    Statistical examination of shared loci in neuropsychiatric diseases using genome-wide association study summary statistics

    Thomas P Spargo, Lachlan Gilchrist ... Alfredo Iacoangeli
    Pleiotropic loci that play a role in multiple neuropsychiatric diseases exist, but many of them might contribute to each disease via a distinct mechanism.

    Attention modulates human visual responses to objects by tuning sharpening

    Narges Doostani, Gholam-Ali Hossein-Zadeh ... Maryam Vaziri-Pashkam
    Attentional modulation is affected by target-distractor similarity, indicating tuning sharpening as the underlying mechanism for response enhancement during object-based attention.

    Distinct release properties of glutamate/GABA co-transmission serve as a frequency-dependent filtering of supramammillary inputs

    Himawari Hirai, Kohtarou Konno ... Yuki Hashimotodani
    Co-release of the functionally opposing fast neurotransmitters, glutamate and GABA, from distinct synaptic vesicles within the same supramammillary synaptic terminal modulates dentate granule cell firing in a frequency-dependent manner.

    Homeostatic synaptic normalization optimizes learning in network models of neural population codes

    Jonathan Mayzel, Elad Schneidman
    An accurate and efficient biologically plausible statistical model of the spiking activity of neural populations shows computational benefits of homeostatic synaptic scaling in learning large neural population codes.

    Unsupervised discovery of family specific vocal usage in the Mongolian gerbil

    Ralph E Peterson, Aman Choudhri ... Dan H Sanes
    Gerbils exhibit stable, family-specific vocal dialects over weeks, suggesting vocal communication may play a key role in representing kinship in natural social groups.

    Identification of an early subset of cerebellar nuclei neurons in mice

    Maryam Rahimi-Balaei, Shayan Amiri ... Hassan Marzban
    A distinct subset of cerebellar nuclei neurons originates from a previously unrecognized germinal zone within the cerebellar primordium, independent of Atoh1 influence, highlighting new cellular origins in cerebellar development.

    Microstructural asymmetries of the planum temporale predict functional lateralization of auditory-language processing

    Peipei Qin, Qiuhui Bi ... Gaolang Gong
    The important role of structural asymmetry in the functional lateralization of the same brain area provides a crucial insight into the neurobiological fundament for human brain's functional lateralization.

    Biochemical and neurophysiological effects of deficiency of the mitochondrial import protein TIMM50

    Eyal Paz, Sahil Jain ... Abdussalam Azem
    TIM23 core deficiency specifically impacts the oxidative phosphorylation and the mitochondrial ribosome complexes and, unexpectedly, leads to reduction of plasma membrane voltage-dependent potassium channels in neurons.
