Human medial temporal lobe neurons link future reward coding with intertemporal choice and impulsivity

This study identifies human medial temporal lobe neurons that encode future rewards and intertemporal choices, showing reduced temporal coding in impulsive individuals.

Sleep ripples drive single-neuron reactivation for human memory consolidation

This study shows that sleep ripples drive single-neuron reactivation in humans, supporting memory consolidation and highlighting sleep's role in stabilizing memories.

Targeting epilepsy with photopharmacology in human brain tissue

This study evaluates photopharmacology agents in human and mouse brain tissue to control epilepsy, finding that caged propofol suppresses epileptiform activity across species.

Sequential coupling of sleep oscillations enables concept-neuron reactivation and supports information flow across the human hippocampal-cortical circuit

The paper shows that during sleep, hippocampal sharp wave-ripples reactivate memory-related neurons and interact with cortical slow oscillations to support memory consolidation.

Semantic Tuning of Single Neurons in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe

This study investigates semantic tuning of concept cells in the human medial temporal lobe, finding graded responses and region-specific categorical profiles.

Beyond the CTCT: Remote Structural Changes After VIM-MRgFUS in Essential Tremor

This study examines structural brain changes after VIM-MRgFUS treatment for essential tremor, finding remote gray matter volume changes and associations with motor and quality of life improvements.

How coupled slow oscillations, spindles and ripples control neuronal processing and communication during human sleep

The paper shows how slow oscillations, spindles, and ripples coordinate to enhance neuronal firing rates, cross-correlations, and cross-regional interactions during human sleep.

Ste20-like kinase is critical for inhibitory synapse maintenance and its deficiency confers a developmental dendritopathy

This study identifies SLK as critical for dendritic complexity and inhibitory synapse maintenance in neurons, with implications for human cortical malformations.

Auditory beat stimulation modulates memory-related single-neuron activity in the human medial temporal lobe

The paper examines how auditory beat stimulation affects memory-related neuron activity in the human medial temporal lobe, finding negative correlations between beat stimulation and memory performance in specific brain regions.
