    The SSVEP tracks attention, not consciousness, during perceptual filling-in

    Matthew J Davidson, Will Mithen ... Naotsugu Tsuchiya
    The strength of frequency-tagged neural activity during perceptual filling anti-correlates with the contents of consciousness, yet positively correlates with a neural measure of attention, dissociating these often confounded brain processes.

    Altered hippocampal-prefrontal communication during anxiety-related avoidance in mice deficient for the autism-associated gene Pogz

    Margaret M Cunniff, Eirene Markenscoff-Papadimitriou ... Vikaas Singh Sohal
    In POGZ heterozygous mice, reduced anxiety-related avoidance is associated with decreased feedforward inhibition and theta synchrony in the hippocampal-prefrontal pathway.

    Probing the ionotropic activity of glutamate GluD2 receptor in HEK cells with genetically-engineered photopharmacology

    Damien Lemoine, Sarah Mondoloni ... Alexandre Mourot
    A photoswitchable pore blocker was covalently attached to a cysteine-substituted glutamate delta 2 receptor, to provide optical control of its ion channel function.

    Social dominance mediates behavioral adaptation to chronic stress in a sex-specific manner

    Stoyo Karamihalev, Elena Brivio ... Alon Chen
    Social dominance has opposing effects on behavior following stress in male vs. female mice indicating an important role in sex differences in the stress response.

    The amygdala instructs insular feedback for affective learning

    Dominic Kargl, Joanna Kaczanowska ... Wulf Haubensak
    Hierarchical information flow in a cortico-limbic loop between the insular cortex, central amygdala and the cholinergic basal forebrain links bodily states with environmental stimuli to guide fear and reward behavior.

    Defective memory engram reactivation underlies impaired fear memory recall in Fragile X syndrome

    Jie Li, Rena Y Jiang ... Lu Chen
    Activity-dependent genetic labeling during behavioral learning shows Fragile-X syndrome model mice exhibit impaired hippocampal engram reactivation, and that enriched environment experience improves fear memory retrieval by enhancing engram reactivation efficacy.

    A new no-report paradigm reveals that face cells encode both consciously perceived and suppressed stimuli

    Janis Karan Hesse, Doris Y Tsao
    Conscious visual percepts are encoded by face patches in the absence of report, can be decoded from population recordings, and are multiplexed with the veridical physical stimulus.

    anTraX, a software package for high-throughput video tracking of color-tagged insects

    Asaf Gal, Jonathan Saragosti, Daniel JC Kronauer
    anTraX is an algorithm and software package that facilitates automated analyses of insect social behavior in species and experimental settings that are not accessible with currently existing technology.

    Robo functions as an attractive cue for glial migration through SYG-1/Neph

    Zhongwei Qu, Albert Zhang, Dong Yan
    An extracellular cleavage fragment of Robo released from neurons can bind to glia-expressed SYG-1 to guide glia migration.
