    Parallel processing by distinct classes of principal neurons in the olfactory cortex

    Shivathmihai Nagappan, Kevin M Franks
    In vivo recordings from identified cell classes in the olfactory cortex of a novel transgenic mouse reveal that distinct classes of principal neurons operate largely in parallel and differentially process odor information.

    Decoding subjective emotional arousal from EEG during an immersive virtual reality experience

    Simon M Hofmann, Felix Klotzsche ... Michael Gaebler
    Modulations of alpha oscillations from parieto-occipital brain regions can be used to decode subjective emotional arousal in a dynamic naturalistic virtual reality experience.

    A naturalistic environment to study visual cognition in unrestrained monkeys

    Georgin Jacob, Harish Katti ... SP Arun
    A novel naturalistic environment with a touchscreen enables high-quality eye tracking for studying visual cognition in monkeys, and allows naive monkeys to learn complex tasks through a combination of social observation of trained monkeys and trial-and-error learning.

    Emergence and function of cortical offset responses in sound termination detection

    Magdalena Solyga, Tania Rinaldi Barkat
    Cortical offset responses are not only inherited from the periphery but also amplified and de novo generated, and preventing them decreases the ability to detect sound termination.

    Wnt signaling mediates acquisition of blood–brain barrier properties in naïve endothelium derived from human pluripotent stem cells

    Benjamin D Gastfriend, Hideaki Nishihara ... Eric V Shusta
    Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in endothelial progenitors derived from human pluripotent stem cells partially induces the specialized blood–brain barrier phenotype while the same treatment in matured endothelial cells is less efficacious.

    Glial Nrf2 signaling mediates the neuroprotection exerted by Gastrodia elata Blume in Lrrk2-G2019S Parkinson’s disease

    Yu-En Lin, Chin-Hsien Lin ... Cheng-Ting Chien
    The traditional herbal medicine Gastrodia elata Blume, in the water-extracted form as food supplement, improves locomotion and protects dopaminergic neurons in Lrrk2-G2019S Parkinson’s disease models through Nrf2 activation in glia.

    Working memory capacity of crows and monkeys arises from similar neuronal computations

    Lukas Alexander Hahn, Dmitry Balakhonov ... Jonas Rose
    Despite differences in cellular architecture the brains of monkeys and crows produce comparable limits of working memory with comparable mechanisms.

    Standardizing workflows in imaging transcriptomics with the abagen toolbox

    Ross D Markello, Aurina Arnatkeviciute ... Bratislav Misic
    The abagen toolbox provides researchers with tools to systematically process and analyze imaging transcriptomics data, improving standardization of workflows and enabling more comprehensive evaluation of research findings.

    A neural circuit for flexible control of persistent behavioral states

    Ni Ji, Gurrein K Madan ... Steven W Flavell
    Circuit-wide calcium imaging during C. elegans foraging elucidates the functional architecture of a neural circuit controlling the choice between two alternative behavioral states.

    Effects of arousal and movement on secondary somatosensory and visual thalamus

    Gordon H Petty, Amanda K Kinnischtzke ... Randy M Bruno
    Secondary somatosensory and visual thalamus monitor behavioral state, rather than movement, and may exist to alter cortical activity accordingly.
