    Human and nonhuman primate meninges harbor lymphatic vessels that can be visualized noninvasively by MRI

    Martina Absinta, Seung-Kwon Ha ... Daniel S Reich
    Meningeal lymphatic vessels are present in human and nonhuman primates (common marmoset monkeys) and they can be noninvasively imaged and mapped in vivo with high-resolution, clinical MRI.

    The P2X7 receptor forms a dye-permeable pore independent of its intracellular domain but dependent on membrane lipid composition

    Akira Karasawa, Kevin Michalski ... Toshimitsu Kawate
    Functional reconstitution of a mammalian P2X7 receptor uncovers an intrinsic and lipid-dependent dye-permeable membrane pore.

    Golgi-independent secretory trafficking through recycling endosomes in neuronal dendrites and spines

    Aaron B Bowen, Ashley M Bourke ... Matthew J Kennedy
    Neurons use a non-canonical secretory network to deliver select proteins to postsynaptic sites in dendrites.

    The heritability of multi-modal connectivity in human brain activity

    Giles L Colclough, Stephen M Smith ... Mark W Woolrich
    Genes play an important role in determining the strength of functional connectivity in the human brain, and seem to outweigh the contribution from the developmental environment.

    Unusual prism adaptation reveals how grasping is controlled

    Willemijn D Schot, Eli Brenner, Jeroen BJ Smeets
    Adapting single-digit movements in opposite directions makes people open their grip in accordance with the adaptations of the individual digits, showing that grip aperture arises from goal-directed movements of the digits rather than being controlled independently.

    Multiple conserved cell adhesion protein interactions mediate neural wiring of a sensory circuit in C. elegans

    Byunghyuk Kim, Scott W Emmons
    The formation of neuronal connectivity of a C. elegans neuron pair is promoted by multiplexed interactions of neural cell adhesion proteins, which are evolutionarily conserved across animal taxa.

    Automated long-term recording and analysis of neural activity in behaving animals

    Ashesh K Dhawale, Rajesh Poddar ... Bence P Ölveczky
    A new automated system for recording and analyzing neural activity in behaving animals over months-long time-scales offers new perspectives on how neural circuits underlie processes such as learning, development, and recovery from brain injury.

    Preconditioned cues have no value

    Melissa J Sharpe, Hannah M Batchelor, Geoffrey Schoenbaum
    Preconditioned cues provide information about an associative model but do not, by default, trigger representations of value, either model-based or model-free.

    A synaptotagmin suppressor screen indicates SNARE binding controls the timing and Ca2+ cooperativity of vesicle fusion

    Zhuo Guan, Maria Bykhovskaia ... J Troy Littleton
    A suppressor screen of dominant-negative synaptotagmin-induced lethality in Drosophila identifies key properties of the protein that regulate fusion, including the SNARE interaction surface.

    Biochemical adaptations of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium support a metabolic ecosystem in the vertebrate eye

    Mark A Kanow, Michelle M Giarmarco ... James B Hurley
    Metabolic relationships between cells in the retina and retinal pigment epithelium are fundamental to retinal function, retinal disease and age-related vision loss and they may provide strategies for metabolism-based therapies.
