This study shows that activating neurotensin receptor 1 in the entorhinal cortex rescues olfactory generalization deficits in two ASD mouse models.

This study investigates the effects of transcranial focused ultrasound on visual perception and SSVEP in humans but finds no significant impact despite accurate targeting.

The paper compares emotion recognition across human faces, emoji faces, and stick figures using behavioral and EEG measures, finding emoji faces are most accurate and fastest, while stick figures show stronger early emotional processing.

This study examines how consumer disagreement and agreement with brand activism messages affect eye movement, brand attitude, and memory recognition through experimental tasks.

The paper evaluates video LLMs for automated behavioral segmentation and scoring in mice performing a water-reaching task, finding that Gemini 2.5 Pro achieves high accuracy with specific resolution and visibility requirements.

The paper identifies dendrite-specific synaptic inputs onto dopaminergic SNc neurons from STN, PPN, and SNr, revealing distinct functional roles of these inputs.

This study shows that deleting neuroligins from astrocytes does not affect synapse numbers or astrocyte structure in mice or human neuron co-cultures.

This study benchmarks deep learning models for white matter tract segmentation across diverse datasets, finding that CNN-based models perform best within their training domain but degrade under domain shifts, and introduces an ensemble method to mitigate this issue.

This study shows that musical training leads to behavioral generalization but neural plasticity is specific to the learned melody, not the instrument.

This study uses in-situ glial cell-surface proteomics in Drosophila to identify DIP-β as a pro-longevity factor regulated by glial cells.

The paper describes the iterative creation of harmonized ontologies and 3D frameworks for the basal ganglia across human and non-human primates to enable cross-species comparisons of cellular and molecular data.

The paper introduces BRIAN, a diffusion-informed simulator for glioblastoma spread modeling, showing directional tracking improves agreement with MRI-visible tumours but not necessarily with richer angular reconstructions.

The paper shows that operant reward-learning increases the cycle frequency of calcium oscillations in Aplysia neurons, forming a memory trace for learned motor behavior.

The paper presents an ensemble model that improves predictions of perceptual similarity between odor mixtures using a curated dataset and collaborative challenge results.

The paper examines how prestimulus pupil size relates to detection performance in visual and auditory tasks, finding it improves visual detection but not auditory detection, suggesting different mechanisms in each domain.

This study identifies two distinct subgroups of 16p11.2 deletion mice with different seizure susceptibility, circuit activity, brain structure, and gene expression profiles.

This paper develops an oral fentanyl self-administration model in mice to study escalation and relapse phenotypes, finding genetic background influences on these behaviors.

This study identifies hyper-hierarchical brain states in disorders of consciousness and links them to reduced behavioral responsiveness and altered network dynamics.

This study uses TMS to show that superior occipital TMS impairs both egocentric and allocentric reaches, while inferior occipital TMS only affects allocentric performance, supporting a dorsal-ventral stream dissociation in memory-guided reaching.

This study identifies distinct cerebellar regions associated with explicit ToM and nonverbal action prediction in young children.
