AbstractTask functional magnetic resonance imaging research has generally shielded away from studying individuals due to the low reproducibility. Here, we propose that heterogeneous brain activations across individuals localize to a common network. To test this hypothesis, we use working memory (WM) as our example. First, we showed that discrete-brain-based reproducibility of brain activation during WM across individuals was low.

GABAergic neuronlateral geniculate nucleusretinaretinal ganglion cellsvisual thalamusSignificance StatementThis study investigates the pivotal role of RGC axons in the distribution of GABAergic cells of the mouse ventrolateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN). While the impact of retinal inputs on the classical image-forming vision pathway to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) is well-documented, the significance of such inputs in the nonimage-forming vision pathway (vLGN) remains elusive.

Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-48731-1, published online 31 May 2024The original version of this Article contained an error in Figure 2, in which the statistical analyses in the insets of panel B were incorrectly reported. Permutation tests were inadvertently reported instead of circular tests and cross-validation values.

AbstractDeep Brain Stimulation can improve tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and axial symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Potentially, improving each symptom may require stimulation of different white matter tracts. Here, we study a large cohort of patients (N = 237 from five centers) to identify tracts associated with improvements in each of the four symptom domains. Tremor improvements were associated with stimulation of tracts connected to primary motor cortex and cerebellum.

AbstractHydrogen/carbon dioxide (H2/CO2) separation for sustainable energy is in desperate need of reliable membranes at high temperatures. Molecular sieve membranes take their nanopores to differentiate sizes between H2 and CO2 but have compromised at a marked loss of selectivity at high temperatures owing to diffusion activation of CO2. We used molecule gatekeepers that were locked in the cavities of the metal-organic framework membrane to meet this challenge.
