    Skill learning strengthens cortical representations of motor sequences

    Tobias Wiestler, Jörn Diedrichsen
    Detailed analysis of fMRI data shows that sequences of movements are associated with individual patterns of neural activity that become more distinct with training.

    A longitudinal study of Caenorhabditis elegans larvae reveals a novel locomotion switch, regulated by Gαs signaling

    Stanislav Nagy, Charles Wright ... David Biron
    C. elegans exhibits two distinct behavioural macro-states, active and quiet wakefulness, and protein kinase A regulates switching between these two states.

    Dismantling the Papez circuit for memory in rats

    Seralynne D Vann
    In contrast to current models, inputs from midbrain limbic structures, but not from the hippocampus, are necessary for mammillary body contributions to memory.

    Rigid firing sequences undermine spatial memory codes in a neurodegenerative mouse model

    Jingheng Cheng, Daoyun Ji
    In a mouse model of neurodegeneration, hippocampal firing sequences that normally encode spatial memories become disengaged from external space.

    Pharmacological brake-release of mRNA translation enhances cognitive memory

    Carmela Sidrauski, Diego Acosta-Alvear ... Peter Walter
    A compound that prevents stressors such as UV light and viral infection from downregulating protein synthesis inside cells improves memory performance in mice.

    Decoding the neural mechanisms of human tool use

    Jason P Gallivan, D Adam McLean ... Jody C Culham
    Imaging experiments reveal that some brain regions do not distinguish between actions performed using tools and those performed using the hands, while others represent these two types of action separately.
