Effects of Ketamine on Frontoparietal Interactions in a Rule-Based Antisaccade Task in Macaque Monkeys
Cognitive control is engaged by working memory processes and high-demand situations like antisaccade, where one must suppress a prepotent response. While it is known to be supported by the frontoparietal control network, how intra- and interareal ...

Auditory Competition and Stimulus Selection across Spatial Locations from Midbrain to Forebrain in Barn Owls
Barn owls enable investigation of neural mechanisms underlying stimulus selection of concurrent stimuli. The audiovisual space map in the optic tectum (OT), avian homolog of the superior colliculus, encodes relative strength of concurrent auditory...

Alpha Traveling Waves during Working Memory: Disentangling Bottom-Up Gating and Top-Down Gain Control
While previous works established the inhibitory role of alpha oscillations during working memory maintenance, it remains an open question whether such an inhibitory control is a top-down process. Here, we attempted to disentangle this issue by con...

Defects in Exosome Biogenesis Are Associated with Sensorimotor Defects in Zebrafish vps4a Mutants
Mutations in human VPS4A are associated with neurodevelopmental defects, including motor delays and defective muscle tone. VPS4A encodes a AAA-ATPase required for membrane scission, but how mutations in VPS4A lead to impaired control of motor func...

Metabotropic NMDAR Signaling Contributes to Sex Differences in Synaptic Plasticity and Episodic Memory
NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-mediated calcium influx triggers the induction and initial expression of long-term potentiation (LTP). Here we report that in male rodents, ion flux-independent (metabotropic) NMDAR signaling is critical for a third step in t...

Disruption of the Autism-Associated Pcdh9 Gene Leads to Transcriptional Alterations, Synapse Overgrowth, and Defective Network Activity in the CA1
Protocadherins, a family of adhesion molecules with a crucial role in cell–cell interactions, have emerged as key players in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. In particular, growing evidence links genetic alterations in the protocadher...

Restoring Compromised Cl- in D2 Neurons of a Huntingtons Disease Mouse Model Rescues Motor Disability
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no cure, characterized by significant neurodegeneration of striatal GABAergic medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Early stages of the disease are characterized by the loss of dopa...

The Relationship between White Matter Architecture and Language Lateralization in the Healthy Brain
Interhemispheric anatomical differences have long been thought to be related to language lateralization. Previous studies have explored whether asymmetries in the diffusion characteristics of white matter language tracts are consistent with langua...
