    Amphetamine reduces reward encoding and stabilizes neural dynamics in rat anterior cingulate cortex

    Saeedeh Hashemnia, David R Euston, Aaron J Gruber
    Amphetamine reduces reward signaling by neurons in rat prefrontal cortex, but increases the stability of population dynamics, which account for animals’ increased task engagement, despite reduced reward motivation.

    Neural signatures of α2-Adrenergic agonist-induced unconsciousness and awakening by antagonist

    Jesus Javier Ballesteros, Jessica Blair Briscoe, Yumiko Ishizawa
    Instant performance recovery is possible following general anesthesia-induced unconsciousness using antagonist, and the brain dynamics return abruptly to the awake state without intermediate recovery states.

    The role of the NMD factor UPF3B in olfactory sensory neurons

    Kun Tan, Samantha H Jones ... Miles F Wilkinson
    The nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) branch-specific factor UPF3B influences olfactory sensory neuron cell populations, the olfactory receptor repertoire, and antimicrobial gene expression.

    Altered functional connectivity during speech perception in congenital amusia

    Kyle Jasmin, Frederic Dick ... Adam Taylor Tierney
    Individuals with amusia, who have unreliable pitch processing, show decreased functional connectivity between right auditory and left language-related cortex during speech perception, demonstrating a neural basis for compensatory dimensional weighting.

    Living Science: Theoretical musings

    Eve Marder
    The best theory papers help experimentalists to identify which of their results might be general and to plan a path through the maze of all possible future experiments.

    A theory of joint attractor dynamics in the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex accounts for artificial remapping and grid cell field-to-field variability

    Haggai Agmon, Yoram Burak
    A theory of coordinated neural network dynamics in multiple brain areas offers an explanation for several recent experimental findings in the hippocampus and medial entorhinal cortex.

    A novel acidification mechanism for greatly enhanced oxygen supply to the fish retina

    Christian Damsgaard, Henrik Lauridsen ... Colin J Brauner
    A novel mode of oxygen delivery facilitated the adaptive evolution of vision in teleost fishes.

    Deletion of Stk11 and Fos in mouse BLA projection neurons alters intrinsic excitability and impairs formation of long-term aversive memory

    David Levitan, Chenghao Liu ... Sacha B Nelson
    Stk11 and Fos expression plays an important role in CTA long-term memory formation by modulating the intrinsic excitability of BLApn.

    Inter- and intra-animal variation in the integrative properties of stellate cells in the medial entorhinal cortex

    Hugh Pastoll, Derek L Garden ... Matthew F Nolan
    Setpoints that determine the integrative properties of neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex are established at a population level and differ between animals.

    Rapid stimulus-driven modulation of slow ocular position drifts

    Tatiana Malevich, Antimo Buonocore, Ziad M Hafed
    Slow, continuous changes in eye position when gaze is fixed, previously believed to be random drifts, are shown to exhibit highly systematic and short-latency response characteristics to visual stimuli.
