The Major Histocompatibility Complex region evolves via gene birth-and-death, resulting in short-lived genes, rapidly expanding gene subfamilies, and many gene fragments.
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.
Eed, a core subunit of Polycomb repressive complex 2, is required for craniofacial osteoblast differentiation and mesenchymal proliferation after induction of the neural crest.

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.

By providing new ways to map cortico-subcortical connectivity patterns, the proposed cross-species tractography approaches directly allow novel comparative studies between the human and macaque brain and enable subsequent explorations of brain-behaviour/disease symptom associations across individuals.

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.
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.

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.
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.
