    A generative model of electrophysiological brain responses to stimulation

    Diego Vidaurre
    Genephys is a generative model for dissecting the different aspects that compound our neural responses to perceptual stimulation, identifying which aspects remain stable and which ones vary across experimental repetitions.

    Serial attentional resource allocation during parallel feature value tracking

    Christian Merkel, Luise Burgmann ... Jens-Max Hopf
    The strong limitation of human subjects in tracking two color streams simultaneously as they independently traverse color space can be attributed to attention alternating slowly and sequentially between streams.

    Neuroimaging and behavioral evidence that violent video games exert no negative effect on human empathy for pain and emotional reactivity to violence

    Lukas Leopold Lengersdorff, Isabella C Wagner ... Claus Lamm
    After playing violent video games for 7 hr over the course of 2 weeks, human male participants show neither signs of decreased empathy for the pain of another person nor of decreased responsivity to violent images.

    Interaction of human keratinocytes and nerve fiber terminals at the neuro-cutaneous unit

    Christoph Erbacher, Sebastian Britz ... Nurcan Üçeyler
    Sensory nerve fiber ending ensheathment and connexin 43 contacts by keratinocytes at the neuro-cutaneous unit can be visualized and quantified at super-resolution in human skin.

    Empathy: Exploring the impact of violence in video games

    Nicolas Roy, Michel-Pierre Coll
    Playing a violent game for a few weeks did not alter neural and behavioral responses to the pain of others in inexperienced male gamers.

    EphrinB2 knockdown in cervical spinal cord preserves diaphragm innervation in a mutant SOD1 mouse model of ALS

    Mark W Urban, Brittany A Charsar ... Angelo C Lepore
    In the SOD1G93A mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), expression of transmembrane signaling molecule ephrinB2 in spinal cord astrocytes contributes to motor neuron damage and loss of diaphragm function.

    Resource-rational account of sequential effects in human prediction

    Arthur Prat-Carrabin, Florent Meyniel, Rava Azeredo da Silveira
    A proposed model of optimal inference under cognitive costs accounts for human sequential effects, including subtle patterns of attractive and repulsive influence of past observations, in a binary prediction task across a wide range of stimulus conditions.

    Resting-state alterations in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia are related to the distribution of monoamine and GABA neurotransmitter systems

    Lisa Hahn, Simon B Eickhoff ... Matthias L Schroeter
    Local brain functional activity reductions in bvFTD follow the distribution of serotonergic, GABAergic, and norepinephrinergic neurotransmitter systems, indicating a selective vulnerability and providing novel insights into the underlying disease mechanisms.

    Toolkits for detailed and high-throughput interrogation of synapses in C. elegans

    Maryam Majeed, Haejun Han ... Hang Lu
    An imaging pipeline together with a collection of transgenic nematode strains provide a strategy to visualize and properly quantify synaptic connectivity in the C. elegans brain.
