    Excitatory transmission onto AgRP neurons is regulated by cJun NH2-terminal kinase 3 in response to metabolic stress

    Santiago Vernia, Caroline Morel ... Roger J Davis
    Metabolic stress-induced activation of the JNK3 protein regulates excitatory transmission onto AgRP neurons to regulate food consumption.

    A stochastic neuronal model predicts random search behaviors at multiple spatial scales in C. elegans

    William M Roberts, Steven B Augustine ... Shawn R Lockery
    A stochastic model of locomotory control in C. elegans based on an extensive new set of tracking data can explain and predict effects of ablations and mutations on behavior.

    Intraneural stimulation elicits discrimination of textural features by artificial fingertip in intact and amputee humans

    Calogero Maria Oddo, Stanisa Raspopovic ... Silvestro Micera
    Delivering specific patterns of electrical activity to the median nerve of the arm triggers reliable sensations of texture, suggesting that it may ultimately be possible to restore complex tactile information to users of prosthetic limbs.

    Identification of a Munc13-sensitive step in chromaffin cell large dense-core vesicle exocytosis

    Kwun Nok M Man, Cordelia Imig ... Sonja M Wojcik
    Munc13 proteins are key determinants of large dense-core vesicle (LDCV)-dependent catecholamine release in chromaffin cells.

    A common mechanism underlies changes of mind about decisions and confidence

    Ronald van den Berg, Kavitha Anandalingam ... Daniel M Wolpert
    Initial confidence and choice in a decision, and their potential revision, arise from a common mechanism that challenges models that claim confidence and decision processes are dissociated.

    Epigenomic landscapes of retinal rods and cones

    Alisa Mo, Chongyuan Luo ... Jeremy Nathans
    Genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation and accessible chromatin shows that retinal rods and cones have distinct epigenomic features that reflect differences in their development and function.

    Multimodal sensory integration in single cerebellar granule cells in vivo

    Taro Ishikawa, Misa Shimuta, Michael Häusser
    Building on previous work (Huang et al., 2013), it is shown that single granule cells receive excitatory synaptic input driven by up to three separate sensory modalities in vivo, which demonstrate that individual neurons can contribute to multisensory integration at the input layer of the cerebellar cortex.

    The auditory representation of speech sounds in human motor cortex

    Connie Cheung, Liberty S Hamilton ... Edward F Chang
    Brain activity patterns in motor cortex differ when we listen to speech as opposed to produce it.

    Contrasting roles for parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons in two forms of adult visual cortical plasticity

    Eitan S Kaplan, Sam F Cooke ... Mark F Bear
    Parvalbumin-containing inhibitory neurons are crucial for expression of plasticity in adult visual cortex that supports visual recognition memory, but not for expression of ocular dominance plasticity that results from monocular deprivation.
