The paper identifies a conserved metabolic and genetic architecture linked to cognitive plasticity and psychiatric conditions, showing that extreme cognitive abilities and schizophrenia share a common genomic basis governed by metabolic constraints.

The paper compares the esophageal connectomes of parasitic and free-living nematodes to show how parasitism simplifies neural circuits and identifies potential targets for parasite control.

The paper shows that song familiarity involves evidence accumulation, with neural responses increasing before a familiarity decision is made.

This study compares neural synchronization during finger tapping and walking to auditory rhythms, finding that both enhance synchronization but tapping is uniquely influenced by task instructions.

This study investigates the effects of the SCN2A-L1342P mutation in human cortical organoids, finding increased neuronal excitability, enhanced synaptic transmission, and transcriptomic changes related to synaptic and developmental pathways.

This study shows AgRP neuron activity in mice tracks spatial proximity to food during foraging and recalls food locations after removal.

The paper identifies Gi/o-coupled GPCRs in nociceptors and shows that Htr1b agonists like triptans reduce neuronal excitability and pain in models, suggesting new analgesic targets.

This study identifies miR-23b as a negative regulator of BBB integrity and shows that anti-miR-23b enhances barrier function through multiple signaling pathways and improves outcomes in a stroke model.

This study applies the FREQ-NESS pipeline to MEG data to analyze age-related differences in frequency-specific brain networks during auditory tasks and rest.

This paper introduces a photogrammetry-based platform for automated small animal stereotaxic surgery, improving targeting accuracy and surgical speed through high-resolution 3D skull reconstructions.

The paper shows that cortical resting-state fMRI dynamics are organized along a gradient of distance to criticality, with consistent patterns across subjects.

This study shows lesion network maps still recover ground-truth networks despite low-dimensional bias and proposes a modification to reduce this bias.

WillCO2st provides a free tool for fast, publication-ready carbon emissions reporting using real-time energy-to-emissions data and integrates with Python scripts for sustainability audits.

The paper investigates how s-LNv clock neurons regulate sleep through neuropeptide release and cytoneme-mediated communication with l-LNv neurons.

This paper shows that macroscopic and radiological perfusion metrics do not reliably predict ultrastructural preservation in brain tissue after hyperosmotic perfusion.

This study identifies monoamine-targeting compounds that rescue neurexin-related behavioral phenotypes in C. elegans and Drosophila, with olanzapine showing broad efficacy across genetic backgrounds.

This study shows that CaMKII T286 autophosphorylation does not propagate at basal Ca2+ levels and is only required during the early phase of LTP induction.

The paper investigates auditory habituation differences in zebrafish autism models, finding unique and shared brain-wide circuit changes across genetic lines.

This study identifies age- and dopamine-dependent synaptic and cellular changes in M1 neurons during progressive parkinsonism and shows that L-DOPA can prevent or rescue these adaptations.
