    Functional gradients in the human lateral prefrontal cortex revealed by a comprehensive coordinate-based meta-analysis

    Majd Abdallah, Gaston E Zanitti ... Demian Wassermann
    A comprehensive meta-analysis of the neuroimaging literature reveals that the lateral prefrontal cortex of humans is mainly organized along its rostrocaudal axis according to a unimodal-to-transmodal pattern of network connectivity and a concrete-to-abstract axis of functional associations.

    Foveal vision anticipates defining features of eye movement targets

    Lisa M Kroell, Martin Rolfs
    Before a saccadic eye movement to a location in the visual periphery, human observers' foveal vision becomes more sensitive to the features defining the eye movement target, anticipating information that will soon be fixated in a retinotopic reference frame.

    Balance between breadth and depth in human many-alternative decisions

    Alice Vidal, Salvador Soto-Faraco, Rubén Moreno-Bote
    A novel experimental paradigm investigating how humans manage limited search capacity over many alternatives reveals close-to-optimal behaviours and identifies heuristics used to minimize computation with little impact on performance.

    Disrupted-in-schizophrenia-1 is required for normal pyramidal cell–interneuron communication and assembly dynamics in the prefrontal cortex

    Jonas-Frederic Sauer, Marlene Bartos
    In a mouse model of psychiatric illness, the neuronal network of the medial prefrontal cortex is characterized by reduced activity levels of interneurons, impaired gamma oscillations, and altered activation of cell assemblies.

    Higher-order unimodal olfactory sensory preconditioning in Drosophila

    Juan Martinez-Cervantes, Prachi Shah ... Isaac Cervantes-Sandoval
    Drosophila flies infer value to olfactory stimuli based on the previously repeatedly presented associative structure between two odorants.

    Deep learning-based feature extraction for prediction and interpretation of sharp-wave ripples in the rodent hippocampus

    Andrea Navas-Olive, Rodrigo Amaducci ... Liset M de la Prida
    A new method is described to identify sharp-wave ripples from the rodent hippocampus with deep learning techniques, which may help to identify and characterize previously undetected physiological events.

    Robust cone-mediated signaling persists late into rod photoreceptor degeneration

    Miranda L Scalabrino, Mishek Thapa ... Greg D Field
    The retina compensates for rod death and deteriorating cones to retain high-fidelity visual signaling to the brain.

    Uncertainty-based inference of a common cause for body ownership

    Marie Chancel, H Henrik Ehrsson, Wei Ji Ma
    Behavioral and computational results show that the perception of our body as our own depends on Bayesian probabilistic reasoning that take into account the variations in sensory uncertainty when integrating visual and somatosensory cues.

    Stability of motor representations after paralysis

    Charles Guan, Tyson Aflalo ... Richard A Andersen
    Neural populations in PPC dynamically represent motor-like and then sensory-like aspects of brain–computer interface finger movements with a representational structure that matches able-bodied individuals.

    Flexing the principal gradient of the cerebral cortex to suit changing semantic task demands

    Zhiyao Gao, Li Zheng ... Elizabeth Jefferies
    Gradient decomposition of informational connectivity reveals that the principal gradient with the separation of default mode network from sensory-motor systems represents a hallmark of the retrieval of strong conceptual links.
