    Poor coherence in older people's speech is explained by impaired semantic and executive processes

    Paul Hoffman, Ekaterina Loginova, Asatta Russell
    Remaining focused on the topic at hand when speaking depends on effective selection of task-relevant semantic knowledge, and declines in this ability account for increases in off-topic speech in older people.

    Building a functional connectome of the Drosophila central complex

    Romain Franconville, Celia Beron, Vivek Jayaraman
    The central complex, a highly conserved insect brain region important for navigation, is characterized by a high degree of recurrence and a sparseness of output pathways.

    Adaptation after vastus lateralis denervation in rats demonstrates neural regulation of joint stresses and strains

    Cristiano Alessandro, Benjamin A Rellinger ... Matthew C Tresch
    The adaptation strategy used by the nervous system following muscle paralysis restores task performance while minimizing the stresses and strains within a joint.

    FluoEM, virtual labeling of axons in three-dimensional electron microscopy data for long-range connectomics

    Florian Drawitsch, Ali Karimi ... Moritz Helmstaedter
    Methodology to annotate the multiple origins of axonal projections in dense electron microscopy data of mammalian nervous tissue without the need of chemical label conversion is reported.

    Causal contribution and dynamical encoding in the striatum during evidence accumulation

    Michael M Yartsev, Timothy D Hanks ... Carlos D Brody
    Behavioral, pharmacological, optogenetic, electrophysiological and computational analyses suggest that the anterior dorsal striatum is a causal node in the network responsible for evidence accumulation.

    Prognostication of chronic disorders of consciousness using brain functional networks and clinical characteristics

    Ming Song, Yi Yang ... Tianzi Jiang
    Behavioral, pharmacological, optogenetic, electrophysiological and computational analyses suggest that the anterior dorsal striatum is a causal node in the network responsible for evidence accumulation.

    Conditioning sharpens the spatial representation of rewarded stimuli in mouse primary visual cortex

    Pieter M Goltstein, Guido T Meijer, Cyriel MA Pennartz
    Stimulus-reward learning sharpens the local representation of the visual space while leaving the overall retinotopic map intact.

    Injury-induced perivascular niche supports alternative differentiation of adult rodent CNS progenitor cells

    Justyna Ulanska-Poutanen, Jakub Mieczkowski ... Malgorzata Zawadzka
    Distinctive microenvironments within demyelinated white matter determine fate decisions of adult oligodendrocyte progenitor cells.

    Re-evaluation of neuronal P2X7 expression using novel mouse models and a P2X7-specific nanobody

    Karina Kaczmarek-Hajek, Jiong Zhang ... Annette Nicke
    A novel BAC transgenic mouse model reveals glial restriction of P2X7 expression in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

    The retromer complex safeguards against neural progenitor-derived tumorigenesis by regulating Notch receptor trafficking

    Bo Li, Chouin Wong ... Yan Song
    The retromer complex serves as a bomb squad to retrieve and disarm the potentially harmful pool of Notch receptors in a timely manner and thereby safeguards against brain tumor formation.
