Non-cell autonomous control of presynaptic remodeling by the hypothalamic autophagy/NPY axis

The paper investigates the role of hypothalamic NPY/AgRP neurons in regulating age-related presynaptic remodeling through autophagy and non-cell autonomous mechanisms.

Homozygosity destabilizes phenotypic robustness in clonal Drosophila mercatorum

The paper shows that homozygosity in Drosophila mercatorum reduces phenotypic robustness, leading to increased developmental instability and reduced survival under stress.

Quantitative modeling of the emergence of macroscopic grid-like representations

This study uses simulations to investigate how population-level hexadirectional modulation in fMRI data may arise from grid cell activity, testing three hypotheses about grid cell properties.

A neural code for egocentric spatial maps in the human medial temporal lobe

The paper identifies 'anchor cells' in the human medial temporal lobe that encode egocentric spatial maps during virtual navigation.

Synaptic learning rules for sequence learning

This paper investigates how phase precession and synaptic learning windows contribute to temporal-order learning through mathematical analysis and simulations.
