  Hypothalamic CRH neurons represent physiological memory of positive and negative experience

  How physiological memories are encoded is not fully understood. Here the authors show how physiological memories of aversive and appetitive experience are represented by corticotropin-releasing hormone synthesizing neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and demonstrate that behavioral readouts may not accurately reflect physiological changes invoked by the memory of salient experiences.

  Pinging the brain to reveal the hidden attentional priority map using encephalography

  Past experience with environmental regularities can influence attentional priority. Here the authors show that when observers have learned to expect information in certain locations during a visual search task, such otherwise hidden attentional biases can be visualized through neural responses evoked by the presentation of sudden task-irrelevant visual input (‘pings’).

  Single-neuron mechanisms of neural adaptation in the human temporal lobe

  Behavioural adaptation from semantic priming is accompanied by reduced neural activity in bulk-tissue measurements, but the underlying single neuron mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the authors leverage simultaneous intracranial EEG and single neuron spiking recordings in the human medial temporal lobe to unveil differential sharpening and fatiguing mechanisms across different temporal lobe areas.
