The paper uses energy metabolism to infer directed communication patterns in the human cortex, showing sensory systems drive higher-order networks and default mode networks act as receivers.

This paper describes a method to obtain brain tissue for omic analyses using SEEG electrodes, showing concordant transcriptomic and proteomic findings across different epileptic zones.

This study shows ApoE4 impairs astrocyte lipid droplet formation by disrupting endolysosomal function and demonstrates that PCSK9 can restore lipid droplet formation by preventing ApoE4 internalization.

The paper shows that mice, marmosets, and humans use ambiguous local motion signals from the retina to directly control eye movements without resolving the ambiguity.

This paper develops a neuro-computational approach to assess mental image qualities using EEG and AI-generated images, finding that blurred and low contrast images align better with human alpha activity.

This paper shows that excitatory-inhibitory networks with local plasticity can perform predictive inference without explicit error representations, using a BCM-like rule to maintain weights on a consistency manifold.

The paper evaluates a seven-protein plasma panel across brain proteomics cohorts to show its association with AD proteomic changes.

This study uses snATAC-seq and snRNA-seq to identify TE-derived regulatory elements involved in adult hippocampal neurogenesis in response to rhEPO stimulation.

Learning alters neural responses to ICMS, revealing differences between direct activation and network activity linked to behavior.

This study shows that early life adversity disrupts vagal circuit development in mice, with sex-specific changes in mitochondrial function and autonomic stress responses.

This study examines neural synchrony and emotional responses during music listening in individuals with varying levels of anhedonia using fMRI and continuous emotional ratings.

The paper investigates affective responses to rhythmic and harmonic complexity in Chinese and Danish listeners, finding universal patterns in rhythmic sensitivity and cultural differences in harmonic responses.

This study examines how post-mortem tissue conditions and fixation progression affect diffusion tensor imaging parameters in whole human brains, finding that mean diffusivity is a robust marker while fractional anisotropy requires microstructure-aware interpretation.

This study uses CRISPRi Perturb-seq to analyze 1,408 autism risk genes in human cortical neurons, identifying 215 genes that cause global transcriptomic dysregulation and uncovering shared transcriptional pathways.

This study shows that female sex and APOEe4 genotype differentially affect microglial transcriptomic profiles in the hippocampus and cortex of mice.

The paper constructs a single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of Alzheimer's disease and identifies cell-type-specific molecular subtypes and therapeutic targets using a new framework.

This study shows that tACS at 10 Hz in posterior regions increases alpha burst duration, but not cognitive performance or resting state cognition.

The paper shows that retrieval uncertainty in retrosplenial cortex drives rapid consolidation of confabulated memories, with implications for Alzheimer's and aging.

The paper shows that CAMSAP3 loss of function leads to microtubule acetylation dysregulation and epileptic features in zebrafish and cultured cells.
