    Live-cell single-molecule tracking highlights requirements for stable Smc5/6 chromatin association in vivo

    Thomas J Etheridge, Desiree Villahermosa ... Johanne M Murray
    In vivo single-molecule imaging demonstrates that Smc5/6 chromatin association depends on ATP hydrolysis and dsDNA binding, requires Nse6 and is modulated by Brc1 after DNA damage.

    Evolution of the complex transcription network controlling biofilm formation in Candida species

    Eugenio Mancera, Isabel Nocedal ... Alexander D Johnson
    The transcription networks controlling biofilm formation in Candida species exhibit 'structural' similarities, but show gradual substitutions of transcription regulators and frequent changes in target genes.

    Probing the decision-making mechanisms underlying choice between drug and nondrug rewards in rats

    Youna Vandaele, Magalie Lenoir ... Serge H Ahmed
    In a drug choice setting, rats’ preference is initially driven by deliberative processes but shifts to more automatic selection processes after extended training, in accordance with the sequential choice model.

    Learning excitatory-inhibitory neuronal assemblies in recurrent networks

    Owen Mackwood, Laura B Naumann, Henning Sprekeler
    The synaptic structure in mouse V1 is explained by a synergy of homeostatic plasticity in incoming and outgoing synapses of inhibitory interneurons, establishing a stimulus-specific balance of excitation and inhibition.

    The biomechanical role of extra-axonemal structures in shaping the flagellar beat of Euglena gracilis

    Giancarlo Cicconofri, Giovanni Noselli, Antonio DeSimone
    The 'spinning lasso' geometry of Euglena's beating flagellum is revealed, and a model based on the antagonistic forces exchanged by axoneme and paraflagellar rod is proposed to explain its emergence.

    Defects in translation-dependent quality control pathways lead to convergent molecular and neurodevelopmental pathology

    Markus Terrey, Scott I Adamson ... Susan L Ackerman
    Disruption of quality control pathways that function at distinct steps to mitigate errors in translation evoke similar cellular responses and pathologies.

    Exceptional stability of a perilipin on lipid droplets depends on its polar residues, suggesting multimeric assembly

    Manuel Giménez-Andrés, Tadej Emeršič ... Alenka Čopič
    The amphipathic helix of perilipin 4 relies on the organization of its polar residues to form a remarkably immobile and stable protein layer on the surface of lipid droplets.

    Gamma rhythms and visual information in mouse V1 specifically modulated by somatostatin+ neurons in reticular thalamus

    Mahmood S Hoseini, Bryan Higashikubo ... Jeanne T Paz
    Gamma rhythms and representation of visual information in the primary visual cortex are specifically modulated by somatostatin+ but not parvalbumin+ neurons in reticular thalamic nucleus.

    PMCA-generated prions from the olfactory mucosa of patients with Fatal Familial Insomnia cause prion disease in mice

    Edoardo Bistaffa, Alba Marín-Moreno ... Fabio Moda
    The olfactory mucosa of patients with fatal familial insomnia contains traces of infectious prions, and their analyses could support the clinical diagnosis and elucidate disease-specific mechanisms.

    Distinct neuronal populations contribute to trace conditioning and extinction learning in the hippocampal CA1

    Rebecca A Mount, Sudiksha Sridhar ... Xue Han
    Large-scale imaging analysis of CA1 reveals that distinct neural networks are involved in trace conditioning versus extinction learning, shedding light on how the hippocampus encodes different types of memory.
