New findings cast doubt on whether suppressing the RNA-binding protein PTBP1 can force astrocytes to become dopaminergic neurons.

Minian is an open-source analysis pipeline for calcium imaging data that enhances usability with low memory demands and transparency with user-friendly interactive visualizations.

Partial response electromyography is a useful and reliable measure of action stopping in a stop signal task, supported by psychometric and meta-analytic evidence.

Liquid biopsy methods utilizing brain-specific cell-free DNA methylation markers can detect brain cell death and potentially assist early detection and monitoring of schizophrenia.

Effectively connected neurons self-organize forming networks with a small-world architecture composed of modules, with most likely few and nearby neurons, integrated by more topologically important and high firing rate neurons.

Real-time imaging of neural activity in behaving mice reveals that the two canonical types of neurons in the olfactory tubercle carry distinct information about learned odor cues, with D1 neurons representing stimulus valence and D2 neurons mainly representing stimulus identity.

Sensory-evidence accumulation is a distributed cortical computation, but frontal cortical areas contribute to accumulation on longer timescales than posterior cortical areas.

Human intracranial electroencephalographic recordings reveal the electrophysiological properties and hierarchical organization of spontaneous neuronal oscillations in the human insula and show that these oscillations are traveling waves, thus providing new insights into intrainsular and interinsular communication.

Single unit recordings in monkeys and biophysical modelling demonstrate that local inhibitory-controlled metastable neural states specify the temporal organization of cognitive functions in frontal areas.

A complete public catalogue of brain recording data from a single laboratory has revealed new scientific findings, and has also shed light on aspects of the scientific process, such as statistical power and publication bias.
