    Modulation of human dorsal root ganglion neuron excitability by Nav1.7 inhibition

    Akie Fujita, Sooyeon Jo ... Bruce P Bean
    Inhibition of Nav1.7 sodium channels in human dorsal root ganglion neurons had larger effects to reduce threshold and upstroke velocity of action potentials compared to Nav1.8 inhibition but smaller effects to reduce repetitive firing of action potentials.

    Large language models poorly capture how word order shapes representations of sentence meaning in the human brain

    James Fodor, Carsten Murawski, Shinsuke Suzuki
    Representations from models that explicitly encode semantic roles (who did what to whom) align better with activity in language regions of the brain than representations from transformers do.

    Morphology and ultrastructure of pharyngeal sense organs of Drosophila larvae

    Vincent Richter, Tilman Triphan ... Andreas S Thum
    Comprehensive ultrastructural reconstruction of the Drosophila larval pharyngeal sensory system reveals the organization and diversity of its sensory structures and enables future investigations into sensory processing, feeding decisions, and behavior.
