Infants have rich visual categories in ventrotemporal cortex at 2 months of age

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Monday, February 2, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 02 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-025-02187-8Using infant fMRI, the authors show that, by 2 months of age, representations in high-level visual cortex encode visual categories that align with deep neural networks, and lateral...

Studying infant vision in the scanner and in silico reveals the richness of early brain function

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Monday, February 2, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 02 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-025-02198-5Determining what infants recognize in the things they see has been difficult. Using brain imaging and deep neural networks, we found that in 2-month-old infants the visual system...

Corticothalamic communication for action coordination in a skilled motor behavior

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 29 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-025-02195-8Li et al. reveal projection neuron-type-specific dynamics that coordinate corticothalamic communication during reach-to-consume behavior in mice. If you do not see content above,...

Diversity and immune dynamics of choroid plexus macrophages are shaped by distinct developmental origins

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, January 21, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 21 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-025-02158-zThe choroid plexus is a vital brain ventricular organ that produces cerebrospinal fluid. This study shows how developmental origins and local niches shape the specialization of...

A prefrontal cortex map based on single-neuron activity

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Tuesday, January 20, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 20 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-025-02190-zThe authors mapped spontaneous and choice activity across mouse prefrontal cortex. The activity maps aligned with intrinsic connectivity rather than anatomical subregions, suggesting...

Investigating the methodological foundation of lesion network mapping

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Thursday, January 15, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 15 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-025-02196-7The lesion network mapping method links diverse brain lesions to similar functional brain networks, reflecting general brain organization rather than disorder-specific circuits. If...
