    Heterogeneous responses to embryonic critical period perturbations within the Drosophila larval locomotor circuit

    Niklas Krick, Jacob J Davies ... Matthias Landgraf
    Within the locomotor network of the Drosophila embryo, connected elements, from premotor interneuron to muscle, respond differentially to a critical period perturbation, suggesting a sequence of adjustment.

    Mid-zone hepatocytes trade proliferation for survival via Atf4-Chop axis in early acute liver injury

    Yaying Zhu, Chengxiang Deng ... Zhao Shan
    Mid-zone hepatocytes transiently pause proliferation through the Atf4-Chop-Btg2 axis to prioritize survival over regeneration during early acute liver injury.

    Modulation of human dorsal root ganglion neuron excitability by Nav1.7 inhibition

    Akie Fujita, Sooyeon Jo ... Bruce P Bean
    Inhibition of Nav1.7 sodium channels in human dorsal root ganglion neurons had larger effects to reduce threshold and upstroke velocity of action potentials compared to Nav1.8 inhibition but smaller effects to reduce repetitive firing of action potentials.

    Mycobacterium tuberculosis suppresses protective Th17 responses during infection

    Alex Zilinskas, Amir Balakhmet ... Sarah A Stanley
    Mycobacterium tuberculosis uses its type VII secretion system and surface lipid phthiocerol dimycocerosate to suppress protective host Th17 cell responses.

    An IL-21R STAT hypomorph circumvents functional redundancy in germinal centre responses

    Christoph Jandl, Joanna Warren ... Cecile King
    An IL-21 receptor mutation that differentially regulates STAT1 and STAT3 activation influenced the differentiation of T follicular cells.

    Large language models poorly capture how word order shapes representations of sentence meaning in the human brain

    James Fodor, Carsten Murawski, Shinsuke Suzuki
    Representations from models that explicitly encode semantic roles (who did what to whom) align better with activity in language regions of the brain than representations from transformers do.

    Morphology and ultrastructure of pharyngeal sense organs of Drosophila larvae

    Vincent Richter, Tilman Triphan ... Andreas S Thum
    Comprehensive ultrastructural reconstruction of the Drosophila larval pharyngeal sensory system reveals the organization and diversity of its sensory structures and enables future investigations into sensory processing, feeding decisions, and behavior.

    Mapping the topographic organization of the human zona incerta using diffusion MRI

    Roy AM Haast, Jason Kai ... Jonathan C Lau
    Showing that the structural connectivity between the zona incerta and cortex is organized along a rostral–caudal axis.

    Motor unit mechanisms of speed control in mouse locomotion

    Kyle Thomas, Rhuna Gibbs ... Samuel J Sober
    Recording the spiking activity of muscle fibers at high resolution in awake, behaving mice, reveals that locomotor speed is driven by highly variable subsets of motor units.

    Olfactory combinatorial coding supports risk–reward decision-making in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Md Zubayer Hossain Saad, William G Ryan ... Bruce A Bamber
    An odorant is encoded in the periphery as independent inputs of attractive and repulsive valence, which are then integrated and balanced to drive overall chemotactic behavior.
