Gatto et al. address the contribution different excitatory IN types make to somatosensation. Their findings reveal that specific somatosensory reflex programs are encoded by spatially restricted dorsal horn modules that comprise …
Gallero-Salas et al. measure neural population activity across the neocortex in mice performing auditory and tactile tasks with a short-term memory component. During sensory stimulation, distinct PPC subdivisions are engaged, depending …
Akam et al. investigate mouse anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in a sequential decision-making task, finding that ACC predicts future states given chosen actions and indicates when these predictions are violated. Transiently …
Top-down expectancy critically determines how fast sensory inputs are processed. Fiebelkorn & Kastner show that translating expectancy into fast stimulus processing is mediated by a subnetwork of beta-synchronized neurons across …
Sequencing the transcriptomes and epigenomes of single cells enables deep molecular characterization of brain cells with high throughput. Armand et al. review the key experimental principles and computational methods and discuss …
In this issue of Neuron, Kar and DiCarlo (2021) demonstrate that feedback from ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) to inferotemporal cortex (IT) is required for object recognition. They show that inactivating …

Alten et al present a detailed investigation of disease-causing SNAP25 mutations based on structural analysis, neurotransmitter release, and emerging circuit properties. They show that structurally clustered mutations within the SNAP25 SNARE …
In this issue of Neuron, Gatto et al. (2021) demonstrate that tactile reflexes are driven by excitatory modules defined by location, while Peirs et al. (2021) show that the circuits implicated in …
Peirs et al. identified distinct spinal cord microcircuits that underlie mechanical allodynia, depending on the injury type. The neurons engaged after neuropathic or inflammatory injuries include populations that express CCK, tVGLUT3, …
