    Ca2+ sensor synaptotagmin-1 mediates exocytosis in mammalian photoreceptors

    Justin J Grassmeyer, Asia L Cahill ... Wallace B Thoreson
    The vesicular Ca2+ sensor synaptotagmin-1 regulates both fast phasic and slow tonic glutamate release at ribbon synapses of rod and cone photoreceptor cells.

    Molecular determinants in Frizzled, Reck, and Wnt7a for ligand-specific signaling in neurovascular development

    Chris Cho, Yanshu Wang ... Jeremy Nathans
    Molecular dissection of Frizzled, Reck, and Wnt7a provides critical insight into the long-standing question of ligand-receptor specificity in the field of Wnt signaling.

    Slow presynaptic mechanisms that mediate adaptation in the olfactory pathway of Drosophila

    Carlotta Martelli, André Fiala
    Slow presynaptic depression in olfactory receptor neurons rescales combinatorial odor representations in postsynaptic neurons and mediates the encoding of stimulus mean and variance.

    Philosophy of Biology: Seizing an opportunity

    Perry Zurn, Danielle S Bassett
    Historical texts offer researchers in neuroscience, philosophy and literature the opportunity to work together to explore mysteries of the mind and human behavior.

    Acetic acid activates distinct taste pathways in Drosophila to elicit opposing, state-dependent feeding responses

    Anita V Devineni, Bei Sun ... Richard Axel
    A single taste input, acetic acid, elicits opposing behavioral outputs depending on a fly's hunger state.

    Anatomical and physiological foundations of cerebello-hippocampal interaction

    Thomas Charles Watson, Pauline Obiang ... Laure Rondi-Reig
    Anatomical tracing and physiological recordings reveal neuronal pathways through which the cerebellum may influence hippocampal activity.

    Post-decision processing in primate prefrontal cortex influences subsequent choices on an auditory decision-making task

    Joji Tsunada, Yale Cohen, Joshua I Gold
    A behavioral model, neuronal recordings, and electrical microstimulation reveal that the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex plays a causal role in evaluating prior decisions and biasing future decisions.
    1. Neuroscience

    Accelerated redevelopment of vocal skills is preceded by lasting reorganization of the song motor circuitry

    Michiel Vellema, Mariana Diales Rocha ... Manfred Gahr
    The ability to quickly re-acquire a previously lost motor skill is associated with lasting synaptic changes in the brain circuit that controls that motor skill.
    1. Neuroscience

    Complementary congruent and opposite neurons achieve concurrent multisensory integration and segregation

    Wen-Hao Zhang, He Wang ... Si Wu
    Opposite neurons in multisensory areas compute the cue disparity information essential for information segregation.
    1. Neuroscience

    The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex computes task-invariant relative subjective value for self and other

    Matthew Piva, Kayla Velnoskey ... Steve WC Chang
    Activity in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex encodes relative subjective value in a common neural code across decision-making for self and other and across tasks with divergent cognitive requirements.
