    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.

    Different contributions of preparatory activity in the basal ganglia and cerebellum for self-timing

    Jun Kunimatsu, Tomoki W Suzuki ... Masaki Tanaka
    Neuronal activity in the striatum keeps track of elapsed time during the time production task while that in the cerebellum correlates with stochastic variation of self-timing in the range of several hundreds of milliseconds.

    Matrin 3-dependent neurotoxicity is modified by nucleic acid binding and nucleocytoplasmic localization

    Ahmed M Malik, Roberto A Miguez ... Sami J Barmada
    The deposition of Matrin 3, a DNA/RNA binding protein implicated in ALS and FTD, results in neurodegeneration dependent upon its localization, self-association, and ability to bind nucleic acids.

    Alpha protocadherins and Pyk2 kinase regulate cortical neuron migration and cytoskeletal dynamics via Rac1 GTPase and WAVE complex in mice

    Li Fan, Yichao Lu ... Qiang Wu
    A general cytoplasmic signaling mechanism for the novel functions of diverse alpha protocadherins in cortical neuron migration and actin cytoskeletal dynamics as well as dendrite morphogenesis in the brain.

    Assessing reliability in neuroimaging research through intra-class effect decomposition (ICED)

    Andreas M Brandmaier, Elisabeth Wenger ... Ulman Lindenberger
    In human neuroimaging, the intra-class effect decomposition (ICED) framework indexes overall reliability, and enables researchers to identify and quantify multi-source contributions to measurement error with the goal of developing more reliable measures.

    Phase-tuned neuronal firing encodes human contextual representations for navigational goals

    Andrew J Watrous, Jonathan Miller ... Joshua Jacobs
    Prospective navigational goals are represented by single neuron firing rates and firing relative to slow oscillatory phase (phase coding) in the human medial temporal lobe.

    Tenectin recruits integrin to stabilize bouton architecture and regulate vesicle release at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction

    Qi Wang, Tae Hee Han ... Mihaela Serpe
    Characterization of Tnc as a selective integrin ligand at the Drosophila NMJ allows for unprecedented insights into our understanding of extracellular matrix/integrin interactions at synaptic locations and reveals novel, distinct presynaptic and postsynaptic integrin functions.

    Large-scale network integration in the human brain tracks temporal fluctuations in memory encoding performance

    Ruedeerat Keerativittayayut, Ryuta Aoki ... Kiyoshi Nakahara
    Graph analysis revealed that spontaneous fluctuations of episodic-memory encoding performance associate with time-varying brain connectivity networks.
