    Frontal eye field and caudate neurons make different contributions to reward-biased perceptual decisions

    Yunshu Fan, Joshua I Gold, Long Ding
    In monkeys making decisions that balance noisy evidence and reward expectation, frontal cortical and caudate activity reflect different computational components that are related to the monkeys' strategy.

    Control of Slc7a5 sensitivity by the voltage-sensing domain of Kv1 channels

    Shawn M Lamothe, Nazlee Sharmin ... Harley T Kurata
    The voltage-sensing mechanism of a subfamily of potassium channels is modulated in unconventional ways by an amino acid transporter.

    Impaired speed encoding and grid cell periodicity in a mouse model of tauopathy

    Thomas Ridler, Jonathan Witton ... Jonathan T Brown
    Dementia-related tau pathology reduces speed encoding in the medial entorhinal cortex and is associated with reduced grid cell function, whilst head direction tuning remains intact.

    Neural population dynamics in motor cortex are different for reach and grasp

    Aneesha K Suresh, James M Goodman ... Sliman J Bensmaia
    The neuronal activity in primary motor cortex does not exhibit smooth low-dimensional dynamics during grasp as it does during reach.

    Fine-scale computations for adaptive processing in the human brain

    Elisa Zamboni, Valentin G Kemper ... Zoe Kourtzi
    Laminar fMRI reveals that adaptive processing involves recurrent processing within visual cortex and top-down influences from posterior parietal cortex via feedback.

    Extended field-of-view ultrathin microendoscopes for high-resolution two-photon imaging with minimal invasiveness

    Andrea Antonini, Andrea Sattin ... Tommaso Fellin
    Aberration correction using 3D microprinting in ultrathin microendoscopes allows two-photon imaging of large neuronal networks with homogeneously high spatial resolution and minimal invasiveness in the deep mouse brain.

    The palmitoyl acyltransferase ZDHHC14 controls Kv1-family potassium channel clustering at the axon initial segment

    Shaun S Sanders, Luiselys M Hernandez ... Gareth M Thomas
    ZDHHC14 controls palmitoylation and axon initial segment targeting of PSD93 and Kv1-family potassium channels, events that are essential for normal neuronal excitability.
    1. Neuroscience

    Maternal cortisol is associated with neonatal amygdala microstructure and connectivity in a sexually dimorphic manner

    David Q Stoye, Manuel Blesa ... James P Boardman
    Prenatal stress is transmitted to infant development through cortisol, which imparts sex-specific effects on the development and connectivity of the amygdalae.

    High neural activity accelerates the decline of cognitive plasticity with age in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Qiaochu Li, Daniel-Cosmin Marcu ... Karl Emanuel Busch
    Chronic excitation of the Caenorhabditis elegans oxygen-sensing neurons alters calcium homeostasis to accelerate the decline of neural plasticity with age.

    Structural rearrangement of amyloid-β upon inhibitor binding suppresses formation of Alzheimer’s disease related oligomers

    Tobias Lieblein, Rene Zangl ... Nina Morgner
    Monitoring the formation of two distinct arrangements in early amyloid-ß aggregation by mass spectrometry and ion mobility allows determination of the effect of potential drug candidates.
