    Regional heterogeneities of oligodendrocytes underlie biased Ranvier node spacing along single axons in sound localization circuit

    Ryo Egawa, Kota Hiraga ... Hiroshi Kuba
    Oligodendrocytes with different morphological features work together to support precise binaural integration for sound localization in the chick brainstem auditory circuit.

    Cryptovaranoides is not a squamate

    Michael W Caldwell, Chase D Brownstein ... Tiago R Simões
    Claims for a Triassic-aged crown lizard merit detailed reanalysis, the results of which find that Cryptovaranoides is not only not a lizard, but is a more distantly related diapsid reptile.

    Are peer reviewers influenced by their work being cited?

    Adrian Barnett
    Some requests by reviewers to cite their own publications are coercive and can unnecessarily delay indexation and publication.

    Human EEG and artificial neural networks reveal disentangled representations and processing timelines of object real-world size and depth in natural images

    Zitong Lu, Julie Golomb
    Neural and computational evidence reveals that real-world size is a temporally late, semantically grounded, and hierarchically stable dimension of object representation in both human brains and artificial neural networks.

    Cone bipolar cell synapses generate transient versus sustained signals in parallel ON pathways of the mouse retina

    Sidney P Kuo, Wan-Qing Yu ... Fred Rieke
    Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.

    Structural basis for collagen recognition by the Streptococcus pyogenes M3 protein and its involvement in biofilm

    Marta Wojnowska, Takeaki Wajima ... Ulrich Schwarz-Linek
    The T-shaped fold of an abundant surface protein ties streptococci to collagens, an interaction that enhances biofilm such as often found in invasive infections.

    Afadin-deficient mouse retinas exhibit severe neuronal lamination defects but preserve visual functions

    Akiko Ueno, Konan Sakuta ... Chieko Koike
    Afadin-deficient mice, whose outer-retinal lamination and photoreceptor synapses are severely disrupted, nonetheless partially retain retinal neural circuits and visual function.

    Cerebellar climbing fibers impact experience-dependent plasticity in the mouse primary somatosensory cortex

    Abby Silbaugh, Kevin P Koster, Christian Hansel
    Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across brain regions.

    Applying 3D correlative structured illumination microscopy and X-ray tomography to characterise herpes simplex virus-1 morphogenesis

    Kamal L Nahas, Viv Connor ... Colin M Crump
    Deletion of specific herpes simplex virus proteins prevents the progression of virus assembly at discrete stages, allowing detailed 3D imaging of rare events in the morphogenesis of virus particles.

    G-protein-coupled receptor diversity and evolution in the closest living relatives of metazoa

    Alain Garcia De Las Bayonas, Nicole King
    Up-to-date computational pipeline characterizes G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) repertoires in the closest relatives of metazoans, providing a framework to investigate the evolutionary origins and ancestral functions of key metazoan signaling pathways.
