Open DOI
Specific regulation of transsynaptic nanoalignment and postsynaptic assembly by a novel NCAM family synaptic adhesion molecule
Synapse formation underlies the organization of neurons into functional circuits and requires precise alignment and coordinated maturation of pre- and postsynaptic compartments. Many synaptogenic adhesion molecules have been identified t...

Late Integration of Prior Expectations During Precision-Weighted Perceptual Decisions
Adaptive perceptual decision-making relies on the ability to combine sensory evidence with prior expectations in a precision-weighted manner. Although Bayesian inference provides a clear normative account of how such integration should o...

Representation of emotional expressions across the face and voice brain networks
Recognizing emotions from faces and voices is fundamental to successful social interaction, yet how the brain represents emotional information across sensory systems remains unclear. Here, we systematically mapped the contribution of ind...

A pathogenic AMPAR mutation disrupts hippocampal synapse maturation and homeostasis
AMPA receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission and are critical for activity-dependent synapse maturation and circuit development. De novo missense mutations in AMPAR subunits are linked to neurodevelopmental disor...

Wide dynamic range of contrast-encoding in neural responses in macaque V1
The dynamic range of contrast-encoding in the early visual system has been investigated at both single-neuron and population levels in animals using oriented stimuli such as gratings and Gabor patches. However, contrast-encoding of unori...

Insulin regulates activity-dependent mitochondrial depolarization and calcium dynamics in dentate granule cells
Systemic insulin resistance is associated with reduced hippocampal energy metabolism and cognitive impairment both in humans and animal models. However, whether insulin rapidly regulates neuronal metabolic stability during activity remai...

Prefrontal ensembles represent freezing of conspecifics
Social buffering is a process in which the presence of other members of the same species (conspecifics) decreases stress reactions during threat exposure. In parallel, prior reports showed that groups of individuals display synchronous a...

Fast corrective responses in redundant motor control are shaped by intrinsic constraints of movement patterns
In real-world motor tasks, body movements unfold in a high-dimensional space, whereas task errors are defined in a lower-dimensional space. How such low-dimensional errors propagate across redundant motor degrees of freedom to generate r...

The hypothalamic orexin–medial prefrontal cortex pathway modulates susceptibility to depression in the learned helplessness paradigm in male mice
Depression is a prevalent psychiatric disorder primarily characterized by behavioral despair and helplessness. The orexinergic system plays a crucial role in stress-induced depression; however, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. The ...

A novel nitric oxide (NO)-dependent ‘molecular switch’ mediates LTP in the Octopus vulgaris brain through persistent activation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS)
Cephalopod mollusks provide a striking example of the independent evolution of advanced cognitive abilities in invertebrates. In octopuses, learning and memory are mediated by the vertical lobe (VL), whose visual input synapses undergo r...
