A novel method of electrical stimulation to precisely control neural activity for sensory restoration exhibits improvements in visual stimulus reconstruction, enables efficient hardware design, and extends to naturalistic conditions.
In the CA1 region of the hippocampus, VTA inputs signal reward proximity while LC inputs respond to novelty, illustrating distinct catecholaminergic roles in hippocampal processing during navigation and learning.

The recurrent temporal restricted Boltzmann machine applied to whole-brain neuronal recordings from larval zebrafish brains provides substantial advantages in discovering the neuronal assembly structure and their connectivity.
A global reduction in tRNA differentially affects brain regions and tissues in a mouse model of Polr3-related disease leading to activation of integrated stress and innate immune responses and neurodegeneration.
Causal investigation of engram ensembles shows that natural forgetting is an active and reversible process driven by perceptual feedback, supporting the perspective of forgetting an adaptive function of the brain.
Quantitative models for responses of rod and cone photoreceptors are developed that allow direct tests of the impact of the photoreceptors on responses of downstream visual neurons.
