    Orbital frontal cortex updates state-induced value change for decision-making

    Emily T Baltz, Ege A Yalcinbas ... Christina M Gremel
    Orbital frontal cortex projection neuron activity is necessary to update state-dependent value change to control model-based behavior.

    Multi-scale mapping along the auditory hierarchy using high-resolution functional UltraSound in the awake ferret

    Célian Bimbard, Charlie Demene ... Yves Boubenec
    Functional UltraSound imaging allows mapping tonotopic organisation in multiple auditory subcortical and cortical brain structures with an unprecedented spatial functional resolution, while giving access to long-distance top-down connectivity pattern from frontal cortex to auditory cortex.

    Adaptive coding for dynamic sensory inference

    Wiktor F Młynarski, Ann M Hermundstad
    To make reliable but metabolically efficient perceptual inferences in a changing world, neural systems should dynamically adapt based on surprise and uncertainty about the sensory environment.

    Inert and seed-competent tau monomers suggest structural origins of aggregation

    Hilda Mirbaha, Dailu Chen ... Marc I Diamond
    Tau protein exists as two conformational ensembles, one inert, and another that has intrinsic properties of self-association, triggers seeding in cells and in vitro, and is associated with Alzheimer's disease.

    Alzheimer’s Disease: The two shapes of the Tau protein

    Jeffery W Kelly
    Tau proteins can convert from an inert shape to a misfolded shape that seeds the growth of fibers that contribute to the pathology of Alzheimer's disease.

    Optogenetic dissection of descending behavioral control in Drosophila

    Jessica Cande, Shigehiro Namiki ... Gordon J Berman
    Optogenetically activated individual descending neurons in Drosophila melanogaster drive varied stereotyped motor patterns that are often influenced by the animal's initial behavioral state.

    Spatial cell firing during virtual navigation of open arenas by head-restrained mice

    Guifen Chen, John Andrew King ... Neil Burgess
    A mouse virtual reality system is presented which allows normal spatial behavior and place, grid and head-direction cell firing patterns in 2-D arenas, and is compatible with electrophysiology and multi-photon imaging.

    Ultra-Rapid serial visual presentation reveals dynamics of feedforward and feedback processes in the ventral visual pathway

    Yalda Mohsenzadeh, Sheng Qin ... Dimitrios Pantazis
    Reducing visibility with higher image presentation rates increases recurrent processing demands along the visual processing pathway to resolve object recognition.

    Proteolytic maturation of α2δ controls the probability of synaptic vesicular release

    Laurent Ferron, Ivan Kadurin, Annette C Dolphin
    Proteolytic maturation of auxiliary α2δ subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels increases neuronal communication by controlling the synaptic release of neurotransmitter.

    Dual leucine zipper kinase is required for mechanical allodynia and microgliosis after nerve injury

    Josette J Wlaschin, Jacob M Gluski ... Claire E Le Pichon
    The DLK response pathway in neurons initiates the cascade of events leading to neuropathic pain after injury.
