Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 01 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01633-3This paper shows that compulsive-like grooming in Sapap3-knockout mice can be reduced by closed-loop optogenetic stimulation of striatal interneurons based on grooming onset prediction, suggesting that adaptive stimulation may have therapeutic potential in obsessive–compulsive...

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 30 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01618-2The layout of cortical systems varies across people, which is assumed to be largely due to border shifts between nearby systems. Dworetsky et al. reveal a qualitatively different variation in systems that occurs at a distance from expected locations.

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 29 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01631-5Xiao et al. show that, in monkeys freely viewing natural images, visual neurons from V1 to the inferior temporal cortex encode feature information in the gaze-centered space with limited predictive remapping and develop a neural network model to map the receptive fields.

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 29 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01627-1Nongenetic factors contribute to the onset, progression and severity of neurodegenerative diseases. Here, the authors describe how exposomics, the systematic analysis of environmental factors, can help neuroscientists understand these diseases.

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 29 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01635-1Charlton and Goris developed a new perceptual decision-making task for macaque monkeys and found that prefrontal circuits involved in action selection are also used for the deliberation of abstract propositions divorced from a specific motor plan.
