Excitatory neurons of the anterior cingulate cortex encode chosen actions and their outcomes rather than cognitive state

This study shows that ACC neurons encode chosen actions and their outcomes rather than cognitive states like attention or impulsivity in mice performing a task.

Deep learning-based image analysis identifies a DAT-negative subpopulation of dopaminergic neurons in the lateral Substantia nigra.

The paper uses deep learning to identify a DAT-negative subpopulation of dopaminergic neurons in the lateral substantia nigra in mouse and human brain sections.

Alternative splicing of auxiliary β2-subunits stabilizes Cav2.3 Ca2+ channel activity in continuously active midbrain dopamine neurons

The paper shows that alternative splicing of β2-subunits stabilizes Cav2.3 Ca2+ channel activity in midbrain dopamine neurons, contributing to their vulnerability in Parkinson's disease.

Nucleolar stress controls mutant Huntingtin toxicity and monitors Huntington disease progression

This study shows that nucleolar stress affects mutant Huntingtin toxicity and progression in Huntington disease by altering rRNA maturation and NPM1 localization.

Highly task-specific and distributed neural connectivity in working memory revealed by single-trial decoding in mice and humans

The paper decodes working memory-related neural connectivity in mice and humans across tasks, finding task-specific and distributed patterns with high prediction accuracy.
