    Two-photon calcium imaging of the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus without cortical invasion

    Masashi Kondo, Kenta Kobayashi ... Masanori Matsuzaki
    Establishment of two-photon imaging with a 1100-nm laser, which underfills the objective's back aperture, detects activity of multiple neurons in the prelimbic area and hippocampal CA1 region of the intact mouse brain.

    Pedunculopontine glutamatergic neurons control spike patterning in substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons

    Daniel J Galtieri, Chad M Estep ... D James Surmeier
    Pedunculopontine neurons can evoke burst spiking in substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons without engaging a subtype of glutamate receptor previously thought to be necessary for this spiking mode.

    Causal evidence for lateral prefrontal cortex dynamics supporting cognitive control

    Derek Evan Nee, Mark D'Esposito
    Non-invasive brain stimulation tests and refines a model of lateral prefrontal cortex neural dynamics supporting cognitive control.

    Native KCC2 interactome reveals PACSIN1 as a critical regulator of synaptic inhibition

    Vivek Mahadevan, C Sahara Khademullah ... Melanie A Woodin
    Unbiased functional proteomics reveal that protein interactions are a key regulator of the strength of synaptic inhibition in neurons of the central nervous system.

    Non-synaptic signaling from cerebellar climbing fibers modulates Golgi cell activity

    Angela K Nietz, Jada H Vaden ... Jacques I Wadiche
    Climbing fiber glutamate spillover enhances response complexity and regulates signaling to Golgi cells through a form of transmission not constrained to synapses.

    Synaptic up-scaling preserves motor circuit output after chronic, natural inactivity

    Joseph M Santin, Mauricio Vallejo, Lynn K Hartzler
    Synaptic scaling maintains motor output from the respiratory network of bullfrogs after months of inactivity in the winter, providing evidence for homeostatic plasticity in response to large ecologically relevant perturbations in neuronal activity.

    Cell-specific gain modulation by synaptically released zinc in cortical circuits of audition

    Charles T Anderson, Manoj Kumar ... Thanos Tzounopoulos
    Synaptic zinc is a novel modulator of cortical sound processing - a modulator that increases the gain of principal neurons, but reduces the gain of interneurons.

    Clearance of beta-amyloid is facilitated by apolipoprotein E and circulating high-density lipoproteins in bioengineered human vessels

    Jerome Robert, Emily B Button ... Cheryl L Wellington
    Modelling beta-amyloid deposition in bioengineered human vessels represents a notable advance to further investigate the role of the vasculature in Alzheimer's disease.

    Molecular architecture underlying fluid absorption by the developing inner ear

    Keiji Honda, Sung Huhn Kim ... Andrew J Griffith
    Genome-wide RNA-seq analysis of single cells of the developing mouse endolymphatic sac reveals its molecular-cellular architecture and a model for salt and fluid absorption required for acquisition of normal inner ear structure and function.

    The human auditory brainstem response to running speech reveals a subcortical mechanism for selective attention

    Antonio Elia Forte, Octave Etard, Tobias Reichenbach
    Selective attention to one of two speakers consistently modulates the response of the human auditory brainstem to each speaker's pitch.
