    Pre-saccadic remapping relies on dynamics of spatial attention

    Martin Szinte, Donatas Jonikaitis ... Heiner Deubel
    To see the world stable across saccades, the brain compensates retinal shifts induced by the movements, pre-saccadic maps of sensitivity reveal that this process takes time and follows attentional dynamics.

    Balance between BDNF and Semaphorins gates the innervation of the mammary gland

    Hadas Sar Shalom, Ron Goldner ... Avraham Yaron
    The innervation of the mammary gland is controlled by opposing effects of neurotrophic and repulsive factors and, once trophic signaling is inhibited the repulsive factors, may promote axonal pruning.

    Tuning of delta-protocadherin adhesion through combinatorial diversity

    Adam J Bisogni, Shila Ghazanfar ... David M Lin
    Combinatorial expression patterns of δ-Pcdhs are defined within single neurons, and in vitro assays are employed to establish guiding principles used by this gene family to mediate cell adhesion.

    Potentiation of cerebellar Purkinje cells facilitates whisker reflex adaptation through increased simple spike activity

    Vincenzo Romano, Licia De Propris ... Chris I De Zeeuw
    Physiological and behavioral analyses show that expression of cerebellar whisker learning can be mediated by increased simple spike activity, depending on LTP induction at parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapses.

    eIF2B activator prevents neurological defects caused by a chronic integrated stress response

    Yao Liang Wong, Lauren LeBon ... Carmela Sidrauski
    Boosting the function of translation factor eIF2B by chronic small molecule administration prevents pathology in a neurodegenerative model of Vanishing White Matter disease characterized by a maladaptive stress response.

    Complex spike synchrony dependent modulation of rat deep cerebellar nuclear activity

    Tianyu Tang, Timothy A Blenkinsop, Eric J Lang
    The importance of synchronous Purkinje cell complex spikes for controlling cerebellar output was investigated by simultaneously recording from cerebellar nuclear cells and arrays of Purkinje cells that synapse onto them.

    Auxiliary subunits keep AMPA receptors compact during activation and desensitization

    Jelena Baranovic, Andrew JR Plested
    The auxiliary protein Stargazin limits the conformational dynamics of AMPA-type glutamate receptors in cell membranes, as revealed by 'molecular rulers' deployed on the seconds to milliseconds timescale.

    Evoked transients of pH-sensitive fluorescent false neurotransmitter reveal dopamine hot spots in the globus pallidus

    Jozsef Meszaros, Timothy Cheung ... David Sulzer
    Dopamine release within the mouse external globus pallidus, an area of very sparse innervation, is observed and described for the first time through a new technique: flashing false fluorescent neurotransmitters.

    A prediction model of working memory across health and psychiatric disease using whole-brain functional connectivity

    Masahiro Yamashita, Yujiro Yoshihara ... Hiroshi Imamizu
    Human neuroimaging and machine learning reveals a generalizable relationship between brain connectivity and working memory ability across healthy populations and distinct psychiatric diagnoses.

    Contrast sensitivity reveals an oculomotor strategy for temporally encoding space

    Antonino Casile, Jonathan D Victor, Michele Rucci
    Fixational eye movements transform the spatial scene into temporal modulations on the retina, which, together with the known sensitivities of retinal neurons, provide a comprehensive account of human spatial sensitivity.
