LUZP1 Regulates Dendritic Spine Maturation and Synaptic Plasticity in the Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus of Mice
Leucine zipper protein 1 (LUZP1) functions in the maintenance and dynamics of the cytoskeleton by interacting with actin and microtubules. Deficiency or mutation of LUZP1 is associated with brain developmental disorders; however, its precise role ...

Dissociable Causal Roles of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex and Primary Motor Cortex over the Course of Motor Skill Development
Established models of motor skill learning posit that early stages of learning are dominated by an attentionally demanding, effortful mode of control supported by associative corticostriatal circuits involving the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (D...

The Administration of Ketamine Is Associated with Dose-Dependent Stabilization of Cortical Dynamics in Humans
During wakefulness, external stimuli elicit conscious experiences. In contrast, dreams and drug-induced dissociated states are characterized by vivid internally generated conscious experiences and reduced ability to perceive external stimuli. Unde...

Neural Dynamics in Extrastriate Cortex Underlying False Alarms
The unfolding of neural population activity can be described as a dynamical system. Stability in the latent dynamics that characterize neural population activity has been linked with consistency in animal behavior, such as motor control or value-b...

Repeated tDCS at Clinically Relevant Field Intensity Can Boost Concurrent Motor Learning in Rats
Clinical trials with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) use weak electric fields that have yet to demonstrate measurable behavioral effects in animal models. We hypothesized that weak stimulation will produce sizable effects, provided ...

The Inattentional Rhythm in Audition
The detection of temporally unpredictable visual targets depends on the preceding phase of alpha oscillations (~7–12 Hz). In audition, however, such an effect seemed to be absent. Due to the transient nature of its input, the auditory system might...

Similar Computational Hierarchies for Reading and Speech in the Occipital Cortex of Sighed and Blind: Converging Evidence from fMRI and Chronometric TMS
High-level perception results from interactions between hierarchical brain systems responsive to gradually increasing feature complexities. During reading, the initial evaluation of simple visual features in the early visual cortex (EVC) is follow...

Neuronal Synchronization and Bidirectional Activity Spread Explain Efficient Swimming in a Whole-Body Model of Hydrozoan Jellyfish
Aquatic animals need tightly choreographed movements to efficiently navigate through open waters. Radially symmetric animals, like jellyfish, face the additional challenge of having to respond to regionalized sensory stimuli at the margin of their...
