The Epigenetic Reader PHF23 Is Required for Embryonic Neurogenesis
Epigenetic mechanisms are crucial in the tightly regulated process of neurogenesis from radial glial cells (RGCs) to intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs) to neurons during embryonic brain development. Plant homeodomain (PHD) finger proteins as imp...

Phonological Representations of Auditory and Visual Speech in the Occipito-temporal Cortex and Beyond
Speech is a multisensory signal that can be extracted from the voice and the lips. Previous studies suggested that occipital and temporal regions encode both auditory and visual speech features but their location and nature remain unclear. We char...

Nonlinear Dendritic Integration Supports Up-Down States in Single Neurons
Changes in the activity profile of cortical neurons are due to effects at the scale of local and long-range networks. Accordingly, abrupt transitions in the state of cortical neurons—a phenomenon known as Up–Down states (UDS)—have been attributed ...

Abrupt and Gradual Changes in Neuronal Processing upon Falling Asleep and Awakening
The neural processes that change when falling asleep are only partially understood. At the cortical level, features of both spontaneous neural activity and sensory responses change between wakefulness and sleep. For example, in the early auditory ...

Microglia Support Both the Singular Form of LTP Expressed by the Lateral Perforant Path and Episodic Memory
We report here that microglia exert a surprisingly discrete but functionally critical influence on synaptic plasticity in the mouse hippocampus. Treatment of adult male mice with colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor antagonist PLX5622 (PLX), with ...

Sustained Hippocampal Theta Oscillations Reflect Experience-Dependent Learning in Backward Temporal Order Memory Retrieval
Navigating within our neighborhood or learning a set of concepts requires remembering the relationship between individual items that are presented sequentially. Theta activity in the mammalian hippocampus is related to the encoding and recall of r...

Anchoring Functional Connectivity to Individual Sulcal Morphology Yields Insights in a Pediatric Study of Reasoning
A salient neuroanatomical feature of the human brain is its pronounced cortical folding, and there is mounting evidence that sulcal morphology is relevant to functional brain architecture and cognition. However, the relationships between sulcal an...
