    Time-dependent cytokine and chemokine changes in mouse cerebral cortex following a mild traumatic brain injury

    David Tweedie, Hanuma Kumar Karnati ... Nigel H Greig
    Protein changes in cerebral cortex following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) identified herein will help in the development of monitoring and response biomarkers that may translate to clinical mTBI.

    Light-induced engagement of microglia to focally remodel synapses in the adult brain

    Carla Cangalaya, Stoyan Stoyanov ... Alexander Dityatev
    The causal role of microglia in the acceleration of spine turnover and generation of presynaptic filopodia is directly demonstrated in the adult brain following acute focal synaptic photodamage.

    Shared and modality-specific brain regions that mediate auditory and visual word comprehension

    Anne Keitel, Joachim Gross, Christoph Kayser
    The comprehension of acoustic and visual speech depends on modality-specific pathways in the brain, which explains why auditory speech abilities and lip reading are not associated in typical adults.

    Upregulation of TRPM3 in nociceptors innervating inflamed tissue

    Marie Mulier, Nele Van Ranst ... Lauri Moilanen
    The expression and function of the cation channel TRPM3 is strongly increased in sensory neurons innervating inflamed tissue, likely contributing to inflammatory hyperalgesia and persistent pain.

    Intrinsic control of neuronal diversity and synaptic specificity in a proprioceptive circuit

    Maggie M Shin, Catarina Catela, Jeremy Dasen
    Genetic and anatomical analyses of Hox gene function uncover a limb-independent program of sensory neuron fate specification and connectivity.

    mTOR signaling regulates the morphology and migration of outer radial glia in developing human cortex

    Madeline G Andrews, Lakshmi Subramanian, Arnold R Kriegstein
    mTOR signaling regulates the morphology of a human-enriched neural stem cell population and thus contributes to the radial architecture of the developing human cortex with implications for neurodevelopmental disease.

    What do adversarial images tell us about human vision?

    Marin Dujmović, Gaurav Malhotra, Jeffrey S Bowers
    Well-controlled psychological experiments show that there is little overlap in how humans and convolutional networks classify adversarial images, highlighting the problem of using CNNs as models of human vision.

    What is the true discharge rate and pattern of the striatal projection neurons in Parkinson’s disease and Dystonia?

    Dan Valsky, Shai Heiman Grosberg ... Marc Deffains
    Aberrant striatal signaling does not induce drastic changes in the spontaneous discharge rate and pattern of the striatal projection neurons in Parkinson’s disease and Dystonia.

    A flexible framework for simulating and fitting generalized drift-diffusion models

    Maxwell Shinn, Norman H Lam, John D Murray
    Sophisticated decision-making mechanisms and complex experimental paradigms can be modeled, simulated, and fit to empirical response time data, using a flexible and efficient computational modeling framework.

    Axonal mechanisms mediating γ-aminobutyric acid receptor type A (GABA-A) inhibition of striatal dopamine release

    Paul F Kramer, Emily L Twedell ... Zayd M Khaliq
    GABA-A receptors on dopamine neuron axons not only depolarize the membrane but also limit action potential propagation, an effect potentiated by positive allosteric modulators of GABA-A receptors like diazepam (Valium).
