    Heterogeneous presynaptic receptive fields contribute to directional tuning in starburst amacrine cells

    John A Gaynes, Samuel A Budoff ... Alon Poleg-Polsky
    A combination of glutamate imaging, multicompartmental modeling, and machine learning elucidates the peak theoretical and actual contributions of heterogeneous kinetics of presynaptic inputs to the computation of directional selectivity in retinal starburst amacrine cells.

    Sensory neurons couple arousal and foraging decisions in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Elias Scheer, Cornelia I Bargmann
    A long-term arousal state is linked to the acute decision to leave a food patch by sensory neurons that integrate neuromodulatory information, food intake, and environmental signals.

    Imaging microglia surveillance during sleep-wake cycles in freely behaving mice

    Xiaochun Gu, Zhong Zhao ... Heping Cheng
    Using long-term in vivo imaging with miniature two-photon microscopy, microglia surveillance is sleep state-dependent and stress-induced in freely behaving mice, regulated by the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system and β2-adrenergic receptors signaling.

    Microglia facilitate and stabilize the response to general anesthesia via modulating the neuronal network in a brain region-specific manner

    Yang He, Taohui Liu ... Bo Peng
    Microglia differentially modulate the neuronal activities via P2Y12 and its downstream Ca2+ signaling in a brain region-specific manner, which facilitates and stabilizes the response to general anesthesia.

    PAK3 downregulation induces cognitive impairment following cranial irradiation

    Haksoo Lee, Hyunkoo Kang ... BuHyun Youn
    p21-activated kinase 3 (PAK3) is a factor related to radiation-induced cognitive decline, and it has been found that regulating it leads to the recovery of cognitive decline induced by radiation.

    Suggestion of creatine as a new neurotransmitter by approaches ranging from chemical analysis and biochemistry to electrophysiology

    Xiling Bian, Jiemin Zhu ... Yi Rao
    While neurotransmitters were discovered decades ago, evidence suggests that more transmitters are to be discovered using the presented approaches.

    CRISPR-Cas9 knockdown of ESR1 in preoptic GABA-kisspeptin neurons suppresses the preovulatory surge and estrous cycles in female mice

    Jenny Clarkson, Siew Hoong Yip ... Allan E Herbison
    Preoptic area neurons co-expressing GABA and kisspeptin are essential for the preovulatory surge mechanism but not for the pulsatile secretion of luteinizing hormone.

    Interpersonal alignment of neural evidence accumulation to social exchange of confidence

    Jamal Esmaily, Sajjad Zabbah ... Bahador Bahrami
    A multidisciplinary approach sheds light on the fundamental mechanisms underlying social belief communication under uncertainty.

    Myomatrix arrays for high-definition muscle recording

    Bryce Chung, Muneeb Zia ... Samuel J Sober
    A novel technology for recording muscle activity provides unprecedented access to the electrical signals that control the body across muscles, species, and behaviors.
