The unexpected absence of danger is experienced as a pleasurable relief and activates reward-related brain regions in humans, highlighting an overlap in the processing of absent danger and rewards.
Motor memories represent dynamics in a minimum noise framework such that the execution of forces based on this representation minimizes the force distortion arising from neural noise, explaining the prior inconsistent force generalization results.

The entopeduncular nucleus multiplexes motor and reward signals, with spatio-temporal coding more prominent than kinematic, both shaped by movement goals, challenging prevailing theories of basal ganglia function.

Learned suppression of distractor locations in visual search emerges through reactive mechanisms that involve initial spatial selection prior to suppression.
behaviorMate provides a flexible, open-source platform for in vivo investigations that relies on a network of devices to enable observation of neural activity during navigation using physical treadmill and VR setups.

The oviduct dynamically adapts its molecular makeup over time and space, responding to sperm and embryos by activating inflammatory and metabolic genes in distinct regions to support reproduction.
Tree diversity and canopy cover shape host-parasitoid communities and network structure through phylogenetic links in a species-rich forest ecosystems.
A model is proposed to estimate the nuclear export rate of mRNAs produced in a transcription burst, using the spatial distribution of mRNAs determined by single-molecule RNA imaging.
