    Exploring therapeutic strategies for infantile neuronal axonal dystrophy (INAD/PARK14)

    Guang Lin, Burak Tepe ... Hugo J Bellen
    Endolysosmal trafficking defects, expansion of lysosomes, elevation of ceramides, and disruption of mitochondria are root causes of INAD/PARK14.

    Gain-of-function variants in the ion channel gene TRPM3 underlie a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders

    Lydie Burglen, Evelien Van Hoeymissen ... Joris Vriens
    Newly identified gain-of-function variants indicate TRPM3 as the cause of a spectrum of autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorders with frequent cerebellar involvement in humans.

    Desmosomal connectomics of all somatic muscles in an annelid larva

    Sanja Jasek, Csaba Verasztó ... Gáspár Jékely
    Volume-EM reconstruction of a whole-body desmosomal connectome including all muscles and their desmosomal partners in a Platynereis larva provides a detailed view of the organisation of the entire locomotor system in an animal.

    Inhibition is a prevalent mode of activity in the neocortex around awake hippocampal ripples in mice

    Javad Karimi Abadchi, Zahra Rezaei ... Majid H Mohajerani
    Neocortical activity is drastically different around awake than sleep hippocampal ripples.

    Unconventional secretion of α-synuclein mediated by palmitoylated DNAJC5 oligomers

    Shenjie Wu, Nancy C Hernandez Villegas ... Randy Schekman
    A pathway of unconventional secretion for alpha-synuclein, a protein which may spread in the brain as part of the pathology of Parkinson’s disease.

    Neurexins in serotonergic neurons regulate neuronal survival, serotonin transmission, and complex mouse behaviors

    Amy Cheung, Kotaro Konno ... Kensuke Futai
    Neurexins are presynaptic adhesion molecules in the serotonin system which regulate neuron survival and serotonin neuromodulation through active zone formation and serotonin release.

    Activity disruption causes degeneration of entorhinal neurons in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s circuit dysfunction

    Rong Zhao, Stacy D Grunke ... Joanna L Jankowsky
    Chemogenetic silencing reveals that entorhinal neurons require ongoing activity for survival, suggesting that their normal physiology may render them vulnerable to pathologies that impair transmission.

    Entorhinal Cortex: Use it or lose it

    Ohad Rechnitz, Dori Derdikman
    Blocking the activity of neurons in a region of the brain involved in memory leads to cell death, which could help explain the spatiotemporal disorientation observed in Alzheimer’s disease.

    Selective integration of diverse taste inputs within a single taste modality

    Julia U Deere, Arvin A Sarkissian ... Anita V Devineni
    Bitter-sensing cells across different organs of the fruit fly activate overlapping neural pathways in the brain to regulate a common set of aversive behaviors.

    Infant brain regional cerebral blood flow increases supporting emergence of the default-mode network

    Qinlin Yu, Minhui Ouyang ... Hao Huang
    Unprecedented 4D spatiotemporal infant regional cerebral blood flow framework and region-specific physiology–function coupling across infancy were elucidated, highlighting strong physiology–function coupling specifically at the default-mode network to meet extraneuronal metabolic demand for network emergence.
