    Acidocalcisome-like vacuoles constitute a feedback-controlled phosphate buffering system for the cytosol

    Samuel Bru, Lydie Michaillat Mayer ... Andreas Mayer
    In vitro reconstitution identifies how lysosome-related vacuoles coordinate the synthesis and turnover of inorganic polyphosphates to create a powerful buffer system stabilising a vital metabolic parameter, the cytosolic concentration of phosphate.

    Complex opioid-driven modulation of glutamatergic and cholinergic neurotransmission in a GABAergic brain nucleus associated with emotion, reward, and addiction

    Ramesh Chittajallu, Anna Vlachos ... Chris J McBain
    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.

    Nanophysiology approach reveals diversity in calcium microdomains across zebrafish retinal bipolar ribbon synapses

    Nirujan Rameshkumar, Abhishek P Shrestha ... Thirumalini Vaithianathan
    Calcium levels and structural diversity among synaptic ribbons in bipolar neurons likely enable differential encoding of visual information, revealing a potential mechanism for fine-tuning sensory signal processing.

    Individual differences in tail risk sensitive exploration using Bayes-adaptive Markov decision processes

    Tingke Shen, Peter Dayan
    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.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cerebellar Purkinje cell stripe patterns reveal a differential vulnerability and resistance to cell loss during normal aging in mice

    Sarah G Donofrio, Cheryl Brandenburg ... Roy V Sillitoe
    Purkinje cell subpopulations have varying vulnerability to age-related neurodegeneration, creating a striped pattern of cell loss that reflects the developmental, anatomical, and functional organization of the cerebellum.

    The Shigella flexneri effector IpaH1.4 facilitates RNF213 degradation and protects cytosolic bacteria against interferon-induced ubiquitylation

    Luz Saavedra-Sanchez, Mary S Dickinson ... Jorn Coers
    The enteric bacterial Shigella secretes a virulence factor that degrades the pivotal human defense protein RNF213, thereby protecting cytosolic bacteria from interferon-driven ubiquitylation and associated innate immunity.

    Human RAP2A homolog of the Drosophila asymmetric cell division regulator Rap2l targets the stemness of glioblastoma stem cells

    Maribel Franco, Ricardo Gargini ... Ana Carmena
    Restitution of RAP2A, human homolog of Drosophila asymmetric cell division regulator Rap2l, in glioblastoma neurosphere cultures targets the stemness of glioblastoma stem cells and could contribute to reduce glioblastoma expansion.
    1. Neuroscience

    Center-surround inhibition in expectation and its underlying computational and artificial neural network models

    Ling Huang, Shiqi Shen ... Xilin Zhang
    Expectation optimizes perception through center-surround inhibition, enhancing expected representations while suppressing similar, irrelevant ones.
    1. Cell Biology

    The RAB27A effector SYTL5 regulates mitophagy and mitochondrial metabolism

    Ana Lapão, Lauren Sophie Johnson ... Anne Simonsen
    RAB27A-dependent mitochondrial recruitment of SYTL5 promotes mitophagy and mitochondrial bioenergetics upon hypoxia.
    1. Neuroscience

    Prosapip1 (encoded by the Lzts3 gene) in the dorsal hippocampus mediates synaptic protein composition, long-term potentiation, and spatial memory

    Zachary W Hoisington, Himanshu Gangal ... Dorit Ron
    Novel function of Prosapip1, a scaffolding protein highly expressed in the hippocampus, in maintaining postsynaptic density integrity and plays a vital role in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory.
