    Dynamics and maintenance of categorical responses in primary auditory cortex during task engagement

    Rupesh K Chillale, Shihab Shamma ... Yves Boubenec
    Primary auditory cortex shows population-level correlates of sound categorization, with categorical patterns emerging during sound presentation and task engagement leading to asymmetrical representation of stimuli, indicating an early involvement in stimulus categorization.

    A generative model of electrophysiological brain responses to stimulation

    Diego Vidaurre
    Genephys is a generative model for dissecting the different aspects that compound our neural responses to perceptual stimulation, identifying which aspects remain stable and which ones vary across experimental repetitions.

    14-3-3 protein augments the protein stability of phosphorylated spastin and promotes the recovery of spinal cord injury through its agonist intervention

    Qiuling Liu, Hua Yang ... Zhisheng Ji
    14-3-3 protein augments the protein stability of phosphorylated spastin and promotes the recovery of spinal cord injury in mice.

    Neuroendocrine gene expression coupling of interoceptive bacterial food cues to foraging behavior of C. elegans

    Sonia A Boor, Joshua D Meisel, Dennis H Kim
    Distinct interoceptive and gustatory bacterial food cues converge to control neuroendocrine gene expression in two neurons, which modulates and is correlated with internal states driving feeding versus foraging behavior.

    Serial attentional resource allocation during parallel feature value tracking

    Christian Merkel, Luise Burgmann ... Jens-Max Hopf
    The strong limitation of human subjects in tracking two color streams simultaneously as they independently traverse color space can be attributed to attention alternating slowly and sequentially between streams.

    Neuroimaging and behavioral evidence that violent video games exert no negative effect on human empathy for pain and emotional reactivity to violence

    Lukas Leopold Lengersdorff, Isabella C Wagner ... Claus Lamm
    After playing violent video games for 7 hr over the course of 2 weeks, human male participants show neither signs of decreased empathy for the pain of another person nor of decreased responsivity to violent images.

    Empathy: Exploring the impact of violence in video games

    Nicolas Roy, Michel-Pierre Coll
    Playing a violent game for a few weeks did not alter neural and behavioral responses to the pain of others in inexperienced male gamers.

    Interaction of human keratinocytes and nerve fiber terminals at the neuro-cutaneous unit

    Christoph Erbacher, Sebastian Britz ... Nurcan Üçeyler
    Sensory nerve fiber ending ensheathment and connexin 43 contacts by keratinocytes at the neuro-cutaneous unit can be visualized and quantified at super-resolution in human skin.

    Resting-state alterations in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia are related to the distribution of monoamine and GABA neurotransmitter systems

    Lisa Hahn, Simon B Eickhoff ... Matthias L Schroeter
    Local brain functional activity reductions in bvFTD follow the distribution of serotonergic, GABAergic, and norepinephrinergic neurotransmitter systems, indicating a selective vulnerability and providing novel insights into the underlying disease mechanisms.

    Toolkits for detailed and high-throughput interrogation of synapses in C. elegans

    Maryam Majeed, Haejun Han ... Hang Lu
    An imaging pipeline together with a collection of transgenic nematode strains provide a strategy to visualize and properly quantify synaptic connectivity in the C. elegans brain.
