Highlights

  • Complex connections

    Optogenetics reveals that interactions between the basal ganglia and the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), a region that has a central role in motor control, are more complex than previously thought.

  • Early influences on cell fate

    Cells that polarize early during the 8-cell stage of development in mouse embryos are more likely to become part of the placenta.

  • Aggression in female gorillas

    Female-on-female aggression in gorillas depends on the relative numbers of males and females in the group, and on the reproductive state of the gorilla being aggressive.
