The paper shows that retinal direction-selective ganglion cells encode motion direction by averaging motion vectors, which aligns with natural motion statistics.

This paper proposes a model of associative learning in cerebellar cortex ensembles using heterogeneous plasticity, showing improved pattern recognition performance with ensemble size.

The paper investigates whether neural resources for processing dynamic physical objects overlap with those for spatial working memory, finding shared engagement in frontoparietal cortex.

The paper investigates how spatial attention and pre-stimulus alpha oscillations influence iconic memory, finding that both contribute to suppression of irrelevant visual input through separate mechanisms.

The paper investigates variability in FDG-PET imaging due to scanner manufacturer, reference region, age, and sex, and generates covariate-adjusted normative data.

HippoGenes creates transcriptomic maps of the human hippocampus using spatial statistical models and the Allen Human Brain Atlas, enabling subregional gene expression analysis and disease-related molecular decoding.

The paper reports recurrent, stereotyped EEG patterns in an advanced meditator over 13 months, showing consistent neurophysiological dynamics across sessions.

This study shows that seasonal photoperiod cycling reduces inter-individual variability in mu-opioid receptor density in rats compared to constant photoperiod conditions.

This study uses PET imaging in titi monkeys to examine KOR availability and plasma OT changes during partner separation, finding reduced KOR in nucleus accumbens and sex-dependent OT responses.

This study examines how pupil dynamics reflect compensatory control after cognitive demand and their relation to motor performance.

The paper applies an existing brain-age model to longitudinal adolescent MRI data, finding moderate consistency but issues with accuracy and age-related bias.

This study investigates how denoising systemic low frequency oscillations affects dynamic signatures of central autonomic regulation and their relation to physiological states using multimodal data.

This study shows that Hv1 deficiency in mice leads to increased mortality and immune dysfunction after TBI, with significant effects on splenic antibacterial defense and immune homeostasis.

This study shows that isoflurane anesthesia and surgery worsen lipid dysregulation and neural dysfunction in APOE4 mice, leading to neurological impairments.

This paper uses computational modeling to show that sinusoidal low frequency alternating current (LFAC) stimulation of peripheral nerves produces orderly fiber recruitment based on size, unlike conventional pulse stimulation, by leveraging membrane accommodation properties.

This study identifies brain-wide activation patterns during sleep rhythms using EEG and fMRI, showing thalamus and hippocampus involvement in memory processes.

This study investigates how mice and monkeys generate stochastic choices in competitive games, finding that neural circuits decouple reward signals from future choices to achieve unpredictability.

The paper introduces a naturalistic audio stimuli database with unsupervised labeling, resulting in 10 semantic categories for diverse experimental use.

This study examines the relationship between cerebral arterial elasticity and cardiovascular health in older adults, finding that higher cardiovascular risk burden is associated with lower cerebral arterial elasticity.

The paper investigates how prior knowledge affects degraded speech perception using EEG, finding strong neural correlates of perceptual evidence accumulation influenced by prior information.
