    Functional interactions among neurons within single columns of macaque V1

    Ethan B Trepka, Shude Zhu ... Tirin Moore
    A proof-of-principle is provided for the use of high-density neurophysiological recordings in assessing local circuit interactions within the macaque brain.

    Suppressed prefrontal neuronal firing variability and impaired social representation in IRSp53-mutant mice

    Woohyun Kim, Jae Jin Shin ... Eunjoon Kim
    Social deficits in IRSp53/Baiap2-mutant mice accompany decreases in prefrontal neuronal firing variability, burst firing, and social information decoding accuracy, and memantine-dependent NMDAR inhibition, which rescues social deficits, alleviates burst firing, suggesting that burst firing links NMDAR dysfunction with social deficits.

    Nested mechanosensory feedback actively damps visually guided head movements in Drosophila

    Benjamin Cellini, Jean-Michel Mongeau
    Motor context and mechanosensory feedback together influence how flies control head movements during visually guided flight maneuvers.

    Transversal functional connectivity and scene-specific processing in the human entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry

    Xenia Grande, Magdalena M Sauvage ... David Berron
    The human entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry is characterized by an information-specific functional organization where two routes, that are preferentially connected to the parahippocampal cortex or the perirhinal and retrosplenial cortices, divide the entorhinal cortex as well as hippocampal subiculum and CA1 subregions.

    Rapid reconstruction of neural circuits using tissue expansion and light sheet microscopy

    Joshua L Lillvis, Hideo Otsuna ... Barry J Dickson
    A new approach for fast, sparse neural circuit mapping allows circuit structure, physiology, and behavior to be quantified in the same animal and across many animals.

    The role of conjunctive representations in prioritizing and selecting planned actions

    Atsushi Kikumoto, Ulrich Mayr, David Badre
    Time-resolved decoding of EEG reveals the nature of representations of upcoming actions and how the planned action is selected from working memory.

    Visual and motor signatures of locomotion dynamically shape a population code for feature detection in Drosophila

    Maxwell H Turner, Avery Krieger ... Thomas R Clandinin
    Neurons responsible for detecting local visual features are modulated by visual and motor-related forms of gain control that increase the threshold for detection when self-generated movement signals would dominate visual input.

    Internally generated time in the rodent hippocampus is logarithmically compressed

    Rui Cao, John H Bladon ... Marc W Howard
    Receptive fields for time in the hippocampus, like receptive fields for retinal space and receptive fields for numerosity, obey the Weber-Fechner law.

    Nucleus accumbens dopamine tracks aversive stimulus duration and prediction but not value or prediction error

    Jessica N Goedhoop, Bastijn JG van den Boom ... Ingo Willuhn
    The extracellular concentration of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens core is progressively diminished by white noise, an underutilized, easy-to-titrate aversive stimulus, but is unaffected by white-noise intensity, context valence, and associated probabilistic contingencies.

    Arguments for the biological and predictive relevance of the proportional recovery rule

    Jeff Goldsmith, Tomoko Kitago ... John W Krakauer
    The proportional recovery rule, an apparently simple model that nonetheless requires careful statistical treatment, remains an important biological and predictive framework for stroke recovery.
