#JNeurosci: Overconsumption of salt is a major global public health issue, so understanding the brain circuits that drive salt appetite is imperative. Anversa, Teng et al. found that BNST neurons gate salt appetite induced by low sodium levels.

#JNeurosci: Modern culture has decreased the time people spend in natural light, which can harm health. Morquette & Do identified forms of artificial lighting that target light-sensitive receptors in humans & other mammals similar to natural light.

From clicks to space: each echo adds information. Blind expert echolocators integrate successive clicks to refine spatial representations, outperforming novices. EEG captures the evolving neural dynamics underlying this accumulation process.

#JNeurosci: When playing in a band, notes must be efficient yet flexible to tempo, dynamics, or other musicians’ actions. Using a sequential finger‑pressing task, Nazerzadeh et al show this balance comes from integrating sensory input & sequence memory
