    Distinct spatial coordinate of visual and vestibular heading signals in macaque FEFsem and MSTd

    Lihua Yang, Yong Gu
    In both frontal and temporal–parietal visual cortices of macaque, distinct spatial coordinates of visual and vestibular signals are predominantly eye centered and head centered, respectively.

    Gyrification of the cerebral cortex requires FGF signaling in the mammalian brain

    Naoyuki Matsumoto, Yohei Shinmyo ... Hiroshi Kawasaki
    FGF signaling is crucial for gyrus formation, proliferation of outer radial glial cells and expansion of upper layers of the cerebral cortex in gyrencephalic mammals.

    The rate of transient beta frequency events predicts behavior across tasks and species

    Hyeyoung Shin, Robert Law ... Stephanie R Jones
    Across species, tasks and recording modalities, the rate of transient neocortical beta frequency (15-29Hz) events strongly predicts perceptual ability, providing fundamental mechanistic insight, with implications for tracking and manipulating brain dynamics.

    Two receptor tyrosine phosphatases dictate the depth of axonal stabilizing layer in the visual system

    Satoko Hakeda-Suzuki, Hiroki Takechi ... Takashi Suzuki
    Two receptor tyrosine phosphatases having overlapping function for the determination of the final axon stabilizing layer is encoded for their cumulative cytoplasmic activity and ligand specificity in the visual system.

    Dendritic small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels activated by action potentials suppress EPSPs and gate spike-timing dependent synaptic plasticity

    Scott L Jones, Minh-Son To, Greg J Stuart
    The activation of small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in spines by action potentials regulates the induction of spike-timing dependent synaptic plasticity during low-frequency single action potential–EPSP pairing.

    Neuropathological and transcriptomic characteristics of the aged brain

    Jeremy A Miller, Angela Guillozet-Bongaarts ... Ed Lein
    High variability in neuropathology burden and interactions between dementia diagnosis and RNA quality present underappreciated complications when studying dementia in an aged population.

    A corticostriatal deficit promotes temporal distortion of automatic action in ageing

    Miriam Matamales, Zala Skrbis ... Jesus Bertran-Gonzalez
    Acquisition of behavioral sequences in normally aged mice involves short and unusually fast patterns of action, some of which are reproduced by striatal circuitry manipulations in young mice and can be transitorily restored through action-related feedback.

    Maintained avalanche dynamics during task-induced changes of neuronal activity in nonhuman primates

    Shan Yu, Tiago L Ribeiro ... Dietmar Plenz
    Ongoing and stimulus-evoked brain activity in cortex are shown in nonhuman primates to follow the organization of neuronal avalanches, a core commonality that might guide optimal information processing in the brain.

    Computer assisted detection of axonal bouton structural plasticity in in vivo time-lapse images

    Rohan Gala, Daniel Lebrecht ... Armen Stepanyants
    BoutonAnalyzer software makes it possible to detect axonal boutons and measure their structural plasticity in long-term in vivo imaging experiments.

    Two single-point mutations shift the ligand selectivity of a pheromone receptor between two closely related moth species

    Ke Yang, Ling-Qiao Huang ... Chen-Zhu Wang
    Differing from its ortholog in Helicoverpa armigera, pheromone receptor HassOr14b is tuned to the major sex pheromone component in H. assulta, and two amino acids in the intracellular domain determine their ligand selectivity.
