    De novo learning versus adaptation of continuous control in a manual tracking task

    Christopher S Yang, Noah J Cowan, Adrian M Haith
    Humans can rapidly build a new controller when learning continuous movement tasks and can flexibly integrate this process with adaptation of an existing controller.

    A bidirectional corticoamygdala circuit for the encoding and retrieval of detailed reward memories

    Ana C Sias, Ashleigh K Morse ... Kate M Wassum
    The bidirectional orbitofrontal cortex-basolateral amygdala circuit helps us to learn the details of predicted rewarding events and then to use that information to make good reward pursuit decisions.

    A phase transition enhances the catalytic activity of SARM1, an NAD+ glycohydrolase involved in neurodegeneration

    Heather S Loring, Victoria L Czech ... Paul R Thompson
    The catalytic activity of SARM1, a key promoter of neuronal degeneration, is activated by >2000-fold by a phase transition.

    A Cas-BCAR3 co-regulatory circuit controls lamellipodia dynamics

    Elizabeth M Steenkiste, Jason D Berndt ... Jonathan A Cooper
    Epithelial cells coordinate integrin signaling with protrusion via a two-protein module, with one protein defining localization and downstream signaling, the other serving as a phosphorylation switch and providing negative feedback.

    Single-cell RNA-seq analysis reveals penaeid shrimp hemocyte subpopulations and cell differentiation process

    Keiichiro Koiwai, Takashi Koyama ... Ryuji Kawano
    Single-cell mRNA sequencing on hemocytes of penaeid shrimp revealed six types of hemocytes, type markers, differentiation pathways, and different immune roles among these subpopulations based on their transcriptional profiles.

    Structure and mechanistic features of the prokaryotic minimal RNase P

    Rebecca Feyh, Nadine B Waeber ... Florian Altegoer
    The novel cryo-electron microscopy structure of a bacterial protein-only RNase P illustrates how a small protein oligomerizes into a dodecameric assembly to catalyze the 5’-end maturation of tRNAs.
