    GABAergic inhibition in human hMT+ predicts visuo-spatial intelligence mediated through the frontal cortex

    Yuan Gao, Yong-Chun Cai ... Xue Mei Song
    Information exchange between the sensory cortex (hMT+) and cognition core (BA46), coupled with hMT+ GABA levels, predicts performance in 3D visuo-spatial ability.

    Neuroscience: Unveiling hidden sources of noise

    Morgan Fitzgerald, Eena Kosik, Bradley Voytek
    Changes in neural activity thought to reflect brain aging may be partly influenced by age-dependent signals ‘leaking’ from the heart.

    Neuro-evolutionary evidence for a universal fractal primate brain shape

    Yujiang Wang, Karoline Leiberg ... Bruno Mota
    Cortices from 11 primate species share the same archetypal fractal shape, indicating a universal mechanism for primate and mammalian cortical folding, and suggesting novel shape biomarkers for brains.

    Lost in translation: Inconvenient truths on the utility of mouse models in Alzheimer’s disease research

    Alberto Granzotto, Bryce Vissel, Stefano L Sensi
    A critical review of the limitations posed by current preclinical animal models of Alzheimer's disease and of the oversimplistic assumptions proposed by the amyloid cascade hypothesis (ACH).

    High-frequency terahertz stimulation alleviates neuropathic pain by inhibiting the pyramidal neuron activity in the anterior cingulate cortex of mice

    Wenyu Peng, Pan Wang ... Tao Chen
    For the first time, high-frequency terahertz stimulation is shown to effectively alleviate chronic pain symptoms in mice by regulating neuronal activity in the cortex.

    Task-dependent coarticulation of movement sequences

    Hari Teja Kalidindi, Frederic Crevecoeur
    Long-latency reflexes flexibly encode future goals during sequential reaching movements, reflecting the parallel and task-dependent processing of a sequence of goals in circuits that mediate fast feedback control.

    Reproducible, data-driven characterization of sleep based on brain dynamics and transitions from whole-night fMRI

    Fan Nils Yang, Dante Picchioni ... Jeff H Duyn
    Whole-night fMRI-based sleep classification uncovers distinct substates within N2 and REM sleep stages, along with a transition structure between them.
