The paper identifies potential diagnostic biomarkers for frontotemporal lobar degeneration subtypes using cerebrospinal fluid proteomics.

The paper identifies the CSF YWHAG:NPTX2 ratio as a biomarker for predicting clinical severity and phenoconversion in FTLD, showing strong correlation with disease progression and improved trial design potential.

The paper shows that deep neural networks trained on speech audio can predict spiking activity in auditory cortex neurons at fine time scales better than traditional models and untrained networks.

The paper uses microendoscopic calcium imaging to study activity patterns of projection neurons in SMA and M1 of rhesus macaques during rest and arm movement.

The paper investigates how attention affects auditory cortex neurons and finds that while single neurons show mixed selectivity, population-level analysis reveals enhanced encoding of attended sound features through emergent population codes.

The paper investigates how selective attention affects neural encoding and choice-related activity in auditory cortex during a feature-based attention task in rhesus macaques.
