Trypanosoma brucei transmission through the tsetse fly does not require prior differentiation into the stumpy bloodstream form, revealing greater flexibility in the parasite life cycle.

The proposed muscle network analysis framework identifies a redundancy-to-synergy shift as a marker of stroke recovery, yielding new biomarkers that could objectively quantify functional impairment and rehabilitation efficacy.
Double-knockout of PKMζ and the other atypical PKC, PKCι/λ, reveals that, without PKMζ for maintenance, PKCι/λ becomes persistently active to sustain hippocampal late-LTP and long-term memory.
The unusually high genetic diversity of MHC genes cannot be explained by heterozygote advantage alone because heterozygote advantage is not expected without some other driver of diversity.

The spatial organization of chromatophore-muscle innervation by motoneurons enables the generation of chromatophore-shaped noise, virtual or composite chromatophores, and shape elements such as lines or small blobs.
The subthalamic nucleus contains subpopulations with different contributions to deliberative decision-making based on noisy evidence and reward-driven preferences.
An analysis of the largest publicly available collection of scanning electron microscopy images of explanted multielectrode arrays reveals that electrolytic lesioning causes no significant additional damage to array electrodes.

Catecholaminergic modulation by methylphenidate affects appetitive and aversive Pavlovian biases of approach and avoidance in humans depending on individual differences in working memory capacity.

A synaptic-resolution map reveals how spatially organized touch pathways in the fly brain shape aimed head grooming through parallel excitatory circuits and inhibitory control.
Movie alignment software uses a 3D spline model to capture beam-induced motion in cryo-electron microscopy movie frames, correct local sample distortions, and improve two-dimensional template matching signal-to-noise ratios in the corrected images.
