    Short-term plasticity in the human visual thalamus

    Jan W Kurzawski, Claudia Lunghi ... Paola Binda
    Short-term monocular deprivation effects are widespread in the visual cortex and extend subcortically to the ventral pulvinar, while sparing the dorsal pulvinar and the lateral geniculate nucleus.

    Activity in perirhinal and entorhinal cortex predicts perceived visual similarities among category exemplars with highest precision

    Kayla M Ferko, Anna Blumenthal ... Stefan Köhler
    The present findings reveal that subjectively perceived similarities between objects, including those unique to individual observers, are reflected with highest fidelity at the apex of the ventral visual pathway in the medial temporal lobe.

    Robust effects of corticothalamic feedback and behavioral state on movie responses in mouse dLGN

    Martin A Spacek, Davide Crombie ... Laura Busse
    Electrophysiology and optogenetic circuit manipulation in the mouse visual system reveal that corticothalamic feedback and behavioral state both have robust modulatory, yet largely independent influences on thalamic responses to naturalistic movies.

    Chemoreceptor co-expression in Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons

    Darya Task, Chun-Chieh Lin ... Christopher J Potter
    Olfactory neurons of insects, once thought to express only a single type of olfactory receptor, exhibit widespread co-expression of receptors from multiple chemosensory gene families.

    Molecular determinants of complexin clamping and activation function

    Manindra Bera, Sathish Ramakrishnan ... James E Rothman
    Complexin, in conjunction with Synaptotagmin, clamps the SNARE-assembly process under resting conditions and promote vesicle fusion in response to calcium signal.

    The pupillary light response as a physiological index of aphantasia, sensory and phenomenological imagery strength

    Lachlan Kay, Rebecca Keogh ... Joel Pearson
    Physiological evidence shows that the pupillary response to imagined light can be used to index the strength and vividness of an individual’s visual imagery and as a new tool for confirming aphantasia.

    Neural excursions from manifold structure explain patterns of learning during human sensorimotor adaptation

    Corson Areshenkoff, Daniel J Gale ... Jason P Gallivan
    Human sensorimotor learning is associated with changes in the structure of cognitive and motor functional brain networks, and reconfiguration processes occurring in these networks are associated with distinct patterns of subject learning and relearning.

    Strategy-dependent effects of working-memory limitations on human perceptual decision-making

    Kyra Schapiro, Krešimir Josić ... Joshua I Gold
    Computed decisions degrade in working memory in a manner that depends on one of two strategies used to store relevant information as revealed by mathematical analysis of behavioral response patterns.

    A neural network model of when to retrieve and encode episodic memories

    Qihong Lu, Uri Hasson, Kenneth A Norman
    A neural network showed better prediction of upcoming states when it was selective in when it encoded and retrieved episodic memories, thereby explaining why humans show this selectivity in studies of naturalistic memory.

    Mapping circuit dynamics during function and dysfunction

    Srinivas Gorur-Shandilya, Elizabeth M Cronin ... Eve Marder
    Mapping spike patterns from a small identified circuit reveals the diversity and complexity of circuit dynamics across animals and in response to perturbations.
