    Different theta frameworks coexist in the rat hippocampus and are coordinated during memory-guided and novelty tasks

    Víctor J López-Madrona, Elena Pérez-Montoyo ... Santiago Canals
    Integration and segregation of information of memory and sensory in the hippocampus could be achieved by the coordination of distinct theta-gamma coding frameworks.

    Temporal selectivity declines in the aging human auditory cortex

    Julia Erb, Lea-Maria Schmitt, Jonas Obleser
    The aged human auditory cortex shows preserved tonotopy, but temporal modulations are represented with a markedly broader tuning, highlighting decreased temporal selectivity as a hallmark of the aging auditory cortex.

    The cytokine GDF15 signals through a population of brainstem cholecystokinin neurons to mediate anorectic signalling

    Amy A Worth, Rosemary Shoop ... Simon M Luckman
    The GDF15 receptor, GFRAL,is expressed on a unique population of brainstem CCK neurons and mediates pathophysiological anorexia.

    A sensorimotor model shows why a spectral jamming avoidance response does not help bats deal with jamming

    Omer Mazar, Yossi Yovel
    An elaborated bat-predator model shows that even in high bat-densities, bats can successfully catch flying insects and that changing their signals’ frequency is not necessary for dealing with sensory interference.

    α-synuclein strains that cause distinct pathologies differentially inhibit proteasome

    Genjiro Suzuki, Sei Imura ... Masato Hasegawa
    One α-synuclein strain inhibited proteasome activity and induced apparent pathologies, while the other did not, indicating a strain-dependent toxicity of α-synuclein aggregates, which support a prion-like behavior of α-synuclein.

    Improving a probabilistic cytoarchitectonic atlas of auditory cortex using a novel method for inter-individual alignment

    Omer Faruk Gulban, Rainer Goebel ... Federico de Martino
    Inter-individual human brain alignment that uses macro-anatomical priors in addition to cortical curvature improves micro-anatomical correspondence between auditory areas.

    Evolution: Shining a light on the origin of fly species

    Hui Gong, Lucia Prieto-Godino
    Natural light gradients within a habitat may have helped form new fly species that have differing preferences for light.

    Keratinocytes contribute to normal cold and heat sensation

    Katelyn E Sadler, Francie Moehring, Cheryl L Stucky
    Purinergic keratinocyte-to-sensory neuron signaling is a ubiquitous amplification mechanism that is required for normal mechanical, cold, and heat sensation in vivo.

    Microglial calcium signaling is attuned to neuronal activity in awake mice

    Anthony D Umpierre, Lauren L Bystrom ... Long-Jun Wu
    Microglial processes engage calcium signaling in response to hyper- or hypo-active shifts in neuronal activity.

    Divergent sensory investment mirrors potential speciation via niche partitioning across Drosophila

    Ian W Keesey, Veit Grabe ... Bill S Hansson
    Phototaxis and courtship behavioral preferences reflect strong correlation with differences in olfactory and visual nervous system investment across five monophyletic Drosophila species, and could help explain their speciation events.
