    Neural population dynamics of computing with synaptic modulations

    Kyle Aitken, Stefan Mihalas
    Synaptic modulations alone imbue networks with computational capabilities comparable to recurrent connections on several neuroscience-relevant tasks, which manifest in fundamentally different neuronal dynamics.

    Prefrontal PV interneurons facilitate attention and are linked to attentional dysfunction in a mouse model of absence epilepsy

    Brielle Ferguson, Cameron Glick, John R Huguenard
    Targeting reductions in prefrontal PV interneuron activity and gamma power during cue presentation can rescue attention impairments in a mouse model of absence epilepsy.

    The cellular architecture of memory modules in Drosophila supports stochastic input integration

    Omar A Hafez, Benjamin Escribano ... Jan Pielage
    Computational modeling of a central decision neuron of Drosophila reveals an electrotonically compact architecture that is ideally suited to support efficient memory storage within a stochastically connected memory circuit.

    Mechanisms and functions of respiration-driven gamma oscillations in the primary olfactory cortex

    Joaquin Gonzalez, Pablo Torterolo, Adriano BL Tort
    Computational analyses of in-vivo cerebral activity show that gamma oscillations in the olfactory cortex originate from local feedback inhibition following each sniff and serve to segregate competing odor representations through a winner-take-all process, providing an optimal window to decode odor.

    Palmitoylation regulates neuropilin-2 localization and function in cortical neurons and conveys specificity to semaphorin signaling via palmitoyl acyltransferases

    Eleftheria Koropouli, Qiang Wang ... Alex L Kolodkin
    Posttranslational protein palmitoylation and palmitoyl acyltransferase-substrate specificity emerge as a novel mechanism specifying the functional identity of neuronal substrates during the development of the central nervous system.

    Multilayer brain networks can identify the epileptogenic zone and seizure dynamics

    Hossein Shahabi, Dileep R Nair, Richard M Leahy
    Aging and the duration of epilepsy can intensify the high-frequency desynchronization between the epileptogenic zone and the rest of the brain in early to mid-seizure.

    Model-based whole-brain perturbational landscape of neurodegenerative diseases

    Yonatan Sanz Perl, Sol Fittipaldi ... Enzo Tagliazucchi
    The combination of deep learning with whole-brain computational models reveals the low-dimensional representation of neurodegenerative diseases, which emerges from a highly multidimensional brain, providing valuable insight into pathological states' diagnostic, prognosis, and treatment response.

    Distinct roles of forward and backward alpha-band waves in spatial visual attention

    Andrea Alamia, Lucie Terral ... Rufin VanRullen
    Covert visual attention modulates alpha-band traveling waves propagating from frontal to occipital regions in both hemispheres, yet it modulates waves propagating in the opposite direction (occipital to frontal) only in the presence of visual stimulation.

    Extra-hippocampal contributions to pattern separation

    Tarek Amer, Lila Davachi
    The ability to discriminate highly overlapping events in memory is a multistage process supported by a network of brain regions and neocortical–hippocampal interactions.

    The role of expectations, control and reward in the development of pain persistence based on a unified model

    Christian Büchel
    The integration of established psychological and biological models of pain suggests novel interventions to prevent pain persistence.
