Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 20 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01834-wDuncan and colleagues link specific human brain cell types to schizophrenia and other complex brain phenotypes, providing mechanistic insights and a cellular taxonomy for psychiatric...

Dynamical constraints on neural population activity

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, January 17, 2025 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 17 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01845-7Oby, Degenhart, Grigsby and colleagues used a brain–computer interface to challenge monkeys to override their natural time courses of neural activity. They found the time courses to...

Propagation of neuronal micronuclei regulates microglial characteristics

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, January 17, 2025 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 17 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01863-5Neuronal micronuclei are transferred to microglia during the early postnatal period, which leads to altered microglial morphology and transcriptomic signatures, suggesting that these...

Neural populations are dynamic but constrained

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, January 17, 2025 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 17 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41593-024-01793-2Our brains evolved to help us rapidly learn new things. But anyone who has put in hours of practice to perfect their tennis serve, only to reach a plateau, can attest that our brains...

Seminal vesicle schwannoma with chronic hemorrhage

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Sunday, January 12, 2025 | Neuroscience

Schwannomas are benign tumors originating from Schwann cells, with seminal vesicle schwannomas being exceedingly rare. This report describes a 54-year-old man with an incidental discovery of a right-sided seminal vesicle mass during a routine ultrasound examination....
