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.
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.

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.

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.
A new tool enables measuring feeding and locomotion simultaneously which will enable insights into environmental, developmental, neuronal, and genetic factors underlying behavioral regulation.
Category-selective intracerebral neurophysiological activity in low- and high-frequency bands show unprecedented corresponding spatial, functional, and timing properties in the human brain.
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.
Early and late visual deprivation trigger a redeployment mechanism that reallocate part of the processing typically tagging the preserved senses (i.e. the temporal cortex for auditory stimulation) to the occipital cortex deprived of its most salient visual input.
