    The representational space of observed actions

    Raffaele Tucciarelli, Moritz Wurm ... Angelika Lingnau
    Representational similarity analysis of human functional magnetic resonance imaging data demonstrates that the lateral occipitotemporal cortex represents action knowledge along dimensions that are in accordance with behavioural judgements.

    Spatiotemporal constraints on optogenetic inactivation in cortical circuits

    Nuo Li, Susu Chen ... Karel Svoboda
    Electrophysiology measurements characterized eight optogenetic methods, including a new reporter mouse expressing soma-localized light-activated chloride channels, for inactivating small regions of mouse neocortex.

    Interhemispherically dynamic representation of an eye movement-related activity in mouse frontal cortex

    Takashi R Sato, Takahide Itokazu ... Tatsuo K Sato
    Optogenetically induced motor disruption can evoke plasticity in the mouse frontal cortex that compensates for the motor deficits, accompanying changes in inter-hemispheric motor representation.

    Cerebellar nuclei excitatory neurons regulate developmental scaling of presynaptic Purkinje cell number and organ growth

    Ryan T Willett, N Sumru Bayin ... Alexandra L Joyner
    The first born excitatory cerebellar nuclei neurons influence the survival of their Purkinje cell partners which stimulate the expansion of granule cells and interneurons to produce functional local circuits.

    Punishment insensitivity emerges from impaired contingency detection, not aversion insensitivity or reward dominance

    Philip Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel, Cassandra Ma ... Gavan P McNally
    Behavioral analyses show that individuals insensitive to punishment are afraid of aversive events, they are simply unable to change their behaviour to avoid them.

    Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) regulates the circadian clock

    Andrea Brenna, Iwona Olejniczak ... Urs Albrecht
    Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 regulates the circadian clock involving phosphorylation of the PER2 protein.

    Drosophila PSI controls circadian period and the phase of circadian behavior under temperature cycle via tim splicing

    Lauren E Foley, Jinli Ling ... Patrick Emery
    A screen targeting RNA-associated proteins reveals that PSI regulates timeless alternative splicing and thus controls the period of Drosophila circadian behavior and its phase under temperature cycles.

    Thermosensitive alternative splicing senses and mediates temperature adaptation in Drosophila

    Ane Martin Anduaga, Naveh Evantal ... Sebastian Kadener
    Temperature controls the circadian clock by directly regulating the alternative splicing of timeless..

    Tight junction protein occludin regulates progenitor Self-Renewal and survival in developing cortex

    Raphael M Bendriem, Shawn Singh ... M Elizabeth Ross
    That early cortical neural progenitor divisions strictly require OCLN isoform expression is a paradigm shift in the functional consideration of this protein best known for promoting between-cell barrier functions.

    Analysis of stochastic fluctuations in responsiveness is a critical step toward personalized anesthesia

    Andrew R McKinstry-Wu, Andrzej Z Wasilczuk ... Alexander Proekt
    Responses to anesthetics differ among individuals and fluctuate stochastically despite constant drug concentration, however, the amount of noise driving transitions between the responsive and the unresponsive state is conserved.
