    Qki regulates myelinogenesis through Srebp2-dependent cholesterol biosynthesis

    Xin Zhou, Seula Shin ... Jian Hu
    Qki-Srebp2–mediated cholesterol biosynthesis is indispensable for myelinogenesis during early brain development.

    Two opposite voltage-dependent currents control the unusual early development pattern of embryonic Renshaw cell electrical activity

    Juliette Boeri, Claude Meunier ... Antonny Czarnecki
    A simple mechanism, based on the synergy of two major opposing voltage-dependent currents that are ubiquitous in neurons, produces functional diversity of developing Renshaw cells in the embryo.

    Corollary discharge promotes a sustained motor state in a neural circuit for navigation

    Ni Ji, Vivek Venkatachalam ... Aravinthan DT Samuel
    A primary sensory interneuron in the thermotaxis circuit of C. elegans integrates sensory input and corollary discharge to drive persistent navigational states and movement towards preferred environments.

    Co-targeting myelin inhibitors and CSPGs markedly enhances regeneration of GDNF-stimulated, but not conditioning-lesioned, sensory axons into the spinal cord

    Jinbin Zhai, Hyukmin Kim ... Young-Jin Son
    Myelin-associated inhibitors and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans are not the primary mechanism stopping sensory axons regenerating into the spinal cord, although their removal can markedly enhance regeneration when combined with an intervention that elevates axon growth capacity sufficiently robustly.

    Amphiphysin I cleavage by asparagine endopeptidase leads to tau hyperphosphorylation and synaptic dysfunction

    Xingyu Zhang, Li Zou ... Zhentao Zhang
    Amphiphysin I is identified as a new substrate of AEP, and the resultant fragment induces synaptic dysfunction and promotes tau hyperphosphorylation via activating CDK5 kinase.

    Thirst interneurons that promote water seeking and limit feeding behavior in Drosophila

    Dan Landayan, Brian P Wang ... Fred W Wolf
    Thirsty seeking interneurons in Drosophila differentially regulate water intake and feeding behavior.

    Perturbation of amygdala-cortical projections reduces ensemble coherence of palatability coding in gustatory cortex

    Jian-You Lin, Narendra Mukherjee ... Donald B Katz
    Blocking input from basolateral amygdala to gustatory cortex (GC) severely reduces the coherence of GC ensemble activity, which negatively affects epochal dynamics involved in driving palatability-driven consumption.

    DRAXIN regulates interhemispheric fissure remodelling to influence the extent of corpus callosum formation

    Laura Morcom, Timothy J Edwards ... Linda J Richards
    Incomplete interhemispheric fissure remodelling determines corpus callosum size in humans and BTBR N2 mice that carry a deletion in Draxin.

    Constructing an adult orofacial premotor atlas in Allen mouse CCF

    Jun Takatoh, Jae Hong Park ... Fan Wang
    A new three-step monosynaptic premotor tracing strategy in adult mice, together with registration to the Allen mouse common coordinate framework, uncovered precise spatial relationships of distinct orofacial premotor circuits in the brainstem.

    Standardized and reproducible measurement of decision-making in mice

    The International Brain Laboratory, Valeria Aguillon-Rodriguez ... Anthony M Zador
    A standard for complex mouse behavior that can be successfully reproduced across laboratories, along with open-access data and tools to implement provide a resource for reproducibility through collaborative open-science approaches.
