    Humans optimally anticipate and compensate for an uneven step during walking

    Osman Darici, Arthur D Kuo
    Humans can predict and optimally plan goal-directed dynamic walking tasks that have transient events such as negotiating a sidewalk curb.

    CaV2.1 channel mutations causing familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 increase the susceptibility for cortical spreading depolarizations and seizures and worsen outcome after experimental traumatic brain injury

    Nicole A Terpolilli, Reinhard Dolp ... Nikolaus Plesnila
    High mortality following traumatic brain injury in mice carrying a human mutation for familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1) is caused by a decreased threshold for cortical spreading depolarizations (CSDs) and subsequent brain edema formation.

    Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition proceeds through directional destabilization of multidimensional attractor

    Weikang Wang, Dante Poe ... Jianhua Xing
    Integrated live cell imaging and image analyses in the framework of transition path theories identify epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition proceeds through parallel paths.

    Coding of chromatic spatial contrast by macaque V1 neurons

    Abhishek De, Gregory D Horwitz
    Many V1 double-opponent cells integrate light information across their receptive fields as linearly as simple cells do.

    Corticohippocampal circuit dysfunction in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome

    Joanna Mattis, Ala Somarowthu ... Ethan M Goldberg
    Electrophysiology, optogenetics, and imaging in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome reveals dentate gyrus circuit dysfunction driven by hyperexcitability of the perforant path input from entorhinal cortex that can be modulated by recruitment of parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory interneurons.

    Activation of the CaMKII-Sarm1-ASK1-p38 MAP kinase pathway protects against axon degeneration caused by loss of mitochondria

    Chen Ding, Youjun Wu ... Marc Hammarlund
    Axon degeneration due to loss of mitochondria is suppressed by CaMKII activity and MAP kinase signaling.

    Selective YAP activation in Procr cells is essential for ovarian stem/progenitor expansion and epithelium repair

    Jingqiang Wang, Chunye Liu ... Yi Arial Zeng
    Genetic and mechanistic analyses reveal how ovulatory rupture triggers the activation and expansion of ovarian surface epithelial stem/progenitor cells, through selective activation of Yap, and enhanced expression of Procr by Yap.

    Signature-scoring methods developed for bulk samples are not adequate for cancer single-cell RNA sequencing data

    Nighat Noureen, Zhenqing Ye ... Siyuan Zheng
    Dropouts in single cell RNA sequencing data are associated with cell states and can affect gene signature scoring if methods do not account for them.
