New memories can strengthen old memories if the recent and past experience contain elements that are semantically related.

The more semantically related a later experience is to an earlier one (along multiple dimensions), the more likely humans are to think back to and strengthen the memory of the earlier experience and mentally link the two experiences.

While performing learned movements at different speeds, motor cortex population activity can be understood based on the need to generate muscle activity via smooth, well-behaved dynamics.

Analysis of performance on a novel behavioural paradigm investigating active information gathering reveals that subjective cognitive impairment is associated with hyperreactivity to uncertainty and links this mechanism to the affective burden in the condition and heightened insular-hippocampal connectivity.

Optogenetic and electrical stimulation of primary visual cortex neurons reveals synaptic and cell-intrinsic mechanisms that underlie neuronal ensemble formation.

4,6-Sulfation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans prevents sympathetic nerve regeneration into the infarct after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, and reducing this sulfation promotes nerve regeneration and decreases arrhythmia susceptibility.

Applying computational modeling to quantify threat learning processes uncovers how variations in these conserved learning processes relate to anxiety severity and the neuroanatomical substrates moderating these associations.

In a mouse model of DYT25 dystonia with disruption of striatal neurotransmission by Gnal mutation, the cerebello-thalamic excitability is increased following symptom expression and θ-burst cerebellar stimulations during cholinergic-induced dystonia depress the cerebello-thalamic transmission and reduce the motor symptom severity.

A new insight into the role of syntaxin1's juxtamembrane region in controlling palmitoylation and spontaneous neurotransmitter release.

Prominent transitions between different mental contexts produce a stereotyped brain state shared across internally and externally generated transitions but distinct from minor within-context transitions, potentially reflecting a major flushing and updating of mental models.
