This study shows that information about the orientation of stimuli presented around the time of saccadic eye movements oscillates at alpha frequencies (9 Hz), consistent with the notion that perceptual history is preserved by oscillatory mechanisms creating a “perceptual echo”.

Virtual nature exposure reduces self-reported pain and is associated with decreased brain responses linked to somatosensory and nociceptive processing, providing new insights into the underlying mechanisms of nature-induced analgesia.

A monkey neurophysiology study combined with neural network modeling reveals hierarchical and distinct biological motion computation in visual cortical areas MT and MST, highlighting their roles in social cognition beyond conventional motion analysis.

Using a confidence-accuracy dissociation paradigm, the study finds that multisensory integration follows subjective confidence instead of objective accuracy. Further modeling suggests shared computations between confidence and multisensory integration

Neural basis of multisensory decision-making is not fully understood. Here authors show that locomotion shifts multisensory decisions in mice from auditory to visual dominance by activating the motor cortex that inhibits auditory output to the parietal cortex. This reveals how state-dependent auditory gating shapes multisensory perception.

Intracortical microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex evokes tactile sensations, but those of individual electrodes are insufficient for functional tasks. We show that stimulating multiple electrodes with somatotopically matched projected fields improves task performance with bionic hands.

Overlapping projected fields from multiple intracortical electrodes produce sensations on the hand that are more easily localizable, as shown in three participants with cervical spinal cord injury.

A population of macrophages has been found in muscle spindles that release glutamate, activate primary sensory afferents that are part of the stretch reflex, and have a role in regulating locomotion.

After injury, regeneration of retinal ganglion cells and reconnection to their original target — the suprachiasmatic nucleus —is achieved by manipulating guidance cues, leading to the formation of a functional circuit that supports functional recovery.
