Proteins that are low abundant and/or poorly accessible to antibodies can be readily localised with fluorescent streptavidin, when expressed fused to a biotin ligase.
Preoptic neurotensinergic neurons co-release GABA and neurotensin, triggering a rapid initial inhibition followed by a sustained excitation, and mice lacking GABA release from these neurons exhibit altered thermoregulation.
The amyloid polymorph selection that occurs during α-synuclein aggregation is dictated by environmental conditions, in particular pH, with the largest variety of structures being observed near neutral pH.

The level of heterogeneity of cellular energy metabolism increases with model complexity and is the highest in patients' tumors, which can be observed and quantified using FLIM of NAD(P)H.
Connectomic, optogenetic, and high-throughput behavioral analyses identify a descending neuron in the fruit fly larval brain that modifies the timing of nociception-induced rolling.

Socio-emotional behavioral intervention links to changes in the structure and function of hippocampal subfields, in particular CA1-3, and reductions in cortisol levels in healthy adults.
First high-resolution structure of HGSNAT-acetyl-CoA complex, that describes the architecture of a novel transmembrane N-acetyltransferase fold and provides a molecular basis for MPS IIIC causing mutation induced destabilization of HGSNAT.
The common ancestor of extant mammalian coronaviruses originated recently in a bat species and their diversification occurred via preferential host switches rather than through codiversification with mammals.
BoNT intoxication of neurons is revisited using a genome-wide siRNA screen and organelle-specific reporters, suggesting a mechanism of translocation to the cytosol fundamentally different than previously proposed.
Low-dimensional external inputs are sufficient to control the speed of sequential activity, and to transition between persistent activity, in a network of neurons with both temporally symmetric and asymmetric learning.
