    Gender differences in submission behavior exacerbate publication disparities in elite journals

    Chaoqun Ni, Isabel Basson ... Vincent Larivière
    Gender differences in submission behavior, driven by self-perceptions of novelty and peer discouragement, limit women’s representation in high-impact journals and, in turn, their scientific visibility and career advancement.

    Motor biases reflect a misalignment between visual and proprioceptive reference frames

    Tianhe Wang, J Ryan Morehead ... Jonathan S Tsay
    The pattern of reaching biases is stable across contexts and can be attributed to a misalignment between eye-centric and body-centric representations of position.

    Impaired excitability of fast-spiking neurons in a novel mouse model of KCNC1 epileptic encephalopathy

    Eric R Wengert, Sophie R Liebergall ... Ethan M Goldberg
    Brain slice electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry, and in vivo two-photon calcium imaging identify circuit dysfunction and epilepsy mechanism in a Kcnc1-A421V/+ mouse model of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.

    Male-biased Cyp17a2 orchestrates antiviral sexual dimorphism in fish via STING stabilization and viral protein degradation

    Long-Feng Lu, Bao-jie Cui ... Shun Li
    Cyp17a2 enhances antiviral responses in male zebrafish by stabilizing STING through TRIM11-mediated K33-linked polyubiquitination, boosting IFN production.

    Unravelling the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying counterconditioning in humans

    Lisa Wirz, Maxime C Houtekamer ... Erno Hermans
    Counterconditioning improved safety memory retrieval over regular extinction, showing a shift away from vmPFC towards nucleus accumbens, and may thereby be a promising new treatment option.

    Ribosome demand links transcriptional bursts to protein expression noise

    Sampriti Pal, Upasana Ray, Riddhiman Dhar
    Propagation of expression noise from mRNA to protein level is influenced by variation in availability of ribosomal machinery.
