    The role of anterior insular cortex inputs to dorsolateral striatum in binge alcohol drinking

    David L Haggerty, Braulio Munoz ... Brady K Atwood
    A novel brain circuit that determines how much alcohol a mouse binge drinks by complex control of drinking behavior mechanics is surveyed.

    A unified view of low complexity regions (LCRs) across species

    Byron Lee, Nima Jaberi-Lashkari, Eliezer Calo
    Disparate functions of low complexity regions of proteins can be understood through a global view of their sequences, features, and relationships across different organisms and biological contexts.

    Design of an optimal combination therapy with broadly neutralizing antibodies to suppress HIV-1

    Colin LaMont, Jakub Otwinowski ... Armita Nourmohammad
    Computational evolutionary model to predict the efficacy of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) in suppressing HIV and to design optimal combination therapy with bNAbs.

    Neural synchronization is strongest to the spectral flux of slow music and depends on familiarity and beat salience

    Kristin Weineck, Olivia Xin Wen, Molly J Henry
    Two different analysis approaches for measuring neural synchronization to natural music revealed strongest synchronization to musical spectral flux as opposed to the more commonly used amplitude envelope.

    The number of cytokinesis nodes in mitotic fission yeast scales with cell size

    Wasim A Sayyad, Thomas D Pollard
    Fission yeasts cells have about 190 cytokinesis nodes in a broad band at the equator which scales with cell size and most but not all nodes condense into the contractile ring.

    The C. elegans gonadal sheath Sh1 cells extend asymmetrically over a differentiating germ cell population in the proliferative zone

    Xin Li, Noor Singh ... Kacy Lynn Gordon
    As Caenorhabditis elegans adult hermaphrodite germ cells leave the stem cell niche, they associate with a pair of somatic gonad cells that were thought to be symmetrical, but that actually take on dramatically different positions in the organ.

    Time-resolved parameterization of aperiodic and periodic brain activity

    Luc Edward Wilson, Jason da Silva Castanheira, Sylvain Baillet
    The new method and reported findings address a growing interest in neuroscience for research tools that can reliably decompose brain activity at the mesoscopic scale into interpretable components.

    DNA passes through cohesin’s hinge as well as its Smc3–kleisin interface

    James E Collier, Kim A Nasmyth
    By identifying cohesin's DNA entry gate(s) and through understanding the corresponding topology between the two the mechanism behind cohesin's activity is slowly deciphered and will aid in understanding how the SMC family at large functions.
