Research Articles published by eLife are full-length studies that present important breakthroughs across the life sciences and biomedicine. There is no maximum length and no limits on the number of display items.
Functional neural circuit dissection identifies sensorimotor responses to noxious cold in Drosophila larvae revealing complex mechanisms by which nervous systems sense and respond to cold.

Fingertip tactile neurons collectively encode the skin's viscoelastic state alongside current touch, potentially enabling the brain to better interpret forces during manipulation.
Separating alpha oscillations from broadband activity reveals that alpha suppression in the human visual cortex is highly localized, and modulates cortical state in a manner consistent with exogenous spatial attention.
BCAS2 directly binds to the Armadillo repeats 9–12 of β-catenin via the coiled-coil domains, sequestering β-catenin within the nucleus and thereby promoting Wnt signaling during primitive hematopoiesis.

Parallel connectome trajectories unfold asynchronously across timescales, sustaining a multiplex of functionally distinct brain networks operating at different speeds.
Phosphorylation of the kinesin-2 motor protein’s elbow region by NEKL-3 kinase maintains autoinhibition, enabling its transport to cilia for sensory function.

Higher body mass index has a wide range of harmful health effects, which sometimes appear to be more pronounced in men, suggesting that higher BMI may be one of the factors contributing to differences in lifespan between men and women.
