    Molecular basis of interactions between CaMKII and α-actinin-2 that underlie dendritic spine enlargement

    Ashton J Curtis, Jian Zhu ... Matthew G Gold
    CaMKII and the actin-crosslinking protein α-actinin-2 associate within minutes of the induction of long-term potentiation and disrupting this interaction prevents formation of enlarged dendritic spines.

    Adult-born granule cells improve stimulus encoding and discrimination in the dentate gyrus

    Diego M Arribas, Antonia Marin-Burgin, Luis G Morelli
    Heterogeneity in the population of granule cells in the dentate gyrus, which includes immature and mature neurons with distinct intrinsic properties, contributes to the population's enhanced encoding capabilities and ability to discriminate correlated stimuli.

    Large depth differences between target and flankers can increase crowding: Evidence from a multi-depth plane display

    Samuel P Smithers, Yulong Shao ... Peter J Bex
    Visual crowding from clutter outside the limits of binocular fusion can still have a significant impact on object recognition and visual perception in the peripheral field.

    DnaJC7 specifically regulates tau seeding

    Valerie Ann Perez, David W Sanders ... Marc I Diamond
    Knockout of the J domain protein DnaJC7 reduces tau aggregate clearance and increases intracellular tau seeding for recombinant and human brain-derived tau seed sources.

    Inferential eye movement control while following dynamic gaze

    Nicole Xiao Han, Miguel Patricio Eckstein
    When looking at another person shifting their gaze, humans use the gazer's head direction, velocity, and peripheral visual information to infer potential gaze goals and execute anticipatory eye movements.

    Sex-dependent noradrenergic modulation of premotor cortex during decision-making

    Ellen M Rodberg, Carolina R den Hartog ... Elena M Vazey
    Female rats express higher levels of β noradrenergic receptor RNA in premotor cortex than males, and systemic blockade of these receptors diminished neural representation of action plans in premotor cortex and impaired decision-making performance, especially in females.

    Age-related differences in the functional topography of the locus coeruleus and their implications for cognitive and affective functions

    Dániel Veréb, Mite Mijalkov ... Joana B Pereira
    A gradient-based approach is employed to characterize the organization of functional connectivity in the human locus coeruleus, revealing age-related differences and associations with cognitive and affective functions independently from age.

    CaMKII autophosphorylation can occur between holoenzymes without subunit exchange

    Iva Lučić, Léonie Héluin ... Andrew JR Plested
    CaMKII is capable of spreading activity between holoenzymes without exchanging subunits.
