The plainfin midshipman fish (Porichthys notatus) relies on the production and reception of social acoustic signals for reproductive success. During spawning, male midshipman produce long duration advertisement calls to attract females, which use their auditory sense to locate and access calling males. While seasonal changes based on reproductive state in inner-ear auditory sensitivity and frequency encoding in midshipman is well documented, little is known about reproductive-state dependent changes in central auditory sensitivity and auditory neural responsiveness to conspecific advertisement calls.

This study provides preliminary evidence for real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (rt-fMRI NF) as a potential intervention approach for internet gaming disorder (IGD). In a preregistered, randomized, single-blind trial, young individuals with elevated IGD risk were trained to downregulate gaming addiction-related brain activity. We show that, after 2 sessions of neurofeedback training, participants successfully downregulated their brain responses to gaming cues, suggesting the therapeutic potential of rt-fMRI NF for IGD (Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.

The inferior colliculus (IC) has traditionally been regarded as an important relay in the auditory pathway, primarily involved in relaying auditory information from the brainstem to the thalamus. However, this study uncovers the multifaceted role of the IC in bridging auditory processing, sensory prediction, and reward prediction. Through extracellular recordings in monkeys engaged in a sound duration-based deviation detection task, we observed a 'climbing effect' in neuronal firing rates, indicative of an enhanced response over sound sequences linked to sensory prediction rather than reward anticipation.

The ultrastructural organization of the nuclei of the tegmental region in juvenile chum salmon () was examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dorsal tegmental nuclei (DTN), the nucleus of (NFLM), and the nucleus of the oculomotor nerve (NIII) were studied. The ultrastructural examination provided detailed ultrastructural characteristics of neurons forming the tegmental nuclei and showed neuro-glial relationships in them.

Brainstem tumors are bounded by a compact topography of eloquent tracts, cranial nerves, and nuclei. Reliable intraoperative neuromonitoring aids microneurosurgical technique to optimize safe resection. The authors present a case of motor mapping-guided resection of a recurrent brainstem pilocytic astrocytoma.
