Increasing semantic relationships with old information accelerates learning and enhances memory for new information and increases the likelihood of both old and new information being recalled together.

Secreted effector proteins of Toxoplasma gondii parasites create a supportive immune environment in mice, allowing individually less fit mutants to thrive and evade detection by in vivo CRISPR screens.
Cell cycle arrest in response to a double-stranded break is initially maintained by the DNA damage checkpoint and later by the spindle assembly checkpoint.

The subjective value of choice options changes during deliberation, and accounting for these changes improves predictions of choices, response times, and BOLD fMRI activity.
The visual information walkers use for path selection during locomotion was revealed by analysis of a three-dimensional numerical representation of the natural terrain.

Biochemical detection of endogenous, paralog-specific DVL2 complexes, molecular characterization of underlying protein domains and functional evidence for their importance extend the knowledge of Wnt pathway regulation through DVL2 biomolecular condensates.
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.
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.
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.
