    Population response magnitude variation in inferotemporal cortex predicts image memorability

    Andrew Jaegle, Vahid Mehrpour ... Nicole Rust
    Population response magnitude predicts how well an image will be remembered, in both monkey inferotemporal cortex and neural networks trained to categorize objects.

    The cerebellum is involved in processing of predictions and prediction errors in a fear conditioning paradigm

    Thomas Michael Ernst, Anna Evelina Brol ... Dagmar Timmann
    Pronounced cerebellar activation during unexpected omission of a potentially harmful event suggests that the cerebellum has to be added to the neural network processing prediction errors underlying emotional associative learning.

    Gain-of-function mutations in the UNC-2/CaV2α channel lead to excitation-dominant synaptic transmission in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Yung-Chi Huang, Jennifer K Pirri ... Mark J Alkema
    Caenorhabditis elegans studies indicate that gain-of-function mutations in the presynaptic voltage-gated calcium, associated with familial hemiplegic migraine in humans, result in excitatory-inhibitory imbalance in the nervous system.

    The adhesion-GPCR BAI1 shapes dendritic arbors via Bcr-mediated RhoA activation causing late growth arrest

    Joseph G Duman, Shalaka Mulherkar ... Kimberley F Tolias
    The adhesion-GPCR BAI1 shapes dendritic arbors in the hippocampus by associating with Bcr late in development and stimulating its RhoA-GEF activity, resulting in dendritic growth arrest.

    Mechanisms underlying sharpening of visual response dynamics with familiarity

    Sukbin Lim
    Changes in neural response dynamics observed with visual learning provide a novel means to dissect synaptic plasticity and its interplay with slow negative feedback via firing rate adaptation.

    Confidence predicts speed-accuracy tradeoff for subsequent decisions

    Kobe Desender, Annika Boldt ... Tobias H Donner
    Neural coding of previous-trial confidence affects current decision policy.

    Modulation of tonotopic ventral medial geniculate body is behaviorally relevant for speech recognition

    Paul Glad Mihai, Michelle Moerel ... Katharina von Kriegstein
    Ultra-high field neuroimaging dissects the ventral medial geniculate body (vMGB) of the primary auditory pathway from other MGB subregions and reveals that vMGB top-down modulation is relevant for speech recognition.

    In vivo imaging with a water immersion objective affects brain temperature, blood flow and oxygenation

    Morgane Roche, Emmanuelle Chaigneau ... Serge Charpak
    Brain temperature and oxygenation vary according to the imaging conditions during two-photon microscopy.

    Chronically implanted Neuropixels probes enable high-yield recordings in freely moving mice

    Ashley L Juavinett, George Bekheet, Anne K Churchland
    A new device enables researchers to use and recycle extracellular electrodes (e.g. Neuropixels) for high-yield recordings during freely moving mouse experiments.

    Mapping the human subcortical auditory system using histology, postmortem MRI and in vivo MRI at 7T

    Kevin R Sitek, Omer Faruk Gulban ... Federico De Martino
    MRI methods are promising techniques for investigating the human subcortical auditory system, and these publicly available data, atlases, and tools make researching human audition simpler and more reliable.
