    Policy shaping based on the learned preferences of others accounts for risky decision-making under social observation

    HeeYoung Seon, Dongil Chung
    Simulating others' preferences underlies riskier choices when being observed, driven by beliefs about observers' risk attitudes and supported by TPJ–dmPFC connectivity.

    Tuberculosis susceptibility in genetically diverse mice reveals functional diversity of neutrophils

    Marietta M Ravesloot-Chavez, Erik Van Dis ... Sarah A Stanley
    Wild-derived mice exhibit diversity in outcomes after infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

    The spatial frequency representation predicts category coding in the inferior temporal cortex

    Ramin Toosi, Behnam Karami ... Mohammad-Reza A Dehaqani
    Spatial frequency is explicitly and dynamically represented in the primate inferior temporal cortex, revealing distinct neural populations that differentially support object recognition, specially emphasizing high-frequency contributions to face processing.

    Gene regulatory mechanisms guiding bifurcation of inhibitory and excitatory neuron lineages in the mouse anterior brainstem

    Sami Kilpinen, Lassi Virtanen ... Juha Partanen
    Changes of the chromatin structure suggests how the fate selector transcription factors are activated and how they guide differentiation of GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons in the anterior brainstem.

    The general version of Hamilton’s rule

    Matthijs van Veelen
    The flexibility of the general version of Hamilton's rule allows the rule to match the complexity of the model of social behaviour, or the complexity implied by the data.

    Sequence action representations contextualize during early skill learning

    Debadatta Dash, Fumiaki Iwane ... Leonardo G Cohen
    When learning a new skill, neural representations of individual actions rapidly incorporate contextual information pertaining to the encompassing skill sequence-primarily during rest breaks interleaved with practice.

    Ancient trans-species polymorphism at the Major Histocompatibility Complex in primates

    Alyssa Lyn Fortier, Jonathan K Pritchard
    Trans-species polymorphism at primate Major Histocompatibility Complex genes is old, especially in the 'classical' genes, while rapidly-evolving regions of each gene correspond with proteins' functional domains.

    Dynamic estimation of the attentional field from visual cortical activity

    Ilona M Bloem, Leah Bakst ... Sam Ling
    Visuocortical activity in humans reveals that the spatial focus of covert attention flexibly shifts and expands in accordance with task demands.

    Xcr1+ type 1 conventional dendritic cells are essential mediators for atherosclerosis progression

    Tianhan Li, Liaoxun Lu ... Lichen Zhang
    Using Xcr1Cre-Gfp Rosa26LSL-DTA Apoe–/– model and Xcl1–/– Apoe–/– mouse model reveal an essential non-redundant role for the XCL1-XCR1 axis in cDC1-mediated atherogenesis.

    Cellular characterization of the mouse collecting lymphatic vessels reveals that lymphatic muscle cells are the innate pacemaker cells

    Scott D Zawieja, Grace A Pea ... Michael J Davis
    Lymphatic muscle cells, but not CD34+ adventitial cells, exhibited pacemaker behaviors including pressure-dependent depolarization, pressure-dependent calcium mobilization during diastole, and propagated contraction waves induced by focal, optogenetic depolarization via channel rhodopsin2.
