Early visual cortex (V1) and hippocampal cortex represent a predictive map of the visual world akin to the successor representation.

Using carefully controlled expression levels and a variety of optical pulse-chase assays in mammalian neurons, an updated model for the polarized transport of synaptic vesicle proteins, and the first steps of synaptic vesicle biogenesis, were uncovered.

Ultrastructural and imaging studies of cochlear ribbon synapses demonstrate cis- and trans-synaptic molecular and structural effects in the absence of the AMPA-type glutamate receptor subunit GluA3 during mouse development in ambient sound levels.

By comparing different subsets in mouse inducible Tfh (iTfh) cells and human circulating Tfh (cTfh) cells after vaccination, Tfh17 cells were found to be better than Tfh1 or Tfh2 cells in maintenance and support immunological memory of humoral immunity.

Specific tissue environments provide selective pressures that give rise to distinct Ras oncogenic dosage in primary liver tumours and their metastatic-like outgrowths.

A model for flagellar length control based on calcium influx is rejected based on quantitative measurements in Chlamydomonas cells.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident protein wolframin regulates MCT1 protein levels in retinal glial cells controlling the shuttling of energy metabolites to both somata and axons of retinal ganglion cells and, thus, supporting their fitness and survival.

A single-cell RNA-seq study examining gene expression profiles in neurons that underlie Drosophila reproductive behaviors shows males and females build sex-specific behaviors at the molecular-genetic level by overlaying sex-specific information on core gene expression networks.

Novel components in the pathway from malignant hyperthermia to diabetes include promotion of a kinase that impedes glycogen synthesis, increased lysis of junctophilin1 and gene regulatory actions by a junctophilin fragment, surprisingly predicted to oppose the effects of elevated calcium.

Structures of human cytoplasmic dynein-1 bound to its regulator LIS1 reveal the interfaces involved in forming the complex and provide a context for disease-linked mutations.
