    From histology to macroscale function in the human amygdala

    Hans Auer, Donna Gift Cabalo ... Jessica Royer
    A data-driven exploration of amygdala microstructure captures this region's subnuclear structure and dissociates its cortical functional connectivity profiles.

    CryoEM structures of Kv1.2 potassium channels, conducting and non-conducting

    Yangyu Wu, Yangyang Yan ... Fred J Sigworth
    The well-studied Kv1.2 potassium ion channel is observed in a variety of states and conditions, to understand mechanisms of ion permeation, gating and block.

    Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) activity is modulated by light and gates rapid phase shifts of the circadian clock

    Andrea Brenna, Micaela Borsa ... Urs Albrecht
    The light-modulated protein kinase CDK5 is important for phase shifts of the circadian clock, impacting phase delays through calcium influx and signaling pathways, crucial for adapting to jet lag.

    Brain areas for reversible symbolic reference, a potential singularity of the human brain

    Timo van Kerkoerle, Louise Pape ... Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz
    Humans spontaneously reverse learned associations while macaque monkeys do not, providing a minimal test of a distinctive human capacity for symbolic representations.

    Multimodal mismatch responses in mouse auditory cortex

    Magdalena Solyga, Georg B Keller
    Audiomotor mismatch responses in auditory cortex are amplified by concurrent visuomotor mismatches, highlighting non-hierarchical and multimodal processing of prediction errors.

    Decoding the physics of observed actions in the human brain

    Moritz F Wurm, Doruk Yiğit Erigüç
    Inferior parietal and lateral occipitotemporal cortex encode the effects of actions at an abstract level of representation, independently of the body movements that induce them.

    Parabrachial CGRP neurons modulate active defensive behavior under a naturalistic threat

    Gyeong Hee Pyeon, Hyewon Cho ... Yong Sang Jo
    CGRP neurons act as a general alarm system, modulating various defensive behaviors based on magnitude of threat.

    Disruption of the CRF1 receptor eliminates morphine-induced sociability deficits and firing of oxytocinergic neurons in male mice

    Alessandro Piccin, Anne-Emilie Allain ... Angelo Contarino
    Both genetic and pharmacological studies reveal an essential role for the CRF1 receptor in social behavior deficits induced by a single morphine administration in male, but not in female, mice.

    Early-life stress induces persistent astrocyte dysfunction associated with fear generalisation

    Mathias Guayasamin, Lewis R Depaauw-Holt ... Ciaran Murphy-Royal
    Amygdala astrocytes play a critical role in mediating the effects of stress during infancy on neuronal excitability, synaptic plasticity, and memory.
