    Neural signatures of auditory hypersensitivity following acoustic trauma

    Matthew McGill, Ariel E Hight ... Daniel B Polley
    Chronic two-photon calcium imaging, optogenetics, and operant behavioral approaches were leveraged to show that hyperactivity, hyperresponsivity, and hypersynchronization in auditory cortex neural ensembles can account for auditory hypersensitivity following acoustic trauma.

    Plexins promote Hedgehog signaling through their cytoplasmic GAP activity

    Justine M Pinskey, Tyler M Hoard ... Benjamin L Allen
    The plexin family of semaphorin receptors regulate Hedgehog pathway activity via a conserved GAP domain and FYN kinase phosphorylation site in their cytoplasmic domain.

    Machine learning-assisted fluoroscopy of bladder function in awake mice

    Helene De Bruyn, Nikky Corthout ... Thomas Voets
    A new combined approach using X-ray fluoroscopy and machine learning provides detailed new insights into bladder function in awake, unrestrained mice and unveils important limitations of current approaches to study bladder function.

    EZ Clear for simple, rapid, and robust mouse whole organ clearing

    Chih-Wei Hsu, Juan Cerda III ... Joshua D Wythe
    With three simple steps in 48 hr, EZ Clear effectively renders adult mouse organs optically transparent while simultaneously preserving signal from synthetic and endogenous fluorescent reporters and is compatible with wholemount immunostaining and cryosectioning followed by histological or immunofluorescent staining.

    Frequency-specific neural signatures of perceptual content and perceptual stability

    Richard Hardstone, Matthew W Flounders ... Biyu J He
    While perceptual content is encoded in non-oscillatory activity in the slow cortical potential (<5 Hz) range, perceptual stability is predominantly influenced by the amplitude fluctuations of alpha (~10 Hz) and beta (~20 Hz) brain oscillations.

    A novel rhesus macaque model of Huntington’s disease recapitulates key neuropathological changes along with motor and cognitive decline

    Alison R Weiss, William A Liguore ... Jodi L McBride
    mHTT delivery in key cortical and subcortical brain regions leads to hallmark mHTT aggregate formation, gray and white matter degenerative changes, along with motor and cognitive decline in a new macaque model of Huntington's disease.

    A dopamine-gated learning circuit underpins reproductive state-dependent odor preference in Drosophila females

    Ariane C Boehm, Anja B Friedrich ... Ilona C Grunwald Kadow
    Behavioral and in vivo imaging analysis in the fly suggests that mating-related sensory experience regulates female odor perception and expression of choice behavior through a dopamine-gated learning circuit.

    A partially nested cortical hierarchy of neural states underlies event segmentation in the human brain

    Linda Geerligs, Dora Gözükara ... Umut Güçlü
    The ongoing stream of information that comes in through our senses is segmented into distinct neural states at each level of the cortical hierarchy, which underpins our experience of distinct events.

    The Neurodata Without Borders ecosystem for neurophysiological data science

    Oliver Rübel, Andrew Tritt ... Kristofer E Bouchard
    The NWB data language enables reproduction, interchange, and reuse of diverse neurophysiology data, and the design principles of NWB are generally applicable to enhance discovery across biology through data FAIRness.

    Sociosexual behavior requires both activating and repressive roles of Tfap2e/AP-2ε in vomeronasal sensory neurons

    Jennifer M Lin, Tyler A Mitchell ... Paolo Emanuele Forni
    In vivo genetic experiments show that aberrant expression of a transcription factor can compromise the functionality of neurons which is important to better understand the potential mechanisms underlying neuropathologies.
