Urban wildlife harbor gut bacteria found in humans but missing from rural wildlife, consistent with bacterial transmission from humans to wildlife in cities.

Real-time imaging of neural activity in behaving mice reveals that the two canonical types of neurons in the olfactory tubercle carry distinct information about learned odor cues, with D1 neurons representing stimulus valence and D2 neurons mainly representing stimulus identity.

Sensory-evidence accumulation is a distributed cortical computation, but frontal cortical areas contribute to accumulation on longer timescales than posterior cortical areas.

Effectively connected neurons self-organize forming networks with a small-world architecture composed of modules, with most likely few and nearby neurons, integrated by more topologically important and high firing rate neurons.

PLC-γ isozymes are activated by a combination of receptor engagement and membrane proximity.

DExCon, LUXon, and DExogron approaches simultaneously block endogenous gene expression and permit tuning of re-expression levels in time and space; proof-of-principle reveals unforeseen differences in protein kinetics, cargo handling, and cell migration regulation between closely related Rab11 family members.

Telomere dysfunction in iPSC-derived type II alveolar epithelial cells causes senescence and gene expression changes including Wnt-related changes that GSK3 inhibition can rescue, providing insight into pulmonary fibrosis pathogenesis.

Human intracranial electroencephalographic recordings reveal the electrophysiological properties and hierarchical organization of spontaneous neuronal oscillations in the human insula and show that these oscillations are traveling waves, thus providing new insights into intrainsular and interinsular communication.

Single unit recordings in monkeys and biophysical modelling demonstrate that local inhibitory-controlled metastable neural states specify the temporal organization of cognitive functions in frontal areas.

The more semantically related a later experience is to an earlier one (along multiple dimensions), the more likely humans are to think back to and strengthen the memory of the earlier experience and mentally link the two experiences.
