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.

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 29 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01630-6What mechanisms enable brains to maintain behaviors after neuron loss? Based on behavioral, neuronal and modeling data, Wang et al. find that unsupervised cellular and systems-level restorative mechanisms can ensure behavioral resilience.

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 26 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01646-yEffective science communication is necessary for engaging the public in scientific discourse and ensuring equitable access to knowledge. Training doctoral students in science communication will instill principles of accessibility, accountability, and adaptability in...

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 24 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01625-3Gene expression in the human cortex is shown to exhibit a generalizable three-component architecture that reflects neuronal, metabolic, and immune programmes of healthy brain development. The three components have distinct associations with autism spectrum disorder and...
