    TREM2 regulates purinergic receptor-mediated calcium signaling and motility in human iPSC-derived microglia

    Amit Jairaman, Amanda McQuade ... Michael D Cahalan
    Deletion of Alzheimer’s disease risk gene TREM2 augments sensitivity to the purinergic agonist ADP, leading to increased Ca2+ influx and reduced directional migration in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia.

    Pum2 and TDP-43 refine area-specific cytoarchitecture post-mitotically and modulate translation of Sox5, Bcl11b, and Rorb mRNAs in developing mouse neocortex

    Kawssar Harb, Melanie Richter ... Kent Duncan
    RNA-binding proteins use both translational activation and repression of key molecular determinants to post-mitotically sculpt the identity and connectivity of developing mouse neocortex in an area-specific manner.

    Neuroanatomical abnormalities in a nonhuman primate model of congenital Zika virus infection

    Danielle Beckman, Adele MH Seelke ... Eliza Bliss-Moreau
    Fetal Zika virus’ direct infection of the brain causes neuroanatomical pathology that tracks with the brain development, following a caudal-to-rostral trajectory, even in individuals who do not develop microcephaly.

    A dentate gyrus-CA3 inhibitory circuit promotes evolution of hippocampal-cortical ensembles during memory consolidation

    Hannah Twarkowski, Victor Steininger ... Amar Sahay
    Parvalbumin inhibitory neuron-mediated feed-forward inhibition in dentate gyrus-CA3 circuit governs time-dependent re-organization of memory traces in hippocampal-cortical networks to support systems consolidation.

    Environmental enrichment enhances patterning and remodeling of synaptic nanoarchitecture as revealed by STED nanoscopy

    Waja Wegner, Heinz Steffens ... Katrin I Willig
    Two-color time-lapse superresolution imaging of the synaptic nanoorganization in vivo uncovers highly dynamic spine heads and PSD95 assemblies that are less variable in size but more dynamic in their PSD95 nanoorganization after environmental enrichment.

    NBI-921352, a first-in-class, NaV1.6 selective, sodium channel inhibitor that prevents seizures in Scn8a gain-of-function mice, and wild-type mice and rats

    JP Johnson, Thilo Focken ... James R Empfield
    NBI-921352 (formerly XEN901) is a precision medicine in development for individuals with SCN8A gain-of-function mutations causing SCN8A related epilepsy syndrome (SCN8A-RES), as well as other epilepsy indications, include adult focal onset seizures (FOS).

    Microsaccades as a marker not a cause for attention-related modulation

    Gongchen Yu, James P Herman ... Richard J Krauzlis
    Midbrain neurons display attention-related modulation even in the absence of microsaccades, demonstrating that shifts of attention can be dissociated from the generation of microsaccades.

    Target-specific control of olfactory bulb periglomerular cells by GABAergic and cholinergic basal forebrain inputs

    Didier De Saint Jan
    Muscarinic excitation of a previously ignored subtype of periglomerular interneuron in the olfactory bulb by endogenous synaptic release of acetylcholine.

    NMDA receptors in visual cortex are necessary for normal visuomotor integration and skill learning

    Felix C Widmer, Sean M O'Toole, Georg B Keller
    Prediction error responses in layer 2/3 of mouse visual cortex are shaped by experience-dependent modifications of the local cortical circuit.

    How clustered protocadherin binding specificity is tuned for neuronal self-/nonself-recognition

    Kerry Marie Goodman, Phinikoula S Katsamba ... Barry Honig
    Surface plasmon resonance studies reveal that clustered protocadherins have precisely tuned trans homophilic binding interactions and promiscuous but variable cis interactions, consistent with the requirement of forming error-free linear molecular zippers used by mammalian neurons to distinguish self from nonself.
