A Short Report allows authors to publish the results of a small number of experiments, provided the conclusion is clear and justified, and the findings are novel and judged to be of high importance.
Social context modulates innate defensive behaviors in a rank- and threat-dependent manner, while threat experience reinforces social roles, revealing a bidirectional interplay between defensive and social behavior.

Current general-purpose large language models generate signaling and metabolic networks with only modest accuracy relative to manually curated network models.
Minimally disruptive genetic code expansion enables faithful, site-specific labeling of G3BP1 and TDP-43, revealing native stress granule dynamics and ALS-linked protein behavior in live cells.

The representation of stimulus identity and experience is transformed from primary olfactory cortex to memory-related multisensory areas in the hippocampus.
Using computational and theoretical models shows how adult-neurogenesis and spike-timing-dependent plasticity balance the flexibility and stability of odor representations.
Transcriptomic heterogeneity in infective-stage surface proteins of Trypanosoma cruzi, particularly trans-sialidase-like superfamily members, suggests distinct expression profiles among individual parasites that may enhance immune evasion and infection adaptability.
