    Rat sensitivity to multipoint statistics is predicted by efficient coding of natural scenes

    Riccardo Caramellino, Eugenio Piasini ... Davide Zoccolan
    Visual sensitivity to correlation patterns in rats matches that previously measured in humans, as well as predictions from efficient coding theory based on the statistics of natural images.

    Control of neurotransmitter release by two distinct membrane-binding faces of the Munc13-1 C1C2B region

    Marcial Camacho, Bradley Quade ... Christian Rosenmund
    Two different binding modes of the Munc13-1 C­1C2B region govern synaptic vesicle priming and neurotransmitter release probability.

    Maturation of persistent and hyperpolarization-activated inward currents shapes the differential activation of motoneuron subtypes during postnatal development

    Simon A Sharples, Gareth B Miles
    Electrophysiological recordings from mouse spinal motoneurons reveal key roles for ion channels in establishing the differential activation of motoneuron subtypes during postnatal development.

    Population receptive fields in nonhuman primates from whole-brain fMRI and large-scale neurophysiology in visual cortex

    P Christiaan Klink, Xing Chen ... Pieter R Roelfsema
    Within-species comparison of population receptive fields determined with fMRI and electrophysiology in nonhuman primates reveals the neuronal basis of blood-oxygen-level-dependent-based retinotopy.

    Magnetic Resonance: Mapping the visual world to the human brain

    Betina Ip, Holly Bridge
    The visual maps measured non-invasively in the brain of human and non-human primates reliably reflect the underlying neuronal responses recorded with invasive electrodes.

    Regulatory T-cells inhibit microglia-induced pain hypersensitivity in female mice

    Julia A Kuhn, Ilia D Vainchtein ... Allan I Basbaum
    Intrathecal injection of CSF1 induces greater upregulation of spinal microglial genes in male versus female mice, however, Treg depletion enhances microglial activation and restores pain hypersensitivity in the female mice.

    A 3D adult zebrafish brain atlas (AZBA) for the digital age

    Justin W Kenney, Patrick E Steadman ... Paul W Frankland
    A new tool for three-dimensional exploration of adult zebrafish neuroanatomy.

    Pain: Why sex matters

    Josette J Wlaschin, Sangeetha Hareendran, Claire E Le Pichon
    The immune mechanisms underlying hypersensitivity to pain after nerve injury are different in male and female mice.

    Silencing long ascending propriospinal neurons after spinal cord injury improves hindlimb stepping in the adult rat

    Courtney T Shepard, Amanda M Pocratsky ... David SK Magnuson
    Silencing L2 neurons that project to C6 after a T9 contusion, effectively removing spared axons, results in improved paw placement timing and order, and normalizes speed-dependent changes in swing and stance representing a significant neuroanatomical-functional paradox for spinal cord injury.

    REST/NRSF drives homeostatic plasticity of inhibitory synapses in a target-dependent fashion

    Cosimo Prestigio, Daniele Ferrante ... Pietro Baldelli
    A combination of electrophysiological, immunocytochemical, and biochemical approaches elucidate the mechanisms by which the transcriptional regulator REST/NRSF rescues neuronal homeostasis by upregulating GABAergic transmission selectively onto excitatory neurons in response to hyperactivity.
