    The computation of directional selectivity in the Drosophila OFF motion pathway

    Eyal Gruntman, Sandro Romani, Michael B Reiser
    ON and OFF visual motion is computed with the same algorithm despite differences in circuit architecture.

    Default mode-visual network hypoconnectivity in an autism subtype with pronounced social visual engagement difficulties

    Michael V Lombardo, Lisa Eyler ... Karen Pierce
    Functional hypoconnectivity between ‘social brain’ default mode circuitry and visual association cortex underpins a subtype of autistic toddlers with a strong preference to attend to the non-social visual world.

    Calretinin positive neurons form an excitatory amplifier network in the spinal cord dorsal horn

    Kelly M Smith, Tyler J Browne ... Brett A Graham
    A signal amplifier network that transmits mechanical pain is delineated through characterising an excitatory interneuron population in the spinal cord dorsal horn and defining the postsynaptic populations they regulate.

    Mechanisms of hyperexcitability in Alzheimer’s disease hiPSC-derived neurons and cerebral organoids vs isogenic controls

    Swagata Ghatak, Nima Dolatabadi ... Stuart A Lipton
    Increased excitation and decreased inhibition associated with abnormal neuronal morphology, aberrant ion channel properties, and synaptic dysfunction contribute to hyperexcitability in Alzheimer’s disease hiPSC-derived neuronal cultures and cerebral organoids.

    Agonist-specific voltage-dependent gating of lysosomal two-pore Na+ channels

    Xiaoli Zhang, Wei Chen ... Haoxing Xu
    Tricyclic antidepressants activate lysosomal two-pore Na+ channels in a voltage-dependent manner.

    Alpha/beta power decreases track the fidelity of stimulus-specific information

    Benjamin James Griffiths, Stephen D Mayhew ... Simon Hanslmayr
    Neural representations of stimulus-specific information increase in fidelity as the power of alpha/beta activity decreases, suggesting that alpha/beta power decreases reflect a domain-general mechanism that supports information representation.

    The role of premature evidence accumulation in making difficult perceptual decisions under temporal uncertainty

    Ciara A Devine, Christine Gaffney ... Redmond G O'Connell
    Temporal uncertainty interferes with the timely onset of evidence accumulation in perceptual decision making prompting the brain to rely instead on statistical regularities in the temporal structure of the environment.

    Causal links between parietal alpha activity and spatial auditory attention

    Yuqi Deng, Robert MG Reinhart ... Barbara G Shinn-Cunningham
    Stimulating one side of parietal cortex using an appropriate frequency of alternating current interferes with attention to a sound stream from a location on the opposite side of a space.

    A novel lineage of candidate pheromone receptors for sex communication in moths

    Lucie Bastin-Héline, Arthur de Fouchier ... Nicolas Montagné
    In moths, male receptors tuned to type I female pheromones may not have a monophyletic origin.

    Replay as wavefronts and theta sequences as bump oscillations in a grid cell attractor network

    Louis Kang, Michael R DeWeese
    An experimentally supported model of grid cells naturally enables them to participate in firing sequences that encode rapid trajectories in space.
