    Phagocytic glia are obligatory intermediates in transmission of mutant huntingtin aggregates across neuronal synapses

    Kirby M Donnelly, Olivia R DeLorenzo ... Margaret M Panning Pearce
    Prion-like transfer of mutant huntingtin aggregates from presynaptic to postsynaptic neurons is enhanced by neuronal silencing and requires passage through the cytoplasm of Draper-expressing phagocytic glia in adult Drosophila brains.

    Noradrenergic projections from the locus coeruleus to the amygdala constrain fear memory reconsolidation

    Josué Haubrich, Matteo Bernabo, Karim Nader
    The overactivation of noradrenergic inputs to the amygdala during severe fear learning increases memory stability at the expense of lability, rendering the trace resistant to memory destabilization and reconsolidation.

    Dietary sugar inhibits satiation by decreasing the central processing of sweet taste

    Christina E May, Julia Rosander ... Monica Dus
    Taste-dependent satiation, which induces proper cessation of feeding in mammals as well as insects, is weakened by sugar-diet-driven taste impairment in the fruit fly.

    The Natural History of Model Organisms: The unlimited potential of the great pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis

    István Fodor, Ahmed AA Hussein ... Zsolt Pirger
    The great pond snail is a multipurpose model organism and a contemporary choice for addressing a wide range of biological questions, problems and phenomena in the laboratory and the field.

    Pupil-linked phasic arousal predicts a reduction of choice bias across species and decision domains

    Jan Willem de Gee, Konstantinos Tsetsos ... Tobias H Donner
    Across species and domains of decision-making, pupil-linked phasic arousal predicts suppression biases in the accumulation of evidence leading up to a choice.

    Remyelination alters the pattern of myelin in the cerebral cortex

    Jennifer Orthmann-Murphy, Cody L Call ... Dwight E Bergles
    Regeneration of oligodendrocytes in the cerebral cortex results in reorganization of the pattern of myelination, potentially impacting information processing within cortical networks in diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

    Pupil diameter encodes the idiosyncratic, cognitive complexity of belief updating

    Alexandre LS Filipowicz, Christopher M Glaze ... Joshua I Gold
    Pupil-linked arousal dynamics are influenced more strongly by high-level internal belief states than by low-level sensory events during decision-making.

    Epigenetic inheritance of circadian period in clonal cells

    Yan Li, Yongli Shan ... Joseph S Takahashi
    Global changes in gene expression associated with differential DNA methylation underlie epigenetic inheritance of circadian periodicity in cells.

    A Bayesian and efficient observer model explains concurrent attractive and repulsive history biases in visual perception

    Matthias Fritsche, Eelke Spaak, Floris P de Lange
    Attractive and repulsive history biases in visual perception occur simultaneously, yet over dissociable timescales, and are explained by efficient encoding and Bayesian decoding of visual information in a stable environment.

    The neurons that mistook a hat for a face

    Michael J Arcaro, Carlos Ponce, Margaret Livingstone
    Neuronal recordings reveal complex, heterogeneous inputs to face-selective neurons, suggesting that inferotemporal neurons do not represent objects in isolation, but are also sensitive to object relationships that reflect environmental regularities.
