    Microglia are required for developmental specification of AgRP innervation in the hypothalamus of offspring exposed to maternal high-fat diet during lactation

    Haley N Mendoza-Romero, Jessica E Biddinger ... Richard Simerly
    Hypothalamic microglia play an essential role in mediating changes to feeding circuitry caused by exposure to maternal HFD that may contribute to developmental programming of metabolic phenotype.

    A multiplex of connectome trajectories enables several connectivity patterns in parallel

    Parham Mostame, Jonathan Wirsich ... Sepideh Sadaghiani
    Parallel connectome trajectories unfold asynchronously across timescales, sustaining a multiplex of functionally distinct brain networks operating at different speeds.

    Neural substrates of cold nociception in Drosophila larva

    Atit A Patel, Albert Cardona, Daniel N Cox
    Functional neural circuit dissection identifies sensorimotor responses to noxious cold in Drosophila larvae revealing complex mechanisms by which nervous systems sense and respond to cold.

    Precise spatial tuning of visually driven alpha oscillations in human visual cortex

    Kenichi Yuasa, Iris IA Groen ... Jonathan Winawer
    Separating alpha oscillations from broadband activity reveals that alpha suppression in the human visual cortex is highly localized, and modulates cortical state in a manner consistent with exogenous spatial attention.

    Fingertip viscoelasticity enables human tactile neurons to encode loading history alongside current force

    Hannes P Saal, Ingvars Birznieks, Roland S Johansson
    Fingertip tactile neurons collectively encode the skin's viscoelastic state alongside current touch, potentially enabling the brain to better interpret forces during manipulation.

    Touch: A lasting impression

    Rochelle Ackerley, Roger H Watkins
    Touch-sensitive neurons in the fingertips take previous physical contacts into account when relaying tactile information to the brain.
