    1. Neuroscience

    Neural excitability and sensory input determine intensity perception with opposing directions in initial cortical responses

    Tilman Stephani, Alice Hodapp ... Vadim V Nikulin
    Larger evoked responses during initial cortical processing may reflect states of lower excitability.
    1. Developmental Biology

    Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in Sox2 and Bra expression guides progenitor motility and destiny

    Michèle Romanos, Guillaume Allio ... Bertrand Bénazéraf
    Spatial variations of transcription factor expression regulate the choice of progenitors to stay in their niche or to migrate into neural and mesodermal tissues.

    Visualizing formation of the active site in the mitochondrial ribosome

    Viswanathan Chandrasekaran, Nirupa Desai ... V Ramakrishnan
    GTPBP7, NSUN4, and MTERF4 facilitate maturation of the peptidyl transferase center of the mitochondrial ribosome.

    Unbiased identification of novel transcription factors in striatal compartmentation and striosome maturation

    Maria-Daniela Cirnaru, Sicheng Song ... Michelle E Ehrlich
    RNAseq and ATACseq are utilized to identify transcription factors participating in striatal compartmentation into striosome and matrix, and roles for Stat1, Olig2, and Foxf2 are validated in vitro and in vivo.
    1. Cell Biology

    Protective mitochondrial fission induced by stress-responsive protein GJA1-20k

    Daisuke Shimura, Esther Nuebel ... Robin M Shaw
    Stress-induced alternative translation of an otherwise common gap junction protein generates an isoform that orchestrates protective mitochondrial fission and organ protection during anticipated ischemia.
    1. Cell Biology

    Endoplasmic reticulum tubules limit the size of misfolded protein condensates

    Smriti Parashar, Ravi Chidambaram ... Susan Ferro-Novick
    The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) uses ER tubules and specific ER autophagy machinery to prevent toxic, dominant-interfering, disease-causing, mutant proteins from entering the secretory pathway.

    SMA-miRs (miR-181a-5p, -324-5p, and -451a) are overexpressed in spinal muscular atrophy skeletal muscle and serum samples

    Emanuela Abiusi, Paola Infante ... Francesco Danilo Tiziano
    The identification of SMA-miR supports the pathogenic role of skeletal muscle in spinal muscular atrophy and, integrated in the SMA-score, may help to improve the phenotypic prediction for patients.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    Quantifying the relationship between genetic diversity and population size suggests natural selection cannot explain Lewontin’s Paradox

    Vince Buffalo
    Quantifying the relationship between census sizes and genetic diversity estimates provides insights into whether natural selection can explain the narrow range of diversity between species.
    1. Neuroscience

    Spectral signature and behavioral consequence of spontaneous shifts of pupil-linked arousal in human

    Ella Podvalny, Leana E King, Biyu J He
    Fluctuations of spectral power in large-scale cortical networks shape behavior in a perceptual decision-making task through arousal-linked and arousal-independent mechanisms.

    Cryo-EM reveals new species-specific proteins and symmetry elements in the Legionella pneumophila Dot/Icm T4SS

    Michael J Sheedlo, Clarissa L Durie ... Melanie D Ohi
    Structural analysis of the type IV secretion system purified from Legionella pneumophila uncovers new complex components and symmetry mismatches.
