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.
Expectations about visual search difficulty enhance processing at attended locations by strengthening attentional signals rather than narrowing the spatial focus of attention.

Genetic induction of the hypoxic response promotes longevity through a cell-nonautonomous neuronal to intestinal circuit governed by serotonin, tyramine/adrenaline, GABA, and neuropeptide signaling.
People effectively estimate how much their control is dependent on the resources they are willing or able to invest, whereas misjudging this relationship is linked to maladaptive behavior and psychopathology.
Skin cells can preserve the original epithelium while forming a new one beneath 3 µm pores, with passage dependent on actin polymerization and restrained by Piezo1 and keratin 6.

Structural variants acquired through ancient hybridization can supply the raw material for ecological divergence while providing the recombination-suppressed background in which sex determination systems operate.
A magnetoencephalography study reveals numerical zero relies on alternative cognitive representations to non-numerical absences in a perceptual detection task.
Two pairs of dopaminergic neurons in the fly brain slow the heartbeat in response to threat, and this cardiac deceleration potentially promotes locomotion.

The rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterium Myxococcus xanthus forms spherical spores by degrading its peptidoglycan cell wall using two mutually regulating enzymes.
Genetic and microscopic analyses reveal that spectraplakin is required for uniform plus end-in organization of neuronal dendritic microtubules and that it acts in a localized and developmentally transient fashion.
