   Apical length governs computational diversity of layer 5 pyramidal neurons

   Alessandro R Galloni et al.

   Layer 5 pyramidal neurons vary substantially in dendritic excitability between primary and secondary visual cortex, likely due to a counterintuitive amplifying effect of long apical dendrites.

   Tuning of feedforward control enables stable muscle force-length dynamics after loss of autogenic proprioceptive feedback

   Joanne C Gordon et al.

   Running guinea fowl maintain stable running after loss of the stretch reflex in a major ankle extensor muscle, by increasing feedforward muscle activation to maintain ankle stiffness and work output.

   Temporal selectivity declines in the aging human auditory cortex

   Julia Erb et al.

   Vestigial auriculomotor activity indicates the direction of auditory attention in humans

   Daniel J Strauss et al.

   Recordings of ear muscles in humans show that ears attempt to pivot in the direction that requires attention.

   Automated task training and longitudinal monitoring of mouse mesoscale cortical circuits using home cages

   Timothy H Murphy et al.

   A new methodology and protocol use automated brain imaging and task training technology to probe links between behavior and mouse cortical circuits.

   Temperature compensation in a small rhythmic circuit

   Leandro M Alonso, Eve Marder

   Computational models demonstrate that circuit resilience to temperature perturbations are associated with smooth transitions between cellular mechanisms as the contributions of different currents are altered while activity is maintained.

   Cortical ChAT+ neurons co-transmit acetylcholine and GABA in a target-and brain-region specific manner

   Adam J Granger et al.

   Receptor-driven, multimodal mapping of cortical areas in the macaque monkey intraparietal sulcus

   Meiqi Niu et al.

   Global sleep homeostasis reflects temporally and spatially integrated local cortical neuronal activity

   Christopher W Thomas et al.

   The global sleep homeostatic process tracks sleep-wake history by integrating local cortical neuronal activity over time and space, rather than directly reflecting changes in specific homeostatically regulated physiological variables.

    Fast and reversible neural inactivation in macaque cortex by optogenetic stimulation of GABAergic neurons

    Abhishek De et al.

    Optogenetic activation of cortical GABAergic cells in macaques yields robust and reversible behavioral deficits.
