    Linguistic processing of task-irrelevant speech at a cocktail party

    Paz Har-shai Yahav, Elana Zion Golumbic
    Syntactic structure-building processes can be applied to speech that is task-irrelevant and should be ignored, demonstrating that Selective Attention does not fully eliminate linguistic processing of competing speech.

    An excitatory lateral hypothalamic circuit orchestrating pain behaviors in mice

    Justin N Siemian, Miguel A Arenivar ... Yeka Aponte
    A small population of lateral hypothalamic neurons detects pain and can be activated to suppress pain-related behavioral adaptations and the unpleasantness associated with pain in mice.

    Local circuit allowing hypothalamic control of hippocampal area CA2 activity and consequences for CA1

    Vincent Robert, Ludivine Therreau ... Rebecca Ann Piskorowski
    Input conveying social novelty information from the hypothalamus controls hippocampal activity by recruiting a novel inhibitory circuit in hippocampal area CA2.
    1. Neuroscience

    Distinct protocerebral neuropils associated with attractive and aversive female-produced odorants in the male moth brain

    Jonas Hansen Kymre, XiaoLan Liu ... Xi Chu
    Electrophysiological and morphological identification of individual pheromone projection neurons in male moth reveals a coding system for optimizing mate search strategy, including computation of three female-produced signals in distinct protocerebral regions.

    No relationship between frontal alpha asymmetry and depressive disorders in a multiverse analysis of five studies

    Aleksandra Kołodziej, Mikołaj Magnuski ... Aneta Brzezicka
    A multiverse approach consisting of 270 analyses on five independent studies fails to replicate the most common electrophysiological indicator of depression, which is asymmetry of alpha power in frontal regions.

    Instantaneous movement-unrelated midbrain activity modifies ongoing eye movements

    Antimo Buonocore, Xiaoguang Tian ... Ziad M Hafed
    Sensory activity within the superior colliculus is read out by downstream motor structures and contributes to individual saccade kinematics with single spike precision.
    1. Neuroscience

    EEG-based detection of the locus of auditory attention with convolutional neural networks

    Servaas Vandecappelle, Lucas Deckers ... Tom Francart
    Convolutional neural networks can decode whether a person is listening to a speaker on the left or right solely from 1 to 2s of EEG data.
    1. Neuroscience

    Adapting non-invasive human recordings along multiple task-axes shows unfolding of spontaneous and over-trained choice

    Yu Takagi, Laurence Tudor Hunt ... Miriam C Klein-Flügge
    Adaptation along multiple task-axes reveals choice traces at millisecond resolution in non-invasive recordings from human premotor cortex and provides evidence that theories of top-down control hold even after extensive experience.
    1. Neuroscience

    Midbrain dopaminergic inputs gate amygdala intercalated cell clusters by distinct and cooperative mechanisms in male mice

    Ayla Aksoy-Aksel, Andrea Gall ... Ingrid Ehrlich
    Dopaminergic input shapes activity of specialized amygdala inhibitory cell clusters by ionotropic and metabotropic mechanisms that may enable their selection during distinct fear-related behavioral states.

    A developmental framework linking neurogenesis and circuit formation in the Drosophila CNS

    Brandon Mark, Sen-Lin Lai ... Chris Q Doe
    Neurons are mapped for developmental features (lineage, hemilineage, temporal identity) and connectomic features (morphology, synapse localization and connectivity) to reveal correlations that can be tested experimentally.
