   Multifaceted role of galanin in brain excitability

   Nicolas N Rieser, Milena Ronchetti ... Stephan CF Neuhauss

   The neuropeptide galanin modulates whole-brain activity and stress responses in zebrafish, revealing a complex, receptor-dependent role in seizure regulation with implications for epilepsy, and related neurological disorders.

   Competence for transcellular infection in the root cortex involves a post-replicative, cell-cycle exit decision in Medicago truncatula

   Morgane Batzenschlager, Beatrice Lace ... Thomas Ott

   Imaging deep root tissues with a combination of cell-cycle reporters reveals that a cortical cell file traversed by symbiotic bacteria exhibits reduced proliferative potential and enters a prolonged G2 phase.

   Cestode larvae excite host neuronal circuits via glutamatergic signalling

   Anja de Lange, Hayley Tomes ... Joseph V Raimondo

   Parasitic tapeworm larvae release glutamate and other excitatory molecules that can directly excite brain neurons.

   The interplay between homeostatic synaptic scaling and homeostatic structural plasticity maintains the robust firing rate of neural networks

   Han Lu, Sandra Diaz-Pier ... Andreas Vlachos

   A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

   Drosophila hamlet mediates epithelial tissue assembly of the reproductive system

   Huazhen Wang, Ludivine Bertonnier-Brouty ... Qi Dai

   Hamlet regulates heterotypic epithelial fusion by controlling spatial and temporal expression of known and novel epithelial regulators like Wnt and Tl pathway components, a mechanism potentially conserved through evolution.
