    Inferring control objectives in a virtual balancing task in humans and monkeys

    Mohsen Sadeghi, Reza Sharif Razavian ... Dagmar Sternad
    A virtual balancing task with parallel experiments on human and non-human primates revealed a spectrum of behaviors (classified by a computational model into position, velocity, or mixed control strategy) that can serve as basis for analyzing neural population dynamics.

    Retinal metabolism displays evidence for uncoupling of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation via Cori-, Cahill-, and mini-Krebs-cycle

    Yiyi Chen, Laimdota Zizmare ... Christoph Trautwein
    Targeted manipulations on organotypic cultures show that the retina switches between at least four different metabolic pathways, each with different yields and kinetics, to dynamically adapt to momentaneous energy needs.

    Txnip deletions and missense alleles prolong the survival of cones in a retinitis pigmentosa mouse model

    Yunlu Xue, Yimin Zhou, Constance L Cepko
    Multiple alleles of Txnip, which can interact with several different proteins, including Hsp90AB1, were tested for their ability to prolong the survival of cone photoreceptors in diseases leading to blindness.

    Parallel processing of quickly and slowly mobilized reserve vesicles in hippocampal synapses

    Juan Jose Rodriguez Gotor, Kashif Mahfooz ... John F Wesseling
    Reevaluation of reserve synaptic vesicle pools supports a new model of presynaptic function.

    Large-scale deorphanization of Nematostella vectensis neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptors supports the independent expansion of bilaterian and cnidarian peptidergic systems

    Daniel Thiel, Luis Alfonso Yañez Guerra ... Gáspár Jékely
    The identification of 31 neuropeptide GPCRs in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis provides a rich resource to study peptidergic signaling in cnidarians and suggests that cnidarian and bilaterian peptidergic systems diversified independent from each other from a few ancestral systems.

    Knockdown of PHOX2B in the retrotrapezoid nucleus reduces the central CO2 chemoreflex in rats

    Silvia Cardani, Tara A Janes ... Silvia Pagliardini
    Knockdown of PHOX2B in the chemosensitive area of the retrotrapezoid nucleus of adult rats reduces CO2 responses and the expression of the proton sensors TASK2 and GPR4.

    Experience transforms crossmodal object representations in the anterior temporal lobes

    Aedan Yue Li, Natalia Ladyka-Wojcik ... Morgan D Barense
    Anterior temporal lobe structures differentiated learned from non-learned crossmodal objects, evidence of integrated crossmodal object representations.
