    Small molecule induced oligomerization, clustering and clathrin-independent endocytosis of the dopamine transporter

    Tatiana Sorkina, Shiqi Ma ... Alexander Sorkin
    Dopamine transporter (DAT) interaction with furopyrimidine called AIM-100 in intact cells leads to dramatic oligomerization, nanoclustering and endocytosis of DAT by a novel mechanism coupled to the transporter molecule conformation.

    Synapse maintenance and restoration in the retina by NGL2

    Florentina Soto, Lei Zhao, Daniel Kerschensteiner
    Single cell knockout and overexpression reveal that the synaptic cell adhesion molecule NGL2 maintains synapses and axons, and can restore lost connections in the developing and mature retina.

    Large-scale replication study reveals a limit on probabilistic prediction in language comprehension

    Mante S Nieuwland, Stephen Politzer-Ahles ... Falk Huettig
    Large-scale replication study with brain potentials challenges the view that people routinely predict the phonological form of a predictable word during language comprehension.

    CK1/Doubletime activity delays transcription activation in the circadian clock

    Deniz Top, Jenna L O'Neil ... Michael W Young
    Doubletime kinase stabilizes the PER/TIM complex and regulates its transcriptional inhibition function to delay circadian transcriptional activity, helping sustain 24-hour periodicity in the circadian clock.

    Neurexin–Neuroligin 1 regulates synaptic morphology and functions via the WAVE regulatory complex in Drosophila neuromuscular junction

    Guanglin Xing, Moyi Li ... Wei Xie
    Neurexin–Neuroligin1 complex positively regulates F-actin assembly through direct interaction with WAVE complex to control normal synaptic growth and electrophysiological function in Drosophila neuromuscular junction.

    Cellular tolerance at the µ-opioid receptor is phosphorylation dependent

    Seksiri Arttamangkul, Daniel A Heinz ... John T Williams
    The role of C-terminal phosphorylation is critical for the expression of acute desensitization, trafficking and long-term tolerance to morphine.

    Covert shift of attention modulates the value encoding in the orbitofrontal cortex

    Yang Xie, Chechang Nie, Tianming Yang
    The orbitofrontal neurons only encode the value of one item, which may be selected by covert attention combining factors of value and visual salience, suggesting a sequential processing mechanism of value information in the brain.

    Efficient and accurate extraction of in vivo calcium signals from microendoscopic video data

    Pengcheng Zhou, Shanna L Resendez ... Liam Paninski
    A new open-source computational toolbox for processing in vivo microendoscopic calcium imaging data performs signal demixing and denoising much more accurately than previously available methods, significantly improving the utility of this imaging modality.
