    Neural correlates of ingroup bias for prosociality in rats

    Inbal Ben-Ami Bartal, Jocelyn M Breton ... Daniela Kaufer
    A distinct neural network, including the nucleus accumbens as a central hub, is active when rats are exposed to trapped ingroup members they had previously helped escape a trap, but not for outgroup members who had not been helped.

    Lives saved with vaccination for 10 pathogens across 112 countries in a pre-COVID-19 world

    Jaspreet Toor, Susy Echeverria-Londono ... Katy AM Gaythorpe
    Vaccination activities that occurred before the COVID-19 pandemic, 2000-2019, are estimated to avert 50 million deaths, highlighting the enormous benefits of continued and improving vaccination.

    Increased theta/alpha synchrony in the habenula-prefrontal network with negative emotional stimuli in human patients

    Yongzhi Huang, Bomin Sun ... Huiling Tan
    Increased theta/alpha band activities within the habenula area and the prefrontal cortex, as well as the increased synchrony between the two structures in the same frequency band can serve as an indicator for negative emotions in humans.

    Mechanical stretch scales centriole number to apical area via Piezo1 in multiciliated cells

    Saurabh Kulkarni, Jonathan Marquez ... Mustafa K Khokha
    Embryonic and mechanical manipulations of Xenopus multiciliated epithelium reveals that cell non-autonomous tensile forces generated by embryonic elongation calibrate cilia number in multiciliated cells via a mechanosensitive ion channel, Piezo1.
