    Local field potentials reflect cortical population dynamics in a region-specific and frequency-dependent manner

    Cecilia Gallego-Carracedo, Matthew G Perich ... Juan Álvaro Gallego
    There is a frequency-dependent association between the local field potential and the coordinated activity of populations of single neurons, which remains constant during different aspects of behaviour but changes across regions of primate sensorimotor cortex.

    Controllability boosts neural and cognitive signatures of changes-of-mind in uncertain environments

    Marion Rouault, Aurélien Weiss ... Valentin Wyart
    Task controllability manipulations reveal that information seeking is associated with reduced confidence and active hypothesis testing, as well as stronger neurophysiological correlates of attention and arousal.

    Neural effects of continuous theta-burst stimulation in macaque parietal neurons

    Maria C Romero, Lara Merken ... Marco Davare
    Electrophysiological recordings in awake behaving monkeys show the first evidence of the effect of continuous theta-burst stimulation, a widely used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol, at the level of single neurons.

    The role of anterior insular cortex inputs to dorsolateral striatum in binge alcohol drinking

    David L Haggerty, Braulio Munoz ... Brady K Atwood
    A novel brain circuit that determines how much alcohol a mouse binge drinks by complex control of drinking behavior mechanics is surveyed.

    Neural synchronization is strongest to the spectral flux of slow music and depends on familiarity and beat salience

    Kristin Weineck, Olivia Xin Wen, Molly J Henry
    Two different analysis approaches for measuring neural synchronization to natural music revealed strongest synchronization to musical spectral flux as opposed to the more commonly used amplitude envelope.

    Time-resolved parameterization of aperiodic and periodic brain activity

    Luc Edward Wilson, Jason da Silva Castanheira, Sylvain Baillet
    The new method and reported findings address a growing interest in neuroscience for research tools that can reliably decompose brain activity at the mesoscopic scale into interpretable components.

    Value representations in the rodent orbitofrontal cortex drive learning, not choice

    Kevin J Miller, Matthew M Botvinick, Carlos D Brody
    Neurons in the OFC signal expected reward specifically when this information is used for learning rather than for choosing, and silencing these neurons impairs use of this information to learn.

    Automatically tracking feeding behavior in populations of foraging C. elegans

    Elsa Bonnard, Jun Liu ... Monika Scholz
    A new tool enables measuring feeding and locomotion simultaneously which will enable insights into environmental, developmental, neuronal, and genetic factors underlying behavioral regulation.

    Low and high frequency intracranial neural signals match in the human associative cortex

    Corentin Jacques, Jacques Jonas ... Bruno Rossion
    Category-selective intracerebral neurophysiological activity in low- and high-frequency bands show unprecedented corresponding spatial, functional, and timing properties in the human brain.

    Evidence accumulation, not ‘self-control’, explains dorsolateral prefrontal activation during normative choice

    Cendri A Hutcherson, Anita Tusche
    A computational model of decision making suggests that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex's role in self-control is more associated with evidence accumulation processes than with inhibition or modulation of value.
