    C1 neurons are part of the circuitry that recruits active expiration in response to the activation of peripheral chemoreceptors

    Milene R Malheiros-Lima, Josiane N Silva ... Thiago S Moreira
    An unbiased description reveals potential implications for understanding the developmental mechanisms that match respiratory supply and demand during hypoxia.

    Distinct roles for innexin gap junctions and hemichannels in mechanosensation

    Denise S Walker, William R Schafer
    The innexin protein UNC-7, a homologue of vertebrate pannexins, plays a specific, gap junction-independent role in C. elegans mechanosensation.

    Altered corticolimbic connectivity reveals sex-specific adolescent outcomes in a rat model of early life adversity

    Jennifer A Honeycutt, Camila Demaestri ... Heather C Brenhouse
    Early life adversity led to hyper-innervation from the basolateral amygdala to the prefrontal cortex earlier in females than males and disrupted maturation of functional connectivity, which predicted anxiety-like outcomes.

    Inhibition of protein synthesis in M1 of monkeys disrupts performance of sequential movements guided by memory

    Machiko Ohbayashi
    Inhibition of protein synthesis in primary motor cortex (M1) of monkeys disrupted the performance of skilled sequential movements suggesting that M1 is involved in maintenance of skilled sequential movements.

    Phrenic-specific transcriptional programs shape respiratory motor output

    Alicia N Vagnozzi, Kiran Garg ... Polyxeni Philippidou
    Molecular programs regulated by Hox5 transcription factors establish a set of inhibitory inputs onto phrenic motor neurons that control the pattern of respiratory motor output.

    CXCL12-induced rescue of cortical dendritic spines and cognitive flexibility

    Lindsay K Festa, Elena Irollo ... Olimpia Meucci
    Unveiling a novel role of the chemokine CXCL12 in the mature brain that opens up new lines of investigation for the development of therapeutics against cognitive impairment.

    Invariant representations of mass in the human brain

    Sarah Schwettmann, Joshua B Tenenbaum, Nancy Kanwisher
    A network of brain regions implicated in physical inference represents abstract, generalizable variables used as inputs to physics engines.

    The contribution of temporal coding to odor coding and odor perception in humans

    Ofer Perl, Nahum Nahum ... Rafi Haddad
    Human participants fail to discriminate between odor sequences that activate the same neurons at different orders, pointing against a substantial role for neuron activation time in the odor code.

    Clusters of cooperative ion channels enable a membrane-potential-based mechanism for short-term memory

    Paul Pfeiffer, Alexei V Egorov ... Susanne Schreiber
    Independently gating ion channels typically act fast within milliseconds, but cooperative interactions within a cluster of channels allow for a memory of previous electrical activity for several seconds.

    Physical Inference: How the brain represents mass

    Grant Fairchild, Jacqueline C Snow
    New fMRI experiments and machine learning are helping to identify how the mass of objects is processed in the brain.
