    Opposing chemosensory functions of closely related gustatory receptors

    Ji-Eun Ahn, Hubert Amrein
    Live imaging and taste behavior analyses show that related members of the Gr28 gene subfamily are expressed in largely non-overlapping sets of neurons and mediate opposing taste behaviors.

    Postsynaptic mitochondria are positioned to support functional diversity of dendritic spines

    Connon I Thomas, Melissa A Ryan ... Benjamin Scholl
    Correlated light and electron microscopy of cortical neurons reveals a local organization of mitochondria near dendritic spines with diverse functional properties.

    Dynamic landscape of the intracellular termini of acid-sensing ion channel 1a

    Megan M Cullinan, Robert C Klipp ... John R Bankston
    A novel FRET approach suggests that the intracellular termini of acid-sensing ion channel 1a do not form a complex at rest requiring a new hypothesis for ASIC1a involvement in stroke.

    Adaptive biasing of action-selective cortical build-up activity by stimulus history

    Anke Braun, Tobias H Donner
    Prior expectations about the state of the sensory environment are dynamically updated in a context-dependent manner and selectively bias the build-up of human motor cortical activity during subsequent decisions.

    Associative memory neurons of encoding multi-modal signals are recruited by neuroligin-3-mediated new synapse formation

    Yang Xu, Tian-liang Cui ... Jin-Hui Wang
    The coactivity of cortical neurons in associative learning recruits them as associative memory cells based on their synapse interconnections by neuroligin-3-mediated synapse formation, which endorses the first order and the second order of associative memory.

    Zona incerta distributes a broad movement signal that modulates behavior

    Sebastian Hormigo, Ji Zhou ... Manuel Castro-Alamancos
    The zona incerta distributes a broad corollary signal of movement occurrence to its projection sites, which regulates but does not drive behavior.

    Network-level changes in the brain underlie fear memory strength

    Josue Haubrich, Karim Nader
    Fear memory intensity modulates brain connectivity patterns, with stronger memories causing a pronounced reduction in interregional coordinated activity and isolation of the amygdala from other key regions.

    Avoiding false discoveries in single-cell RNA-seq by revisiting the first Alzheimer’s disease dataset

    Alan E Murphy, Nurun Fancy, Nathan Skene
    Reanalysis reveals the impact of quality control and differential analysis methods on the discovery of disease-associated genes on the first Alzheimer's disease single-nucleus RNA-seq dataset.

    Catecholaminergic neuromodulation and selective attention jointly shape perceptual decision-making

    Stijn A Nuiten, Jan Willem de Gee ... Simon van Gaal
    Pharmacologically elevated catecholamine levels and spatial attention jointly shape perceptual decision-making, revealed by unique, similar, and interactive effects on behavior, drift diffusion modeling parameters, and electrophysiology.

    Event-related modulation of alpha rhythm explains the auditory P300-evoked response in EEG

    Alina Studenova, Carina Forster ... Vadim Nikulin
    The decrease in alpha rhythm amplitude in the parietal regions after the presentation of a deviant auditory stimulus gives rise to a part of the P300-evoked response.
