    Cross-species alignment along the chronological axis reveals evolutionary effect on structural development of the human brain

    Yue Li, Qinyao Sun ... Jiaojian Wang
    A novel methodological strategy based on machine learning has been developed to study brain evolution across species.

    The identification of extensive samples of motor units in human muscles reveals diverse effects of neuromodulatory inputs on the rate coding

    Simon Avrillon, François Hug ... Dario Farina
    Motor units within a pool exhibit distinct rate coding as force levels change, highlighting how gain control can transform inputs with limited bandwidth into the desired muscle force.
    1. Neuroscience

    Efficient value synthesis in the orbitofrontal cortex explains how loss aversion adapts to the ranges of gain and loss prospects

    Jules Brochard, Jean Daunizeau
    Computational modeling shows how neural mechanisms for mitigating biological constraints (such as neurons’ limited firing range) may eventually result in complex though predictable irrational behavior.

    Decoding contextual influences on auditory perception from primary auditory cortex

    Bernhard Englitz, Sahar Akram ... Shihab Shamma
    The perception of ambiguous steps in relative tone height is predicted by direction-selective cells in the auditory cortex, rather than the brain's represented distance between the tone heights.

    Complex aneuploidy triggers autophagy and p53-mediated apoptosis and impairs the second lineage segregation in human preimplantation embryos

    Marius Regin, Yingnan Lei ... Claudia Spits
    Aneuploid human embryonic cells are eliminated by p53-mediated apoptosis in a gene dosage dependent manner.

    Polarised moonlight guides nocturnal bull ants home

    Cody A Freas, Ajay Narenda ... Ken Cheng
    Large eyed bull ants are able to use the exceedingly dim lunar polarised light pattern in the overhead sky to navigate back to the nest at night.

    Pharmacologically inducing regenerative cardiac cells by small molecule drugs

    Wei Zhou, Kezhang He ... Sheng Ding
    Induction of regenerative cardiac cells (RCCs) from human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes using a novel two-compound treatment enhances heart function following myocardial infarction and offers a promising avenue for cardiac regeneration through transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming.

    Rescuable sleep and synaptogenesis phenotypes in a Drosophila model of O-GlcNAc transferase intellectual disability

    Ignacy Czajewski, Bijayalaxmi Swain ... Daan MF van Aalten
    Modelling O-GlcNAc transferase intellectual disability reveals the roles of this post-translational modification in regulating normal axonal terminal morphology and maintaining appropriate sleep homeostasis, pharmacological and genetic rescues of O-GlcNAcylation highlight the complexities of addressing this disorder.

    Increased inflammatory signature in myeloid cells of non-small cell lung cancer patients with high clonal hematopoiesis burden

    Hyungtai Sim, Hyun Jung Park ... Murim Choi
    In metastatic NSCLC patients, CHIP showed minimal impact on immunotherapy response but was more prevalent and associated with inflammatory pathways in myeloid cells, particularly in lung squamous cell carcinoma.

    Modulation of RNA processing genes during sleep-dependent memory

    Yongjun Li, Nitin S Chouhan ... Amita Sehgal
    RNA processing genes regulated during sleep-dependent memory may contribute to sleep and memory.
