    Different roles of D1/D2 medium spiny neurons in the nucleus accumbens in pair bond formation of male mandarin voles

    Lizi Zhang, Yishan Qu ... Fa-Dao Tai
    In male mandarin voles, D1 and D2 medium spiny neurons within the nucleus accumbens shell exert distinct influences on pair bond formation.

    Hierarchy between forelimb premotor and primary motor cortices and its manifestation in their firing patterns

    Akiko Saiki-Ishikawa, Mark Agrios ... Andrew Miri
    During reaching in mice, forelimb premotor cortex has a stronger influence on primary motor cortex than vice versa, but several functional connectivity measures fail to reflect this asymmetry.

    Uncertainty-modulated prediction errors in cortical microcircuits

    Katharina Anna Wilmes, Mihai A Petrovici ... Walter Senn
    A new model of how the brain's circuits compute uncertainty and use it during learning by modulating prediction error responses.

    Imaging of brain electric field networks with spatially resolved EEG

    Lawrence R Frank, Vitaly L Galinsky ... Antigona Martinez
    A physics-based solution to the electroencephalography (EEG) inverse problem enables whole-brain electric field imaging with high spatial and temporal resolution using standard EEG systems.

    Location- and feature-based selection histories make independent, qualitatively distinct contributions to urgent visuomotor performance

    Emily E Oor, Emilio Salinas, Terrence R Stanford
    During visual search, the choice of where to look next is biased to a remarkable degree by the location and color histories of recently viewed target stimuli.

    Context-dependent modulations of subthalamo-cortical synchronization during rapid reversals of movement direction in Parkinson’s disease

    Lucie Winkler, Markus Butz ... Jan Hirschmann
    Beta synchrony between motor cortex and the subthalamic nucleus is intensified when instructional cues within a continuous motor sequence become less predictable, calling for more cautious behavior.

    A ventral hippocampal-lateral septum pathway regulates social novelty preference

    Maha Rashid, Sarah Thomas ... Malavika Murugan
    Projection-specific optogenetic and chemogenetic experiments reveal a hippocampal-lateral septal pathway that potentially acts via the ventral tegmental area to regulate social novelty preference behaviors.

    The role of GABA in semantic memory and its neuroplasticity

    JeYoung Jung, Steve Williams, Matthew A Lambon Ralph
    GABAergic inhibition in the anterior temporal lobe shapes semantic memory and its neuroplasticity through a non-linear relationship, revealing a neurochemical basis for individual differences.

    Chemogenetic stimulation of phrenic motor output and diaphragm activity

    Ethan S Benevides, Prajwal P Thakre ... David D Fuller
    DREADD-mediated activation of phrenic motor output produces sustained increases in diaphragm activity and tidal volume, highlighting a potential strategy to restore breathing in clinical conditions associated with impaired diaphragm activation.

    Otoacoustic emissions but not behavioral measurements predict cochlear nerve frequency tuning in an avian vocal communication specialist

    Diana M Karosas, Leslie Gonzales ... Kenneth S Henry
    Otoacoustic emissions recorded noninvasively from the ear canal accurately predict cochlear frequency tuning in an avian species, in contrast to previously tested classical behavioral methods.
