% Optional front-matter lay summary. Set the label per journal:
%   \significancelabel{Author Summary}      (PLOS)
%   \significancelabel{Significance}         (PNAS)
%   \significancelabel{New & Noteworthy}     (eNeuro)
% Default label is "Significance Statement" (J Neurosci / eNeuro style).
\begin{significance}
A short, lay-accessible statement of why this work matters (\textasciitilde75--200 words,
journal-dependent). Required by PLOS (Author Summary), J Neuroscience / eNeuro (Significance
Statement), and PNAS (Significance). Delete this block for journals that do not use it.
