    A causal role for the right frontal eye fields in value comparison

    Ian Krajbich, Andres Mitsumasu ... Ernst Fehr
    Inhibition of activity in the right frontal eye fields reduces the amplifying effect of gaze in value-based choice.

    Modality-specific tracking of attention and sensory statistics in the human electrophysiological spectral exponent

    Leonhard Waschke, Thomas Donoghue ... Jonas Obleser
    Waschke and colleagues demonstrate that aperiodic EEG activity not only captures subtle attention-related changes in brain signals but also tracks 1/f-like sensory input.

    Disturbed retinoid metabolism upon loss of rlbp1a impairs cone function and leads to subretinal lipid deposits and photoreceptor degeneration in the zebrafish retina

    Domino K Schlegel, Srinivasagan Ramkumar ... Stephan CF Neuhauss
    The retinoid-binding protein RLBP1 in the retinal pigment epithelium is crucially involved in cone photoreceptor visual pigment recycling and mimics the human eye disease with retinal lipid deposits when mutated.

    Individual variations in ‘brain age’ relate to early-life factors more than to longitudinal brain change

    Didac Vidal-Pineiro, Yunpeng Wang ... Anders Fjell
    Longitudinal neuroimaging models reveal that cross-sectional indices of brain age do not significantly relate to ongoing brain change, that is, brain aging, but to lifelong, stable variations in brain structure emerging in early life.

    Modelling the neural code in large populations of correlated neurons

    Sacha Sokoloski, Amir Aschner, Ruben Coen-Cagli
    The proposed techniques enable researchers to disentangle the statistical features of neural population responses, and rigorously quantify how these features carry information about stimuli and experimental variables.

    Parallel functional testing identifies enhancers active in early postnatal mouse brain

    Jason T Lambert, Linda Su-Feher ... Alex S Nord
    Methods for screening hundreds of DNA sequences for enhancer activity have been extended for use in vivo, uncovering novel enhancer elements active in the early postnatal brain.

    Finger somatotopy is preserved after tetraplegia but deteriorates over time

    Sanne Kikkert, Dario Pfyffer ... Nicole Wenderoth
    Hand somatotopy can be preserved in the primary somatosensory cortex of tetraplegic patients, despite the absence of sensorimotor function and periphery-brain communication, but deteriorates over years after injury.

    Plasticity of olfactory bulb inputs mediated by dendritic NMDA-spikes in rodent piriform cortex

    Amit Kumar, Edi Barkai, Jackie Schiller
    NMDA-spikes mediate plasticity of lateral olfactory tract inputs carrying direct odor information to the piriform cortex.

    Molecular reconstruction of recurrent evolutionary switching in olfactory receptor specificity

    Lucia L Prieto-Godino, Hayden R Schmidt, Richard Benton
    A 'hotspot' position in an olfactory receptor protein family underlies changes in odor tuning in different receptors at different times during evolution.

    Aversive stimuli bias corticothalamic responses to motivationally significant cues

    Federica Lucantonio, Eunyoung Kim ... Jeremiah Y Cohen
    Neurons projecting from prelimbic cortex to paraventricular thalamus bias approach decisions to ambiguous stimuli.
