Cryo-EM and electrophysiology reveal the mechanism of SK2 channel modulation by the bee toxin apamin and small molecules, providing insights that enable the rational design of targeted SK2 channel therapeutics.
Reducing vaccine development time from 12 months to 6 reduces forecasting error by 25%, while reducing lags in genome sequence submission reduces uncertainty of current clade frequencies by 50%.
The electrogenic Na+/K+-ATPase generates a slow activity-dependent feedback signal that influences the computation of excitable cells and requires additional compensatory mechanisms during periods of high sustained activity.
The Major Histocompatibility Complex region evolves via gene birth-and-death, resulting in short-lived genes, rapidly expanding gene subfamilies, and many gene fragments.

A light–tone sensory preconditioning task in male mice is developed revealing sex differences and demonstrating that dorsal, but not ventral, hippocampal CaMKII-positive neurons encode innocuous stimulus associations.
Eed, a core subunit of Polycomb repressive complex 2, is required for craniofacial osteoblast differentiation and mesenchymal proliferation after induction of the neural crest.
A normative computational model of individual differences in mouse exploration driven by reward and threat uncertainty as well as risk sensitivity when faced with a novel object in an open field.

A pharmacogenetic approach provides a foundational dataset describing the influence of opioids on synaptic processing in a brain microcircuit known to be critical for driving hedonic behaviors.
