    The ability to sense the environment is heterogeneously distributed in cell populations

    Andrew Goetz, Hoda Akl, Purushottam Dixit
    Information transduction capacity of mammalian cells is high and varies substantially from cell to cell.

    Cellular organization in lab-evolved and extant multicellular species obeys a maximum entropy law

    Thomas C Day, Stephanie S Höhn ... Peter J Yunker
    The distributions of cellular neighborhood volumes in two very different multicellular species - snowflake yeast and Volvox carteri - are found to obey a common functional form arising from maximum entropy consideration, despite great differences in their cell division processes.

    Interrogating theoretical models of neural computation with emergent property inference

    Sean R Bittner, Agostina Palmigiano ... John Cunningham
    Emergent property inference, a novel machine learning methodology, learns distributions of neural circuit model parameters that produce computational properties and provides novel scientific insight through the quantification of the rich parametric structure it captures.

    Graphical-model framework for automated annotation of cell identities in dense cellular images

    Shivesh Chaudhary, Sol Ah Lee ... Hang Lu
    Unbiased and automatic annotation using structured prediction framework with efficiently built data-driven atlases is more accurate than registration-based methods for cell identifications in dense images and enables fast whole-brain analysis.

    Neural assemblies uncovered by generative modeling explain whole-brain activity statistics and reflect structural connectivity

    Thijs L van der Plas, Jérôme Tubiana ... Georges Debrégeas
    A data-driven network model offers an interpretable and physiologically sound description of the whole-brain spontaneous neural activity of zebrafish larvae.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cortical state transitions and stimulus response evolve along stiff and sloppy parameter dimensions, respectively

    Adrian Ponce-Alvarez, Gabriela Mochol ... Gustavo Deco
    Neurons differ in their impact on collective cortical activity, with sensitive neurons forming a stable topological core, implicated in cortical-state transitions, while peripheral insensitive neurons are more responsive to stimuli.

    Simulation of spontaneous G protein activation reveals a new intermediate driving GDP unbinding

    Xianqiang Sun, Sukrit Singh ... Gregory R Bowman
    Combining powerful simulation methods uncovers the structural and dynamical changes driving G protein activation in atomic detail, revealing the allosteric network that triggers GDP release and reconciling diverse experimental data.

    Control of entropy in neural models of environmental state

    Timothy H Muller, Rogier B Mars ... Jill X O'Reilly
    Evidence for neuromodulatory control of flexibility in human neural models.

    Active sensing in the categorization of visual patterns

    Scott Cheng-Hsin Yang, Máté Lengyel, Daniel M Wolpert
    Humans use a near-optimal eye movement strategy to efficiently extract information about high-level visual categories.

    Quantifying changes in the T cell receptor repertoire during thymic development

    Francesco Camaglia, Arie Ryvkin ... Nir Friedman
    Sequence signatures can be used to discriminate between selected and non-selected immune repertoires at different stages only at the collective population level but not at the level of single cells.
