    Local, calcium- and reward-based synaptic learning rule that enhances dendritic nonlinearities can solve the nonlinear feature binding problem

    Zahra Khodadadi, Daniel Trpevski ... Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski
    Biophysically detailed modeling predicts that a biologically plausible synaptic plasticity rule, gated by calcium and dopamine, enables single neurons to solve nonlinear binding tasks by exploiting dendritic nonlinearities.

    Growth inhibitory factor/metallothionein-3 is a sulfane sulfur-binding protein

    Yasuhiro Shinkai, Yunjie Ding ... Yoshito Kumagai
    The hold-and-release regulation of zinc by GIF/MT-3 is mediated by sulfane sulfur through a redox-dependent switching mechanism.

    Elevated DNA damage without signs of aging in the short-sleeping Mexican cavefish

    Evan Lloyd, Fanning Xia ... Alex C Keene
    Cavefish exhibit resilience to chronic sleep loss and tolerate elevated DNA damage and reduced DNA repair responses without compromising healthspan or longevity.

    Relationship between cognitive abilities and mental health as represented by cognitive abilities at the neural and genetic levels of analysis

    Yue Wang, Richard Anney, Narun Pat
    Multimodal neuroimaging explained 66% of the cognitive–mental health link in children, outperforming polygenic scores (21%), and accounted for 58% of the environmental contribution to this relationship.

    Calcium transfer from the ER to other organelles for optimal signaling in Toxoplasma gondii

    Zhu-Hong Li, Beejan Asady ... Silvia NJ Moreno
    In Toxoplasma gondii, SERCA-driven ER Ca²⁺ uptake sustains homeostasis and enables redistribution to mitochondria and other organelles, highlighting the ER as a central hub in parasite Ca²⁺ signaling and infection.
