontal cortex is not crucial for an active place avoidance task requiring cognitive control evidenced by hippocampal activity that purposefully alternates between task-relevant and task-irrelevant representations of the environment.

    Brain-derived exosomal hemoglobin transfer contributes to neuronal mitochondrial homeostasis under hypoxia

    Zhengming Tian, Yuning Li ... Jia Liu
    Exosomal mRNA transfer from non-neuronal cells to neurons under hypoxia drives hemoglobin expression and preserves mitochondrial homeostasis as an intercellular protective mechanism.
