    Instructions and experiential learning have similar impacts on pain and pain-related brain responses but produce dissociations in value-based reversal learning

    Lauren Y Atlas, Troy C Dildine ... Daniel S Pine
    Combining computational models with FMRI in humans during pain reversal learning reveals parallel pain modulatory brain circuits that differ in their flexibility and sensitivity to instructions.

    A connectomics-based taxonomy of mammals

    Laura E Suarez, Yossi Yovel ... Bratislav Misic
    Inter-species variations in connectome architecture across the mammalian phylogenetic spectrum recapitulate established taxonomic relationships defined by genetic, morphology, and behavioural differences, and are mainly driven by local changes in connectivity while hallmark global features tend to be conserved across species.

    Two neuronal peptides encoded from a single transcript regulate mitochondrial complex III in Drosophila

    Justin A Bosch, Berrak Ugur ... Norbert Perrimon
    Sloth1 and Sloth2 are two mitochondrial peptides that are translated from one transcript and are important for neuronal function in Drosophila.

    Learning-related contraction of gray matter in rodent sensorimotor cortex is associated with adaptive myelination

    Tomas Mediavilla, Özgün Özalay ... Daniel J Marcellino
    Learning produces dynamic white matter volumetric changes in the rodent brain observed by voxel-based morphometry on longitudinal structural MRI for which estimated white matter volume reflects adaptive myelination in the cortex.

    Intracranial human recordings reveal association between neural activity and perceived intensity for the pain of others in the insula

    Efe Soyman, Rune Bruls ... Valeria Gazzola
    Intracranial recordings indicate that the insula encodes, in a partially intermixed layout, both static and dynamic cues from different body parts that reflect the intensity of pain experienced by others.

    High-throughput automated methods for classical and operant conditioning of Drosophila larvae

    Elise C Croteau-Chonka, Michael S Clayton ... Kristina T Klein
    A novel high-throughput FPGA-based multi-animal tracking and training system was used to demonstrate trace and operant conditioning in Drosophila larvae.

    Collective dynamics support group drumming, reduce variability, and stabilize tempo drift

    Dobromir Dotov, Lana Delasanta ... Laurel Trainor
    Human performance in a group synchronization task, described as a temporal version of the wisdom of crowds, can be understood as a phenomenon of the same nature as collective dynamics in swarming animals.

    Drosophila mechanical nociceptors preferentially sense localized poking

    Zhen Liu, Meng-Hua Wu ... Xin Liang
    A fly larval mechanical nociceptor develops dedicated neuronal mechanisms to support its sensory preference in detecting localized poking forces, and this sensory feature well supports the physiological function of the nociceptor in sensing the physical attack of its natural enemy.

    Mechanosensing Dendrites: The elegance of prickly sensations

    Bibi Nusreen Imambocus, Peter Soba
    Neurons sensing harmful mechanical forces in the larvae of fruit flies have a striking architecture of dendrites that are optimized to detect pointy objects.

    Spatiotemporal properties of glutamate input support direction selectivity in the dendrites of retinal starburst amacrine cells

    Prerna Srivastava, Geoff de Rosenroll ... Gautam Bhagwan Awatramani
    Two-photon glutamate imaging reveals that 'sustained' and 'transient' input are systematically arranged along single starburst dendrites, supporting the 'space-time' wiring model for direction selectivity.
