A bioRxiv preprint analysing fMRI data from 1,712 people reports that task-related changes in brain activity timescales vary across cortical regions, track cognitive performance and follow a two-stage pattern during youth. The findings link these changes to cortical features associated with neural plasticity, but do not establish a causal mechanism.

A bioRxiv preprint reports that hippocampal Cajal-Retzius cells receive traced input from at least seven areas outside the hippocampus. The authors also describe strychnine-sensitive activity and close positioning of entorhinal fibres to glycinergic receptors.

A bioRxiv preprint reports one adversity-related pattern linking 104 measures of children’s environments with brain imaging in 5,976 youth. The pattern was associated chiefly with socioeconomic and neighborhood deprivation, lower cortical surface area and differences in functional connectivity.
