    Multiple time-scales of decision-making in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex

    Wenbo Tang, Justin D Shin, Shantanu P Jadhav
    Hippocampal and prefrontal neuronal populations form slow behavioral-timescale (~seconds) and fast cognitive-timescale (~100 ms) sequential activity patterns as theta and replay sequences, which play distinct yet cooperative roles in memory-guided decision-making.

    Targeted molecular profiling of rare olfactory sensory neurons identifies fate, wiring, and functional determinants

    J Roman Arguello, Liliane Abuin ... Richard Benton
    Targeted expression of molecular probes for gene expression and chromatin accessibility in subpopulations of neurons in the Drosophila olfactory system identifies genes required for their development and function.

    Enhancing mitochondrial activity in neurons protects against neurodegeneration in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis

    Sina C Rosenkranz, Artem A Shaposhnykov ... Manuel A Friese
    Inducing neuronal mitochondrial activity during central nervous system inflammation counteracts inflammation-induced neuronal electron transport chain deficiency and calcium toxicity, thereby protecting against neuronal loss in a multiple sclerosis mouse model.

    Prenatal methadone exposure disrupts behavioral development and alters motor neuron intrinsic properties and local circuitry

    Gregory G Grecco, Briana E Mork ... Brady K Atwood
    A novel, translational mouse model of prenatal methadone exposure was developed and a longitudinal assessment of offspring revealed impairments in physical, behavioral, and neuronal development.

    Performance in even a simple perceptual task depends on mouse secondary visual areas

    Hannah C Goldbach, Bradley Akitake ... Mark H Histed
    In a simple visual task, that in principle could be performed using information in V1 alone, perturbations of secondary visual areas impair perception.

    Neural basis of corruption in power-holders

    Yang Hu, Chen Hu ... Jean-Claude Dreher
    Model-based fMRI reveals the neurocomputational bases of accepting a bribe when power-holders consider two moral costs, conniving with a fraudulent briber and the harm brought to a third party.

    Synchronous activity patterns in the dentate gyrus during immobility

    Martin Pofahl, Negar Nikbakht ... Heinz Beck
    Two-photon in vivo calcium imaging reveals short time-scale, synchronous and sparse population activity in dentate gyrus that replays place-related information, and is important for formation of dentate-dependent spatial memory.

    Prolonging the integrated stress response enhances CNS remyelination in an inflammatory environment

    Yanan Chen, Rejani B Kunjamma ... Brian Popko
    Oligodendrocytes with an enhanced ability to withstand cytotoxic stress display an increased capacity to remyelinate demyelination lesions of the CNS in the presence of an inflammatory environment.

    Glial insulin regulates cooperative or antagonistic Golden goal/Flamingo interactions during photoreceptor axon guidance

    Hiroki Takechi, Satoko Hakeda-Suzuki ... Takashi Suzuki
    Timely regulation of growth cone dynamics, including filopodial and cytoskeletal rearrangements through phosphorylation signals from glial cells, shapes the photoreceptor axon targeting.

    Genetic disruption of WASHC4 drives endo-lysosomal dysfunction and cognitive-movement impairments in mice and humans

    Jamie L Courtland, Tyler WA Bradshaw ... Scott H Soderling
    Cellular etiology of a human WASH complex mutation in mice reveals its specific roles in neuronal organelle trafficking and a surprising role in motor impairments.
