    A mobile genetic element increases bacterial host fitness by manipulating development

    Joshua M Jones, Ilana Grinberg ... Alan D Grossman
    A mobile genetic element provides a selective advantage to host cells by delaying development, including biofilm and spore formation, thereby enabling temporary cheating and extra divisions.

    Graphical-model framework for automated annotation of cell identities in dense cellular images

    Shivesh Chaudhary, Sol Ah Lee ... Hang Lu
    Unbiased and automatic annotation using structured prediction framework with efficiently built data-driven atlases is more accurate than registration-based methods for cell identifications in dense images and enables fast whole-brain analysis.

    Robust vestibular self-motion signals in macaque posterior cingulate region

    Bingyu Liu, Qingyang Tian, Yong Gu
    Macaque posterior cingulate region carries vestibular dominant self-motion signals with plentiful temporal components that could be useful for process of path integration.

    Processing of motion boundary orientation in macaque V2

    Heng Ma, Pengcheng Li ... Haidong D Lu
    Area V2 in macaque monkeys contributes to the perception of the outlines of moving objects and achieves this through a local computation.

    Mother brain is wired for social moments

    Ortal Shimon-Raz, Roy Salomon ... Ruth Feldman
    Mother brain shows special sensitivity to social moments of mother-infant synchrony, compared to other caregiving experiences, through enhanced activation across the caregiving network, response to oxytocin administration, and temporal consistency.

    Neural network of social interaction observation in marmosets

    Justine C Cléry, Yuki Hori ... Stefan Everling
    The brain network associated with social interaction observation involves large part of the frontal cortex and parietal areas in marmosets.

    Time-resolved phosphoproteomics reveals scaffolding and catalysis-responsive patterns of SHP2-dependent signaling

    Vidyasiri Vemulapalli, Lily A Chylek ... Stephen C Blacklow
    Monitoring SHP2 phosphoproteome dynamics identifies new substrate sites and sites protected from dephosphorylation by its SH2 domains, highlighting distinct scaffolding and catalytic activities in effecting a transmembrane signaling response.

    Spatio-temporal associations between deforestation and malaria incidence in Lao PDR

    Francois Rerolle, Emily Dantzer ... Adam Bennett
    Deforestation near villages is associated with short-term increases but long-term decreases in malaria incidence in Lao PDR, highlighting the influence of forest-going populations on malaria transmission in the region.

    Integron activity accelerates the evolution of antibiotic resistance

    Célia Souque, José Antonio Escudero, R Craig MacLean
    Integrons deploy a variety of adaptive strategies including excision, shuffling, and duplication of cassettes that foster rapid bacterial adaptation and resistance evolution while protecting the genomic integrity of the host.

    The role of oxytocin in delay of gratification and flexibility in non-social decision making

    Georgia Eleni Kapetaniou, Matthias A Reinhard ... Alexander Soutschek
    Oxytocin was found to significantly improve non-social decision making in a healthy sample, suggesting a domain-general function of the hormone, in contrast to its previously hypothesized social domain specificity.
