A screen of lactic acid bacteria reveals that diet modulates the age-dependent decline of thermotaxis behavior in C. elegans without changing the organismal lifespan.

Increasing cortical plasticity leads to better one-trial memory but more interference effects on semantic-like memory.

Affectionate touch in everyday life is linked to lower self-reported burden and is associated with higher endogenous oxytocin levels during times of prolonged stress.

In juvenile songbirds, neural sequences pre-exist tutor exposure, and the process of learning a new song may make use of existing neural sequences as a stable substrate for new behavioral changes.

Mice carrying a near-complete human chromosome 21 are hypermetabolic and have increased thermogenesis due to sarcolipin overexpression in the skeletal muscle, leading to persistent uncoupling of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca²⁺ ATPase pump activity and heat generation.

A novel immunoassay for ApoB-100, the main protein component of lipoproteins, enables the development of methods to enrich extracellular vesicles from human plasma while depleting both lipoproteins and free proteins.

Plasmodium falciparum apicoplast SufS is required for both iron-sulfur synthesis and tRNA modification by MnmA, a novel paradigm that is likely to apply to other plastid-containing organisms.

The adaptive SNX32 regulates cargo sorting in neuronal and non-neuronal cells.

Dopamine signaling in the bed nucleus of stria terminalis supports sign-tracking, reinforcer-specific satiety, and encodes reward prediction errors.

Immune dysregulation is thought to be a hallmark of long COVID or PASC but there is a need for understanding the underlying mechanisms which drive the disease progression.
