    Ultraslow serotonin oscillations in the hippocampus delineate substates across NREM and waking

    Claire Cooper, Daniel Parthier ... Dietmar Schmitz
    The fine-tuning of mutual inhibition and disinhibition of sleep-regulating neurons and also the memory consolidation that occurs during NREM sleep are controlled by oscillations in serotonin levels.

    Acquisition of auditory discrimination mediated by different processes through two distinct circuits linked to the lateral striatum

    Susumu Setogawa, Takashi Okauchi ... Kazuto Kobayashi
    Two lateral striatal subregions integrate the acquisition of stimulus-based decision-making in spatiotemporally and functionally different manners, challenging the prior model through a dominance change from the associative to sensorimotor subregions.

    The magnitude and time course of pre-saccadic foveal prediction depend on the conspicuity of the saccade target

    Lisa M Kroell, Martin Rolfs
    Foveal sensitivity to the features of an imminent saccade target increases with the target’s conspicuity, supporting foveal prediction as a viable mechanism for maintaining visual continuity in high-contrast, naturalistic environments.
