   Single mosquito metatranscriptomics identifies vectors, emerging pathogens and reservoirs in one assay

   Joshua Batson et al.

   How large-scale single mosquito metatranscriptomics can define the mosquito’s complex microbiota and its blood meal sources, and contribute critical epidemiological information needed to control vector borne disease transmission, is shown.

   A calcineurin-mediated scaling mechanism that controls a K⁺-leak channel to regulate morphogen and growth factor transcription

   Chao Yi et al.

   Calcineurin regulates an electrophysiological mechanism that activates the transcription of specific developmental genes in a heirarchical manner to scale fish appendages.

   GABA_A presynaptic inhibition regulates the gain and kinetics of retinal output neurons

   Jenna Nagy et al.

   Elimination of GABA_A receptors from the axon terminals of specific retinal bipolar cell types alters the sensitivity and kinetics of retinal output.

   Fate mapping analysis reveals a novel murine dermal migratory Langerhans-like cell population

   Jianpeng Sheng et al.

   Fate mapping analysis shows that not bona fide Langerhans cells but their ‘look-alikes’ dermal Langerhans cell-like cells migrate to the lymph nodes.

   Chromatin structure-dependent histone incorporation revealed by a genome-wide deposition assay

   Hiroaki Tachiwana et al.

   A new method using permeabilized cells and recombinant histones enables to analyze histone incorporations at the DNA sequence level.

   Medical education and distrust modulate the response of insular-cingulate network and ventral striatum in pain diagnosis

   Giada Dirupo et al.

   Behavioral and neural data converge in showing that medical experience reduces reactions to others' pain and distrust toward the target affects the processing of his feedback.

    Robust and distributed neural representation of action values

    Eun Ju Shin et al.

    Action-value signals previously found in many brain areas can be accounted for neither by concurrent serial correlations in neural activity and action value nor by signals for other decision variables.
