    Precise temporal control of neuroblast migration through combined regulation and feedback of a Wnt receptor

    Erik S Schild, Shivam Gupta ... Hendrik C Korswagen
    Robust temporal regulation of a developmental decision in migrating Caenorhabditis elegans neuroblasts is mediated through a strategy that combines transcriptional activation and feedback of a timekeeper gene.

    Myofibroblast senescence promotes arrhythmogenic remodeling in the aged infarcted rabbit heart

    Brett C Baggett, Kevin R Murphy ... Gideon Koren
    Ex vivo, in vitro, and computational modeling studies indicate a persistence of myofibroblast senescence in the infarct border zone with age which can disrupt conduction and promote arrhythmias via senescent myofibroblast-cardiomyocyte coupling.

    Neural mechanisms of parasite-induced summiting behavior in ‘zombie’ Drosophila

    Carolyn Elya, Danylo Lavrentovich ... Benjamin de Bivort
    In zombie fruit flies, Entomophthora muscae-elicited summiting behavior is mediated by blood-borne factors and the host circadian-neurosecretory network.

    Multi-centre analysis of networks and genes modulated by hypothalamic stimulation in patients with aggressive behaviours

    Flavia Venetucci Gouveia, Jurgen Germann ... Clement Hamani
    Integrated imaging analysis of a large multi-center dataset showed that treatment of refractory aggressive behavior with hypothalamic deep brain stimulation is highly effective with specific clinical and neuroimaging features associated with treatment success.
