    Gβγ engages PLCβ3 at multiple sites to reorient and facilitate its activation

    Isaac J Fisher, Kanishka Senarath ... Angeline M Lyon
    Phospholipase Cβ3 is translocated and activated by the heterotrimeric G protein subunit Gαq at the plasma membrane, but the Gβγ heterodimer is required for maximum activation.

    Zinc is a key regulator of the sperm-specific K+ channel (Slo3) function

    Rizki Tsari Andriani, Tanadet Pipatpolkai ... Takafumi Kawai
    Intracellular zinc dynamically changes during sperm capacitation and regulates Slo3-mediated hyperpolarization, while directly inhibiting Slo3 currents through residues contributing to its slow dissociation.

    Biophysically inspired mean-field model of neuronal populations driven by ion-exchange mechanisms

    Giovanni Rabuffo, Abhirup Bandyopadhyay ... Viktor Jirsa
    Bridging biophysical neuron models with tractable population dynamics opens a route to whole-brain investigation of ion-driven pathological states such as epilepsy and their potential therapeutic targets.

    A real-time, multi-animal model for automatic face detection and identification of freely moving common marmosets based on YOLOv8 algorithms

    Jiayue Yang, James Wang, Justine Cléry
    A generalizable computational approach automatically identifies individual common marmosets to serve as support for presenting and analyzing behavioral tasks without relying on extensive manual work.

    Dissociable roles of reward prediction error in the contrasting mood dynamics of depression and anxiety

    Zhihao Wang, Ting Wang ... Pengfei Xu
    Depression-specific symptoms blunt mood responses to unexpected outcomes, whereas anxiety-specific symptoms amplify them in non-clinical participants, with depression-related blunting also replicated in patients with affective disorders.

    PKD2L1 channels segregated to the apical compartment are the dual-mode pH sensor in cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons

    Magdalena Vitar, Daniel Prieto ... Federico F Trigo
    Apical PKD2L1 channels generate phasic and sustained currents that together make spinal cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons exquisite pH sensors.

    Single-cell spatial mapping reveals reproducible cell type organization and spatially dependent gene expression in gastruloids

    Catherine Triandafillou, Pranav Sompalle ... Arjun Raj
    Detailed, single-cell spatial gene expression across multiple gastruloids highlights macro-scale organizational consistency, simultaneous with variance in meso-scale patterning.
