    Glutamine catabolism supports amino acid biosynthesis and suppresses the integrated stress response to promote photoreceptor survival

    Moloy T Goswami, Eric Weh ... Thomas J Wubben
    For the first time, mouse models reveal the metabolic dependency of photoreceptors on glutamine catabolism in vivo and further demonstrate the flexibility of photoreceptors to utilize fuel sources beyond glucose.

    Flower/FLWR-1 regulates neuronal activity via the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase to promote recycling of synaptic vesicles

    Marius Seidenthal, Jasmina Redzovic ... Alexander Gottschalk
    Caenorhabditis elegans FLWR-1/Flower is required for efficient synaptic vesicle recycling and does so through a functional and possibly direct physical interaction with the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase, MCA-3.

    mTOR inhibition in Q175 Huntington’s disease model mice facilitates neuronal autophagy and mutant huntingtin clearance

    Philip Stavrides, Chris N Goulbourne ... Dun-Sheng Yang
    ALP alterations in Q175 brains are late-onset, mild, existing at the later phases of the pathway, and stimulating autophagy at early disease progression enhances mHTT clearance to ameliorate HD pathology.

    A memory model of rodent spatial navigation in which place cells are memories arranged in a grid and grid cells are non-spatial

    David E Huber
    It is proposed that place cells are arranged in a hexagonal grid for large surfaces devoid of landmarks, which produces grid cell receptive fields as an artifact of memory retrieval.

    MorphoCellSorter is an Andrews plot-based sorting approach to rank microglia according to their morphological features

    Sarah Benkeder, Son-Michel Dinh ... Jean-Christophe Comte
    MorphoCellSorter is a versatile, user-friendly tool that automates microglial morphology ranking, enabling standardized, reproducible analysis across diverse models, imaging techniques, and conditions using principal component analysis and Andrews plots.

    Sensitivity to visual features in inattentional blindness

    Makaela Nartker, Chaz Firestone ... Ian Phillips
    As a group, inattentionally blind participants can successfully report the location, color, and shape of stimuli they deny noticing, and exhibit a systematic bias to report not noticing.

    Cortical dynamics in hand/forelimb S1 and M1 evoked by brief photostimulation of the mouse’s hand

    Daniela Piña Novo, Mang Gao ... Gordon MG Shepherd
    'Phototactile' hand stimulation rapidly activates first the somatosensory then the motor cortex, broadly consistent with constraints suggested by the previously described circuit architecture of this transcortical loop.
