    How biological attention mechanisms improve task performance in a large-scale visual system model

    Grace W Lindsay, Kenneth D Miller
    Implementing neural changes associated with attention in a deep neural network causes performance changes that mimic those observed in humans and macaques.

    Physiological constraint on acrobatic courtship behavior underlies rapid sympatric speciation in bearded manakins

    Meredith C Miles, Franz Goller, Matthew J Fuxjager
    Skeletal muscle performance sets the course of rapid speciation by defining the evolutionary trajectory of reproductive behavior.

    Real-time classification of experience-related ensemble spiking patterns for closed-loop applications

    Davide Ciliberti, Frédéric Michon, Fabian Kloosterman
    A brain–computer interface for real-time identification of transient neural activity patterns enables causal inference of the role of these patterns in cognition through closed-loop manipulation.

    The fate of hippocampal synapses depends on the sequence of plasticity-inducing events

    J Simon Wiegert, Mauro Pulin ... Thomas G Oertner
    Non-invasive optogenetic induction of synaptic plasticity revealed that long-term potentiation and long-term depression alter the chances of a synapse to survive the next seven days.

    Engineering induction of singular neural rosette emergence within hPSC-derived tissues

    Gavin T Knight, Brady F Lundin ... Randolph Scott Ashton
    A bioengineering approach identifies tissue morphology as an effective variable for controlling the inception of neural organoid morphogenesis via induction of a biomimetic, singular neural rosette tissue cytoarchitecture.

    Central Dicer-miR-103/107 controls developmental switch of POMC progenitors into NPY neurons and impacts glucose homeostasis

    Sophie Croizier, Soyoung Park ... Sebastien G Bouret
    Loss miRNA maturation in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons causes metabolic dysregulation and favors the differentiation of Pomc progenitors into neuropeptide Y neurons, a developmental process that appears to specifically involve miR-103/107.

    Ongoing, rational calibration of reward-driven perceptual biases

    Yunshu Fan, Joshua I Gold, Long Ding
    The rational application of heuristic learning strategies and satisficing goals accounted for near-optimal decisions that combined reward and noisy visual information by well-trained monkeys.

    Environmental deformations dynamically shift the grid cell spatial metric

    Alexandra T Keinath, Russell A Epstein, Vijay Balasubramanian
    When a familiar environment is reshaped, the grid cell spatial code is dynamically anchored to recently encountered boundaries and changes throughout exploration with the specific movement history of the navigator.

    Selective increases in inter-individual variability in response to environmental enrichment in female mice

    Julia C Körholz, Sara Zocher ... Gerd Kempermann
    The classical experimental paradigm of "enriched environments" is repositioned as a tool to address the question of how behavioral activity and the environment contribute to specific differences between individuals.

    Reduced auditory cortical adaptation in autism spectrum disorder

    Rachel Millin, Tamar Kolodny ... Scott Murray
    Neural adaptation in auditory cortex is reduced in autism spectrum disorder, resulting in increased neural responsiveness.
