    A Kv2 inhibitor combination reveals native neuronal conductances consistent with Kv2/KvS heteromers

    Robert G Stewart, Matthew James Marquis ... Jon T Sack
    Drugs are identified that unmask molecular origins of certain neuronal potassium currents, enabling functional analysis of previously indistinguishable potassium channel subtypes.

    Commissureless acts as a substrate adapter in a conserved Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase pathway to promote axon growth across the midline

    Kelly G Sullivan, Greg J Bashaw
    Commissureless works with the Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase to transiently degrade the Robo1 receptor to allow commissural axons to cross the midline.

    Network segregation is associated with processing speed in the cognitively healthy oldest-old

    Sara A Nolin, Mary E Faulkner ... Kristina M Visscher
    Greater differentiation of brain networks is a hallmark of good cognitive functioning among individuals who have avoided neurodegenerative disease and live longer than a typical human lifespan.

    Subcortical correlates of consciousness with human single neuron recordings

    Michael Pereira, Nathan Faivre ... Olaf Blanke
    Subcortical brain structures contain neurons encoding subjective reports of stimulus detection in human participants, suggesting a role for conscious perception.

    Spatial periodicity in grid cell firing is explained by a neural sequence code of 2-D trajectories

    Rebecca RG, Giorgio A Ascoli ... Holger Dannenberg
    The characteristic hexagonal firing pattern of grid cells emerges as the most parsimonious solution to a trajectory code by cell sequences.

    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.

    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.
