This paper introduces SPress, a method that enables high-speed, high-contrast voltage imaging of large neuronal populations in vivo with mesoscopic resolution.

The paper measures CSF flow in the spinal canal using fMRI and finds it correlates with BOLD activity decreases and is provoked by visual oddball stimuli.

The paper examines lifespan changes in neural temporal dynamics using resting-state MEG data, finding distinct trajectories for cortical intrinsic timescales and alpha oscillations.

This study measures confidence through a decision-making task and finds it is a state influenced by environmental factors rather than a driver of behavior.

This paper introduces Braincodec, a deep encoder that improves sound transmission via cortical stimulation, achieving high-fidelity sound reconstruction and matching non-implanted mice in sound discrimination.

This study shows that increased cognitive load expands and stabilizes visual representations across the brain, enhances cross-regional coordination, and reduces neural variability.

The paper shows that a dual-band vibration burst improves anti-kindling in a spiking network model compared to single-frequency stimulation.

The paper predicts how preprocessing affects fMRI connectivity estimates using prior scans, showing personalized models outperform average predictions.

The paper examines sex differences in functional brain connectivity across youth, finding that males show greater network integration while females show greater network segregation along the sensorimotor-association axis.

This study shows that deleting tyrosine hydroxylase in Ntsr1 neurons reduces diet-induced weight gain without increasing energy expenditure or activity.

This study shows how reinforcement learning modifies specific dendritic activity through synaptic plasticity, leading to the formation of task-relevant synaptic ensembles.

This study uses sparse eGFP labeling to compare astrocyte morphology across brain regions and sexes in mice, finding sex-dependent and region-specific changes after early-life stress.

This study evaluates AAV9-mediated SLC9A6 gene replacement in shaker rats, showing early treatment preserves cerebellar structure and motor function, while later treatment has diminishing effects.

This paper introduces SLAP2, a high-speed microscope for measuring submicron synapses and dendritic voltage in behaving mice, revealing nonlinear input-output amplification in neurons.

The paper shows that mice retain spatial memory in the hippocampus after long absences, with neural patterns persisting despite changes in individual neuron activity.

This study finds that a single session of mirror visual feedback does not significantly alter subsequent motor imagery-related neural activity.

The paper uses a bio-realistic model of mouse primary visual cortex to show that cortical oscillations follow a spectrolaminar motif, with gamma in superficial layers and alpha/beta in deep layers, driven by specific cell types and synaptic properties.

The paper models cross-excitation in dorsal root ganglia to show it improves spatial localization at the cost of intensity encoding, leveraging the Weber-Fechner law.

The paper evaluates temporal complexity measures in resting-state fMRI to identify disease-related changes, finding that real data show greater outliers than randomized controls.

The paper shows curved hippocampal geometry masks theta oscillations through regional cancellation, while beta and gamma oscillations remain observable due to less coordinated generators.
