Expectation optimizes perception through center-surround inhibition, enhancing expected representations while suppressing similar, irrelevant ones.

The performance of skilled behaviors requires a balance between consistency and adaptability. Although the neural mechanisms that regulate this balance have been extensively studied at systems and ...

This valuable study investigates how perceptual and semantic features of maternal behavior adapt to infants' attention during naturalistic play, providing new insights into the bidirectional and ...

Multi-omics analyses reveal redundant functions of yeast mRNA decapping activators Scd6 and Edc3 in facilitating recruitment of helicase Dhh1 and accelerating degradation of transcripts required for ...

Mating in insects commonly induces an alteration in behavior and physiology in the female that ensures optimal offspring. This is referred to as a post-mating response (PMR). The induction of a PMR ...

This valuable study addresses a critical and timely question regarding the role of a subpopulation of cortical interneurons (Chrna2-expressing Martinotti cells) in motor learning and cortical dynamics ...

This study presents a valuable tool named TSvelo, a computational framework for RNA velocity inference that models transcriptional regulation and gene-specific splicing. The evidence supporting the ...

This fundamental study presents experimental evidence on how geomagnetic and visual cues are integrated in a nocturnally migrating insect. The evidence supporting the conclusions is compelling. The ...

The authors analyzed spectral properties of neural activity recorded using laminar probes while mice engaged in a global/local visual oddball paradigm. They found solid evidence for an increase in ...

This valuable study shows that regions of the human auditory cortex that respond strongly to voices are also sensitive to vocalizations from closely related primate species. The study is ...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive technique to modulate brain activity, often used in treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) by targeting fronto-limbic circuitry.
