    Genetic network shaping Kenyon cell identity and function in Drosophila mushroom bodies

    Pei-Chi Chung, Kai-Yuan Ku ... Hung-Hsiang Yu
    The genetic network of BTB zinc finger transcription factors and Eip93F is crucial for Kenyon cell identity regulation and neuronal function acquisition in the construction of Drosophila mushroom bodies.

    Rift Valley fever virus dynamics in a transhumant cattle system in The Gambia

    Essa Jarra, Divine Ekwem ... Daniel T Haydon
    Endemic Rift Valley fever virus circulation in The Gambia is driven by seasonal cattle movements and eco-region differences, highlighting livestock mobility as a key target for effective control strategies.

    Flexible neural representations of abstract structural knowledge in the human entorhinal cortex

    Shirley Mark, Philipp Schwartenbeck ... Timothy E Behrens
    A novel fMRI method reveals that humans generalize task structure across non-aligned state spaces, showing entorhinal representations support flexible knowledge transfer.

    Synthetic gene circuits that selectively target RAS-driven cancers

    Gabriel Valentin Senn, Leon Nissen, Yaakov Benenson
    Design and integration of various biomolecular sensors for over-activated rat sarcoma (RAS) created synthetic gene circuits that distinguish mutant versus wild-type signaling and express a therapeutic protein to kill RAS-driven cancer cells.

    Size tuning of neural response variability in laminar circuits of macaque primary visual cortex

    Lauri Nurminen, Maryam Bijanzadeh, Alessandra Angelucci
    The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting multiple circuits and mechanisms as the source of variability.

    Transsaccadic working memory in healthy ageing and neurodegenerative disease

    Sijia Zhao, Thomas Parr ... Masud Husain
    Saccades selectively disrupt spatial but not colour memory, and while transsaccadic updating remains resilient to ageing and neurodegeneration, individual drawing deficits arise from impaired initial encoding and memory decay.

    The influence of sample size and covariate distributions on neuroanatomical normative modeling

    Camille Elleaume, Bruno Hebling Vieira ... Nicolas Langer
    Systematic analyses show that normative model performance strongly depends on sample size and covariate distributions, larger samples yield more stable fits, while misaligned covariates introduce systematic distortions in predictions.

    High-throughput neutralization measurements correlate strongly with evolutionary success of human influenza strains

    Caroline Kikawa, Andrea N Loes ... Jesse D Bloom
    High-throughput measurement of neutralization titers using a new sequencing-based assay can help explain which seasonal influenza strains spread in the human population.

    Dynamics of mesoscale brain network during visual discrimination learning revealed by chronic, large-scale single-unit recording

    Tian-Yi Wang, Chengcong Feng ... Zhengtuo Zhao
    During the acquisition of correct rejection response, rankings of functional connection separated for cortical and subcortical regions, which is predictive of the peak timing of visual information encoding across the network.

    Structure of the human CTF18−RFC clamp loader bound to PCNA

    Giuseppina R Briola, Mohammad Tehseen ... Alfredo De Biasio
    Human CTF18–RFC employs a unique structural stabilization mechanism to optimize PCNA loading and stimulate DNA synthesis by the leading-strand polymerase.
