This study shows that repeated at-home EEG recordings using a consumer device can reliably measure brain activity, with improved stability when aggregating multiple sessions.

The paper introduces a probabilistic tractography method that avoids random sampling by modeling as an absorbing Markov chain, showing improved reliability and applicability to clinical and neonatal data.

This paper establishes new disease models for SynGAP1-related disorder using patient-derived hiPSCs and humanized knock-in mice to study the effects of a SYNGAP1 nonsense mutation.

The paper examines oscillatory network directionality in the human medial temporal lobe during verbal working memory tasks, finding reversed directional patterns across encoding and retrieval phases.

This study identifies a neural circuit in Drosophila that enables stereopsis by showing how LC14 neurons form a recurrent network critical for depth estimation and social behavior.

This study shows that aging reduces the ability to decrease reactive muscle responses during practice but maintains the ability to retrieve context-specific muscle patterns.

This study shows that amyloidosis and tauopathy disrupt near-critical dynamics in selectively vulnerable brain circuits, with age-dependent changes observed only in these circuits.

This study uses EEG to track neural dynamics during physical exhaustion, finding that neural activity becomes more regular and predictable as exhaustion approaches, with participant-specific models accurately tracking proximity to exhaustion.

This study shows that dopamine neurons in monkeys encode effort cost as negative reward value, contrasting with the positive reward prediction error signal.

This study shows that HRV biofeedback changes neural activity but not subjective anxiety during a brief breathing exercise.

This paper develops a reinforcement learning framework to determine optimal stimulation timing for seizure termination in a Morris-Lecar network, showing learned policies reduce seizure duration compared to controls.

The paper identifies RE ripples that synchronize hippocampal and prefrontal activity during NREM sleep, suggesting a role in memory consolidation.

The paper shows that mice learn to approach trimethylamine (TMA) through developmental exposure, contrasting with the innate aversion seen in related species.

This study shows that oligodendroglial dysfunction in an ASD model leads to hypomyelination, circuit dysfunction, and social deficits, with early treatment restoring these features.

This study examines neural and experiential dynamics during high-ventilation breathwork, finding neural patterns similar to psychedelic states and correlating them with subjective experience depth.

This study examines how multisite electrical stimulation affects brain networks in humans, finding both linear and nonlinear responses depending on stimulation location and intensity.

This study profiles mRNA and protein changes in excitatory and inhibitory synapses of Fmr1-deficient mice, revealing cell type-specific molecular alterations and opposing protein changes due to FMRP loss.

This study shows that TSHZ3 deletion in cholinergic neurons impairs striatal cholinergic modulation, leading to repetitive behaviors in ASD, and that donepezil treatment reduces these behaviors.

This study uses temporal interference stimulation to target the hippocampus during rest periods, showing it enhances micro-offline motor memory consolidation but not macro-offline retention.

This study shows that TNAP inactivation in mice reduces brain phosphatidylcholine levels, suggesting potential impacts on membrane structure and neurodevelopmental disorders.
