    Brain-imaging evidence for compression of binary sound sequences in human memory

    Fosca Al Roumi, Samuel Planton ... Stanislas Dehaene
    Humans memorize structured sound sequences using a language-of-thought compression algorithm.

    A class-specific effect of dysmyelination on the excitability of hippocampal interneurons

    Delphine Pinatel, Edouard Pearlstein ... Catherine Faivre-Sarrailh
    Dysmyelination of GABAergic hippocampal interneurons causes mislocalization of axonal ionic channels and disturbs their intrinsic physiological properties, suggesting that it may contribute to cognitive deficits observed in multiple sclerosis patients.

    Diversity and evolution of cerebellar folding in mammals

    Katja Heuer, Nicolas Traut ... Roberto Toro
    A computational neuroanatomy analysis of cerebellar and cerebral folding in 56 mammalian species reveals groups of highly variable 'diverse' phenotypes, and strongly conserved 'stable' phenotypes, providing new insights into the diversity, evolution, and influence of cortical folding on brain organisation.

    Molecular tuning of sea anemone stinging

    Lily S He, Yujia Qi ... Nicholas W Bellono
    Sea anemones use adapted ion channels to control stinging behavior.

    Methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone, MG-H1, increases food intake by altering tyramine signaling via the GATA transcription factor ELT-3 in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Muniesh Muthaiyan Shanmugam, Jyotiska Chaudhuri ... Pankaj Kapahi
    Advanced glycation end-products (compounds which make the food appetizing and aromatic) intricately modulate organism’s homeostatic and hedonistic signaling pathways thereby inducing preferential consumption of excess nutrients offering preliminary insights into overconsumption of modern-day processed food.

    Quantifying decision-making in dynamic, continuously evolving environments

    Maria Ruesseler, Lilian Aline Weber ... Laurence Tudor Hunt
    Human behaviour in a continuous decision making task adapts to the overall statistics of the sensory environment, and these adaptations are also reflected in changes in neural responses to incoming sensory evidence.

    Optogenetic activation of visual thalamus generates artificial visual percepts

    Jing Wang, Hamid Azimi ... Gregor Rainer
    The visual thalamus is a promising target for neural prosthetic intervention aimed at the restoration of visual function.
