The basolateral amygdala complex and perirhinal cortex function like the focal and peripheral states of attention described by classic associative learning theories.
Mixture discrimination training induces durable, transferable olfactory learning, highlighting mixture configural odor quality as a distinct attribute supported by different plasticity mechanisms than chirality or concentration and offering a promising leverage point for olfactory rehabilitation.

Structures of the chromatin remodelling enzyme Chd1 during ongoing reactions reveal a reaction pathway tuned to generate nucleosome spacing similar to that observed in cells.
Establishment of AA263 analogs with improved potential for correcting pathologic disruptions of endoplasmic reticulum proteostasis implicated in the onset and pathogenesis of etiologically diverse diseases.

Covalent PPARγ inhibitors that better stabilize a repressive conformation are more effective inhibitors, but structural plasticity still allows ligand cobinding by enabling a shift back to an active conformation.
The stability of ribonucleoprotein complexes of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins differs among variants of concern and the viral evolution of nucleocapsid protein can be understood in the framework of fuzzy complexes.
Combined with high-throughput yeast genetics, a split green fluorescent protein encoded directly in the mitochondrial DNA helps to identify targeting signals and functions of dually localized proteins.
Distinct SMC5/6 subcomplexes mediate the transcriptional silencing of circular extrachromosomal DNA (SIMC1–SLF2) and repair of chromosomal DNA lesions (SLF1–SLF2), thus enabling exploration of SMC5/6 functions in innate immunity and cancer.
