    The representation of facial emotion expands from sensory to prefrontal cortex with development

    Xiaoxu Fan, Abhishek Tripathi, Kelly Bijanki
    Facial emotion representations expand from sensory cortex to prefrontal regions across development, suggesting that the prefrontal cortex matures with development to enable a full understanding of facial emotion.

    Causal evidence for a domain-specific role of left superior frontal sulcus in human perceptual decision-making

    Miguel Barretto-Garcia, Marcus Grueschow ... Christian C Ruff
    Disrupting left superior frontal sulcus selectively impaired perceptual but not value-based decisions, revealing segregated prefrontal circuits for integrating sensory evidence versus subjective preferences in human choice behaviour.

    Single-cell transcriptomics identifies altered neutrophil dynamics and accentuated T-cell cytotoxicity in tobacco-flavored e-cigarette-exposed mouse lungs

    Gagandeep Kaur, Thomas Lamb ... Irfan Rahman
    Profiling cell-specific immune responses reveals altered neutrophil function and enhanced T-cell mediated cell death following acute in vivo exposure to tobacco-flavored e-cigarette aerosol using single-cell technology.

    Human brain dynamics and spatiotemporal trajectories during threat processing

    Joyneel Misra, Luiz Pessoa
    Intrinsic neural attractors and extrinsic environmental inputs jointly steer the dynamic trajectories of brain activity during threat processing.

    Feeding rates in sessile versus motile ciliates are hydrodynamically equivalent

    Jingyi Liu, Yi Man ... Eva Kanso
    Fluid flow analysis reveals that both swimming and sessile ciliates achieve competitive nutrient uptake, resolving the long-standing debate over the hydrodynamic advantage of either strategy.

    Mitochondrial protein carboxyl-terminal alanine-threonine tailing promotes human glioblastoma growth by regulating mitochondrial function

    Bei Zhang, Ting Cai ... Zhihao Wu
    The carboxyl-terminal alanine-threonine-tailed protein ATP5α helps glioblastoma mitochondria maintain a high membrane potential and keep the permeability transition pore closed, thereby promoting tumor growth and increasing resistance to apoptosis.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    Accelerated evolution in networked metapopulations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Partha Pratim Chakraborty, Rees Kassen
    Centralized migration accelerates adaptation and drives parallel evolution, emphasizing the key influence of spatial organization on evolutionary dynamics across systems from pathogen transmission to species range shifts.

    Mast cells promote pathology and susceptibility in tuberculosis

    Ananya Gupta, Vibha Taneja ... Shabaana A Khader
    Conserved mast-cell activation, marked by elevated protease expression, aligns with progressive tuberculosis across human, macaque, and murine models.

    Global risk mapping of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 and H5Nx in the light of epidemic episodes occurring from 2020 onwards

    Marie-Cécile Dupas, Maria F Vincenti-Gonzalez ... Simon Dellicour
    Post-2020, highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 circulation is characterised by spatially expanded ecological suitability, changes in key environmental predictors, and a wider range of avian species affected.

    Executive resources shape the impact of language predictability across the adult lifespan

    Merle Marie Schuckart, Sandra Martin ... Jonas Obleser
    Analyses of self-paced reading times reveal that linguistic prediction deteriorates under limited executive resources, with this resource sensitivity becoming markedly more pronounced with advancing age.
