    State-dependent cell-type-specific membrane potential dynamics and unitary synaptic inputs in awake mice

    Aurélie Pala, Carl CH Petersen
    Membrane potential recordings in awake mice from two genetically defined classes of neocortical inhibitory neurons reveal their distinct patterns of activity and unitary excitatory synaptic inputs, which are differentially modulated by behavior and local network activity.

    Recurrent network model for learning goal-directed sequences through reverse replay

    Tatsuya Haga, Tomoki Fukai
    The combination of short-term and long-term plasticity enables hippocampus to learn goal-directed paths through replay in a reversed order.

    Neurexin directs partner-specific synaptic connectivity in C. elegans

    Alison Philbrook, Shankar Ramachandran ... Michael M Francis
    Investigation of synapse development using a single neuron system illuminates how individual neurons specify connectivity with their postsynaptic partners and the central role of the synaptic organizer neurexin in this process.

    The dual role of chloride in synaptic vesicle glutamate transport

    Roger Chang, Jacob Eriksen, Robert H Edwards
    Whole endosome recording shows that chloride interacts with vesicular glutamate transporters as both allosteric activator and permeant ion, and although the mode of permeation differs, chloride and glutamate use a related conduction pathway.

    An automated high-resolution in vivo screen in zebrafish to identify chemical regulators of myelination

    Jason J Early, Katy LH Marshall-Phelps ... David A Lyons
    A fully automated high-resolution in vivo screening platform for zebrafish was implemented and used to identify novel compounds that regulate oligodendrocyte lineage progression.

    Down regulation of vestibular balance stabilizing mechanisms to enable transition between motor states

    Romain Tisserand, Christopher J Dakin ... Jean-Sébastien Blouin
    Down regulation of the gain from the vestibular sensory sources prior to the initiation of movement is a motor control solution to overcome the reflex-stabilizing mechanisms to enable motion from a postural orientation.

    Temporal processing and context dependency in Caenorhabditis elegans response to mechanosensation

    Mochi Liu, Anuj K Sharma ... Andrew M Leifer
    Caenorhabditis elegans behavioral response to a mechanosensory signal depends on both the temporal properties of the signal, such as its rate of change, and the animal's current behavior state.

    Impaired spatial memory codes in a mouse model of Rett syndrome

    Sara E Kee, Xiang Mou ... Daoyun Ji
    Hypersynchrony in a mouse model of Rett syndrome impairs ripple-dependent memory consolidation and leads to a decrease in experience-dependent refinement of place cell activities.

    PDF-1 neuropeptide signaling regulates sexually dimorphic gene expression in shared sensory neurons of C. elegans

    Zoë A Hilbert, Dennis H Kim
    Sex-specific neuropeptide signaling in the shared sensory nervous system regulates sexually dimorphic gene expression and male-specific behavior in C. elegans.

    Bidirectional encoding of motion contrast in the mouse superior colliculus

    Jad Barchini, Xuefeng Shi ... Jianhua Cang
    Two photon calcium imaging experiments show that excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the mouse superior colliculus are differentially modulated by the motion contrast between stimulus center and surround.
