    VTA-projecting cerebellar neurons mediate stress-dependent depression-like behaviors

    Soo Ji Baek, Jin Sung Park ... Keiko Tanaka-Yamamoto
    Long-term chemogenetic manipulation of specific cerebellar pathway involving ventral tegmental area revealed a critical role of the pathway as a proactive mediator of the stress-dependent development of depression-like behaviors.

    Three-dimensional multi-site random access photostimulation (3D-MAP)

    Yi Xue, Laura Waller ... Nicolas Pégard
    A one-photon three-dimensional light sculpture technique has been developed and demonstrated for high spatio-temporal resolution photostimulation and imaging of dozens of neurons in the intact mouse brain in vivo.

    Simultaneous brain, brainstem, and spinal cord pharmacological-fMRI reveals involvement of an endogenous opioid network in attentional analgesia

    Valeria Oliva, Ron Hartley-Davies ... Jonathan CW Brooks
    Attention-grabbing tasks produce rapid opioid-mediated analgesia via the descending pain modulation network to alter spinal neuronal activity.

    Virtual mouse brain histology from multi-contrast MRI via deep learning

    Zifei Liang, Choong H Lee ... Jiangyang Zhang
    Deep convolutional neural networks can generate virtual histology from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to map cellular structures in the mouse brain with high specificity, which enables neurobiologists to use MRI to characterize neuropathology effectively.

    Parallel processing in speech perception with local and global representations of linguistic context

    Christian Brodbeck, Shohini Bhattasali ... Ellen Lau
    Speech processing engages multiple predictive models, using sublexical, word- and sentence contexts in parallel to anticipate upcoming phonemes.

    Differential adhesion regulates neurite placement via a retrograde zippering mechanism

    Titas Sengupta, Noelle L Koonce ... Daniel A Colón-Ramos
    Biophysical differential adhesion principles drive non-canonical, zippering mechanisms in vivo, regulating precise neurite placement, and synaptic specificity within Caenorhabditis elegans brain bundles.

    A vibrissa pathway that activates the limbic system

    Michaël Elbaz, Amalia Callado Perez ... Martin Deschenes
    A predominant but less studied sensory pathway for both vibrissa self-motion and touch inputs is shown to broadcast broadly to brainstem regions involved in regulation of autonomic functions as well as forebrain regions involved in expression of emotional reactions.

    Charting brain growth and aging at high spatial precision

    Saige Rutherford, Charlotte Fraza ... Andre F Marquand
    During an individual's lifetime, their brain undergoes a unique transformation that we have precisely mapped across thousands of people to create and share reference growth charts of the human brain's lifespan which allow for single subject exploration and inference.

    KIF2C regulates synaptic plasticity and cognition in mice through dynamic microtubule depolymerization

    Rui Zheng, Yonglan Du ... Junyu Xu
    KIF2C plays an important role in synaptic plasticity and cognition behaviors in mice by regulating activity-dependent microtubule dynamic.

    Impact of long- and short-range fibre depletion on the cognitive deficits of fronto-temporal dementia

    Melissa Savard, Tharick A Pascoal ... Pedro Rosa-Neto
    While semantic symptoms in fronto-temporal dementia patients were mainly dependent on short-range white-matter fibre disruption, long-range white-matter fibres damage was the major contributor to executive dysfunction, highlighting the importance of controlling for risk factors associated with deep white-matter disease.
