    Future movement plans interact in sequential arm movements

    Mehrdad Kashefi, Sasha Reschechtko ... J Andrew Pruszynski
    To ensure smooth sequential actions, reaches to at least two future targets are planned during the execution of the current reach and the planning processes of the future reaches interact.

    Quantitative modeling of the emergence of macroscopic grid-like representations

    Ikhwan Bin Khalid, Eric T Reifenstein ... Richard Kempter
    A computational study quantifies how macroscopic grid-like representations may emerge in the human brain using different hypotheses and navigation patterns, indicating the need to further characterize properties of grid cells.

    Adverse impact of female reproductive signaling on age-dependent neurodegeneration after mild head trauma in Drosophila

    Changtian Ye, Ryan Ho ... James Q Zheng
    A head concussion model in fruit flies reveals that early-life exposure to mild concussions significantly increases the risk of late-life neurodegeneration, with females especially vulnerable due to reproductive factors.

    Opposing actions of co-released GABA and neurotensin on the activity of preoptic neurons and on body temperature

    Iustin V Tabarean
    Preoptic neurotensinergic neurons co-release GABA and neurotensin, triggering a rapid initial inhibition followed by a sustained excitation, and mice lacking GABA release from these neurons exhibit altered thermoregulation.

    Differential increase of hippocampal subfield volume after socio-affective mental training relates to reductions in diurnal cortisol

    Sofie Louise Valk, Veronika Engert ... Tania Singer
    Socio-emotional behavioral intervention links to changes in the structure and function of hippocampal subfields, in particular CA1-3, and reductions in cortisol levels in healthy adults.

    Dynamic control of sequential retrieval speed in networks with heterogeneous learning rules

    Maxwell Gillett, Nicolas Brunel
    Low-dimensional external inputs are sufficient to control the speed of sequential activity, and to transition between persistent activity, in a network of neurons with both temporally symmetric and asymmetric learning.

    Sex-dependent, lateralized engagement of anterior insular cortex inputs to the dorsolateral striatum in binge alcohol drinking

    David L Haggerty, Brady K Atwood
    Engagement of anterior insular cortex projections to the dorsolateral striatum underpins sex-differences in binge alcohol consumption behaviors.

    Feedback inhibition by a descending GABAergic neuron regulates timing of escape behavior in Drosophila larvae

    Jiayi Zhu, Jean-Christophe Boivin ... Tomoko Ohyama
    Connectomic, optogenetic, and high-throughput behavioral analyses identify a descending neuron in the fruit fly larval brain that modifies the timing of nociception-induced rolling.

    Auditory confounds can drive online effects of transcranial ultrasonic stimulation in humans

    Benjamin R Kop, Yazan Shamli Oghli ... Lennart Verhagen
    Realizing the clinical and neuroscientific potential of transcranial ultrasonic stimulation (TUS) requires careful control of the peripheral auditory confounds that underlie previously reported online motor inhibitory effects.

    Interrogating basal ganglia circuit function in people with Parkinson’s disease and dystonia

    Srdjan Sumarac, Kiah A Spencer ... Luka Milosevic
    The hypo- versus hyperkinetic nature of Parkinson’s disease and dystonia, respectively, may be reflected by differences in disease-specific spiketrain dynamics and striato-pallidal synaptic plasticity.
