The Transmitter: Neuroscience News and Perspectives

In a new preprint, Patrick Q. Zhang et al. recorded monkeys’ brain activity during on a multidimensional inference task, finding that “probabilistic inference emerges from coordinated dynamics across distributed brain systems, with different regions contributing flexibly according to computational demands at different states of learning and decision-making.”

Mingxin Xu et al. profile bone-innervating dorsal root ganglia neurons and find that they perform both nociceptive and mechanoreceptive functions and are “transcriptionally responsive to bone injury in a temporal dynamic fashion.”
