    Neuronal timescales are functionally dynamic and shaped by cortical microarchitecture

    Richard Gao, Ruud L van den Brink ... Bradley Voytek
    Invasive electrophysiological recording measures neuronal transmembrane current timescales across human cortex, which lengthens from sensory to association regions, follows variations in ion channel expressions, and alters with behavior and aging.

    Correction of amblyopia in cats and mice after the critical period

    Ming-fai Fong, Kevin R Duffy ... Mark F Bear
    Visual impairment caused by monocular deprivation early in life can be reversed rapidly at older ages by temporarily blocking all activity in the non-deprived eye.

    Dual mechanisms of opioid-induced respiratory depression in the inspiratory rhythm-generating network

    Nathan A Baertsch, Nicholas E Bush ... Jan-Marino Ramirez
    Opioids cause hyperpolarization and pre-synaptic suppression among a subset of preBötzinger Complex neurons to impair respiratory rhythmogenesis.

    Stimulus-specific plasticity in human visual gamma-band activity and functional connectivity

    Benjamin J Stauch, Alina Peter ... Pascal Fries
    When visual stimuli are repeated, gamma oscillations in human early visual cortex and feedforward gamma synchronization across the visual system show stimulus-specific and persistent increases.

    Gjd2b-mediated gap junctions promote glutamatergic synapse formation and dendritic elaboration in Purkinje neurons

    Sahana Sitaraman, Gnaneshwar Yadav ... Vatsala Thirumalai
    A protein that is a building block of intercellular bridges between neurons promotes their ability to grow dendrites and make synapses.

    Physiological and motion signatures in static and time-varying functional connectivity and their subject identifiability

    Alba Xifra-Porxas, Michalis Kassinopoulos, Georgios D Mitsis
    BOLD fMRI fluctuations induced by head motion and variations in cardiac and breathing activity lead to artifactual patterns in functional connectivity as well as recurrent patterns in time-varying functional connectivity.
    1. Neuroscience

    Separable pupillary signatures of perception and action during perceptual multistability

    Jan W Brascamp, Gilles de Hollander ... Tomas Knapen
    When conscious visual perception changes, the observer's pupils simultaneously signal the accompanying change in visual cortical representation, and specific neuromodulatory activity that helps translate the altered visual experience into behavior.

    Cortical magnification in human visual cortex parallels task performance around the visual field

    Noah C Benson, Eline R Kupers ... Jonathan Winawer
    In humans, the surface area of early visual cortex across polar angle is distributed in a pattern that correlates strongly with radial asymmetries in behavioral performance on visual tasks.

    Understanding neural signals of post-decisional performance monitoring: An integrative review

    Kobe Desender, K Richard Ridderinkhof, Peter R Murphy
    A computationally explicit framework can explain post-decisional neural signals of performance monitoring.

    Perception of microstimulation frequency in human somatosensory cortex

    Christopher L Hughes, Sharlene N Flesher ... Robert A Gaunt
    Increasing microstimulation frequency in some regions of the human somatosensory cortex decreased the perceived intensity and evoked specific percepts, providing insight into cortical organization and sensory feedback approaches for brain–computer interfaces.
