    Contrast polarity-specific mapping improves efficiency of neuronal computation for collision detection

    Richard Burkett Dewell, Ying Zhu ... Fabrizio Gabbiani
    The processing of light and dark contrast information for detecting impending visual threats within grasshopper neurons reveals new mechanisms of information processing in the brain.

    A DARPin-based molecular toolset to probe gephyrin and inhibitory synapse biology

    Benjamin FN Campbell, Antje Dittmann ... Shiva K Tyagarajan
    Anti-gephyrin synthetic protein binders were screened and developed to specifically and robustly detect gephyrin protein and gephyrin-interacting protein partners in the mouse brain, generating a useful tool set for neuroscience.

    Development of visual cortex in human neonates is selectively modified by postnatal experience

    Mingyang Li, Tingting Liu ... Dan Wu
    The structural and functional development of human infant visual cortex can be modulated by the external environment.

    Sugar sensation and mechanosensation in the egg-laying preference shift of Drosophila suzukii

    Wanyue Wang, Hany KM Dweck ... John R Carlson
    Drosophila suzukii, which lays eggs on ripe fruits, differs from Drosophila melanogaster in sweet sensation, mechanosensation, and their integration.

    Active tactile discrimination is coupled with and modulated by the cardiac cycle

    Alejandro Galvez-Pol, Pavandeep Virdee ... James Kilner
    Human subjects actively adjust the acquisition of sense data based on how their bodily cycles alter their senses, i.e., sensing tactile stimuli for longer periods when concurrent physiological signals are present vs. sensing for shorter periods when these are quiescent.

    Mesoscale cortex-wide neural dynamics predict self-initiated actions in mice several seconds prior to movement

    Catalin Mitelut, Yongxu Zhang ... Timothy H Murphy
    Mouse self-initiated behaviors can be identified seconds prior to action and have similar neuro-dynamical structure to neural dynamics underlying human voluntary actions supporting the use of mouse models in self-initiated and volitional action research.

    Perception: In sync with the heart

    Aleksandra M Herman
    People actively adjust how they acquire sensory information, such as tactile cues, based on how their bodily functions alter their senses.

    Phase separation of competing memories along the human hippocampal theta rhythm

    Casper Kerrén, Sander van Bree ... Maria Wimber
    The human brain uses a phase code to temporally segregate overlapping, competing memories along the phase cycle of the theta rhythm.

    Coding of latent variables in sensory, parietal, and frontal cortices during closed-loop virtual navigation

    Jean-Paul Noel, Edoardo Balzani ... Dora E Angelaki
    Primates use their eyes to keep track of spatial goals, and this strategy is reflected by the functional connectivity between a traditionally considered optic flow area (dorsomedial superior temporal area) and prefrontal cortex.

    A prebiotic diet modulates microglial states and motor deficits in α-synuclein overexpressing mice

    Reem Abdel-Haq, Johannes CM Schlachetzki ... Sarkis K Mazmanian
    Microbiome-diet interactions shape microglia reactivity in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease.
