Concurrent anodal tDCS enhances motor learning and increases cortical TrkB phosphorylation

This study shows that concurrent anodal tDCS with motor training improves rotarod performance and increases cortical TrkB phosphorylation in mice.

Quantal PCR: A Calibrator-Free Method for Determining the Unit for Nucleic Acid Quantification

This paper introduces quPCR, a calibrator-free method for absolute nucleic acid quantification by defining an intrinsic quantal unit based on replication system properties.

Neural mechanism underlying task-specific enhancement of motor learning by concurrent transcranial direct current stimulation

This study shows that anodal tDCS during motor task performance enhances learning specifically for that task in mice, with effects dependent on task-related neuronal activity in the primary motor cortex.

Distinct natural syllable-selective neuronal ensembles in the primary auditory cortex of awake marmosets

The paper identifies syllable-selective neuronal ensembles in marmoset primary auditory cortex that respond to specific vocalizations, showing sensitivity to global sound properties and sequence structure.

Local Homogeneity of Tonotopic Organization in the Primary Auditory Cortex of Marmosets

The paper shows that marmoset primary auditory cortex neurons have uniform frequency tuning within local regions, indicating a tonotopic organization at both macro and microscopic levels.
