Wind and ocean wave conditions experienced by albatrosses were estimated using an animal-borne recorder and revealed that take-off was easier under higher wave conditions.

Closed-loop pairing of taste stimuli with optogenetic activation of neurons encoding either reward or punishment reveals that flies can form both appetitive and aversive taste memories that impact their future behavioral responses to tastes.

SIRT2 has detrimental effects in the heart and plays a role in cardiac response to injury and the progression of cardiac hypertrophy, and targeting SIRT2 may provide a novel avenue for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy and ischemic disease.

Exposure to high-sugar diet in Drosophila resulted in the suppression of sweet sensitivity and feeding behavior in the offspring via altered epigenetic modifications on the histone, highlighting sustained impact of ancestral experience on the physiology and health of offspring.

Carbon-fixing organelles, called carboxysomes, link to their spatial organization system in the bacterial cell by a hexameric protein that forms pH-dependent condensates via a nuanced multidomain mechanism.

Revisiting limitations in time-resolved X-ray free-electron laser structures of the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center uncovers their irrelevance to proposed structural changes in electron transfer dynamics.

Inhibitory innervation in the dorsolateral geniculate nucleus is crucial for adult thalamic and cortical ocular dominance plasticity, highlighting potential thalamic involvement in conditions like amblyopia and learning disabilities.

Mfn2 depletion upregulates cytosolic Ca²⁺ in mouse fibroblast cells, leading to RhoA and nonmuscle myosin II overactivation and a prominent peripheral actin band structure, which is dependent on the contractile force on the cell–substrate interface.

Learning in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was achieved by fundamentally different cognitive and neural mechanisms from typically developing children, and insistence on sameness, a core symptom of ASD, contributed to such atypical mechanisms of learning in affected children.

A spiking neural network model explains how hippocampal theta sequences in two-dimensional arenas can arise from a combination of sensory-motor inputs, short-term synaptic plasticity, and intrinsic connectivity.
