    PTEN negatively regulates the cell lineage progression from NG2+ glial progenitor to oligodendrocyte via mTOR-independent signaling

    Estibaliz González-Fernández, Hey-Kyeong Jeong ... Shin H Kang
    OPC-specific genetic inhibition of Akt upstream and downstream molecules in the mouse, and simultaneous OPC fate analysis reveal that PTEN-AKT-GSK3b forms a persistent negative signaling pathway for OL development, in parallel with the AKT-mTORC1 pathway.

    Pupillometry reveals perceptual differences that are tightly linked to autistic traits in typical adults

    Marco Turi, David Charles Burr, Paola Binda
    Pupil difference during bistable perception of bright and dark elements predicts autistic traits.

    Preserving neuromuscular synapses in ALS by stimulating MuSK with a therapeutic agonist antibody

    Sarah Cantor, Wei Zhang ... Steven J Burden
    An agonist antibody to MuSK, delivered after disease onset, decreases the loss of neuromuscular synapses, improves motor function and extends the lifespan of ALS mice.

    A sleep state in Drosophila larvae required for neural stem cell proliferation

    Milan Szuperak, Matthew A Churgin ... Matthew S Kayser
    A role for sleep in developmental neurogenesis is revealed using a new system for studying sleep during nascent periods.

    A spatial memory signal shows that the parietal cortex has access to a craniotopic representation of space

    Mulugeta Semework, Sara C Steenrod, Michael E Goldberg
    Neural recordings and analyses illustrate a unique lateral intraparietal area (LIP) response that may contribute to how primates can establish a memory of the environment in a useful coordinate frame, and maintain this representation of the environment over time.

    Stochastic resonance mediates the state-dependent effect of periodic stimulation on cortical alpha oscillations

    Jérémie Lefebvre, Axel Hutt, Flavio Frohlich
    Stochastic resonance, triggered by fluctuations in brain state, is found to determine the outcomes of periodic stimulation and how it interacts with brain oscillations.

    Simultaneous two-photon imaging and two-photon optogenetics of cortical circuits in three dimensions

    Weijian Yang, Luis Carrillo-Reid ... Rafael Yuste
    An all-optical 3D two-photon imaging and photostimulation platform was demonstrated, with the capability to precisely stimulate a large group of cells in mice cortex in vivo with low laser power.

    Integrative and distinctive coding of visual and conceptual object features in the ventral visual stream

    Chris B Martin, Danielle Douglas ... Morgan D Barense
    Perirhinal cortex, a brain structure located in the medial temporal lobe, uniquely supports the integration of visual and conceptual object information.

    Visual Cognition: In sight, in mind

    Mariam Aly
    A region of the brain called the perirhinal cortex represents both what things look like and what they mean.
