Age-Related Positivity Bias in Emotion Recognition: Marker of Neurodegeneration or Shift in Decision Criterion?
Magnetogenetics: Tools for Noninvasive Neuromodulation with Cellular Resolution
Magnetogenetics is emerging as a promising tool to control neuronal activity and overcome the limitations of chemogenetics and optogenetics. While chemogenetics is restricted in temporal resolution, o...
Protocadherin 9 Promotes Cell Survival of Different Bipolar Cell Types in the Developing Mouse Retina
Neural circuit assembly relies on different neuronal types coming together to form a functional circuit. The question of how the appropriate number of each type is integrated into an emerging circuit...
Enhanced K <sup>+</sup> Currents Contribute to Saltatory Conduction Impairment in Mechanically Demyelinated Aα-Fibers of Rats
Saltatory conduction of action potentials (APs) through nodes of Ranvier (NRs) is essential for the rapid and precise conduction of neuronal signals along heavily myelinated axons. However, in demyeli...
Different Learning Stabilization Processes between Wakefulness and Sleep
Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is initially fragile and must be stabilized after training to enable long-term retention. While sleep-dependent stabilization has been linked to changes in excitation/...
Astrocyte TrkB.T1 Deficiency Disrupts Glutamatergic Synaptogenesis and Astrocyte–Synapse Interactions
Perisynaptic astrocyte processes (PAPs) contact pre- and postsynaptic elements to provide structural and functional support to synapses. Accumulating research demonstrates that the contact of synapses...
Selective Neural Responses to Conspecific Vocalizations in Marmoset Area 32
Understanding how primate frontal circuits encode socially informative vocalizations is central to elucidating the neural basis of communication. In common marmosets, functional MRI has identified rob...
Does Stimulus-Preceding Negativity Reflect Predictions in a Somatosensory Roving Paradigm?
The mismatch negativity (MMN) has since decades become one of the most prominent phenomena in cognitive neuroscience, recognized as a brain response indexing automatic change detection. While substant...
Emergence of Behavioral Tinnitus in Gerbils Is Associated with Reduced Spontaneous Rates in Single Auditory Nerve Fibers
Tinnitus is often initiated by damage to the peripheral auditory system, for example, by acoustic overexposure. Animal studies have shown that such noise-induced tinnitus is related to increased spont...
Region- and Layer-Specific Glutamatergic Synapse Development in the Nascent Cortical Hierarchy
Neocortical synapses are highly dynamic during brain development, undergoing formation, elimination, and maturation before acquiring properties that support adult cognition. Individual neocortical reg...
Endogenous Peptide Derived from c-Cbl-Associated Protein Counteracts Its Inhibitory Effect on Enteric Neural Crest Cell Colonization in Hirschsprung Disease
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital malformation characterized by the absence of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in the distal colon, resulting from defective colonization of enteric neural c...
Multidimensional Feature Tuning in Category Selective Areas of Human Visual Cortex
Two prominent accounts describe the functional organization of human high-level visual cortex. A categorical view emphasizes category-selective areas, while a dimensional view highlights continuous fe...
