    Tumors mimic the niche to inhibit neighboring stem cell differentiation

    Yang Zhang, Yuejia Wang ... Shaowei Zhao
    Drosophila female germline tumors mutant for bam or bgcn mimic the stem cell niche to inhibit the differentiation of neighboring wild-type germline stem cells.

    A meta-analysis suggests that TMS targeting the hippocampal network selectively improves episodic memory

    Elena Badillo Goicoechea, Phillip F Agres ... Joel L Voss
    Meta-analysis indicates that network-targeted non-invasive brain stimulation consistently enhances memory function supported by the hippocampal network, thus providing robust evidence that specific memory abilities rely on specific modifiable brain networks.

    Identification of the regulatory elements and protein substrates of lysine acetoacetylation

    Qianyun Fu, Terry Nguyen ... Y George Zheng
    A newly developed chemo-immunological strategy enabled detection of acetoacetate-mediated lysine acetoacetylation, identified the associated regulatory enzymes, and revealed its distinct biological functions and physiological significance.

    Subregional activity in the dentate gyrus is amplified during elevated cognitive demands

    Charlotte Castillon, Shintaro Otsuka ... Anis Contractor
    Selective engagement of suprapyramidal dentate gyrus neurons during a high-demand pattern separation task reveals blade-specific circuit engagement for enhancing mnemonic discrimination.

    Effort produces after-effects costly for others but valued for self

    Ya Zheng, Rumeng Tang
    Neural reward signals following effort are amplified for self-benefiting outcomes but attenuated for other-benefiting outcomes, contingent upon reward magnitude and individual effort sensitivity.

    Drosophila ryanodine receptor gene triggers functional and developmental muscle properties and could be used to assess the impact of human RYR1 mutations

    Monika Zmojdzian, Teresa Jagla ... Catherine Sarret
    The Drosophila ryanodine receptor plays a conserved role in setting functional and structural muscle properties, regulates embryonic muscle development and could be used to assess the impact of human RYR1 mutations.

    Dissociable neural substrates of integration and segregation in exogenous attention

    Yujie Chen, Ai-Su Li ... Yang Zhang
    Dissociable neural signatures of integration and segregation provide the first direct neuroimaging evidence for the integration-segregation theory of exogenous attention.

    Modeling flexible behavior with remapping-based hippocampal sequence learning

    Yoshiki Ito, Taro Toyoizumi
    A biologically plausible reinforcement learning model that integrates associative memory and hippocampal remapping explains context-dependent flexible behavior, neural dynamics, and psychosis-related symptoms.

    A context-free model of savings in motor learning

    Mahdiyar Shahbazi, Olivier Codol ... Paul L Gribble
    Recurrent neural network models trained on a novel motor skill exhibit a persistent shift in preparatory activity that enables faster relearning, without cognitive or contextual cues.

    Characterisation of cold-selective lamina I spinal projection neurons in the mouse

    Aimi N Razlan, Wenhui Ma ... Junichi Hachisuka
    Lamina I projection neurons that respond selectively to skin cooling receive monosynaptic input from Trpm8-expressing primary afferents and innervate brain regions involved in perception of cold and cold defence mechanisms.
