    Curvature domains in V4 of macaque monkey

    Jia Ming Hu, Xue Mei Song ... Anna Wang Roe
    There is a systematic functional organization for curvature representation in area V4 where specific curvatures are encoded by unique values (modules) from the set of systematically represented values.

    Curvature-processing domains in primate V4

    Rendong Tang, Qianling Song ... Haidong D Lu
    Curvature-preferring neurons in monkey V4 cluster into 0.5-mm patches, which highlights the importance of curvature detection in visual object recognition and the key functional role of V4 in this process.

    Striatal direct and indirect pathway neurons differentially control the encoding and updating of goal-directed learning

    James Peak, Billy Chieng ... Bernard W Balleine
    Direct and indirect pathway neurons in posterior dorsomedial striatum were found to play distinct roles, with the former necessary for encoding and the latter for updating goal-directed learning.

    Glutamine metabolism modulates azole susceptibility in Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes

    Peter C Dumoulin, Joshua Vollrath ... Barbara Burleigh
    Trypanosoma cruzi intracellular amastigotes exhibit rapid resistance to azoles, independent of genetic selection, which is dependent on metabolic state and mechanistically distinct from latency.

    Absent phasing of respiratory and locomotor rhythms in running mice

    Coralie Hérent, Séverine Diem ... Julien Bouvier
    When mice run, their breathing frequency increases but breaths are not temporally synchronized to strides at any speed or gait.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    An adjunctive therapy administered with an antibiotic prevents enrichment of antibiotic-resistant clones of a colonizing opportunistic pathogen

    Valerie J Morley, Clare L Kinnear ... Andrew F Read
    Cholestyramine, an FDA-approved bile acid sequestrant, can be repurposed to inactivate the antibiotic daptomycin in the gut, which prevents the emergence of transmissible antibiotic resistance in gastrointestinal Enterococcus faecium populations.
    1. Cancer Biology

    TINF2 is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor that limits telomere length

    Isabelle Schmutz, Arjen R Mensenkamp ... Titia de Lange
    Mutations in TIN2, a component of shelterin that keeps telomere length in check, lead to cancer-predisposition by disabling the telomere tumor suppressor pathway.

    Time-to-event modeling of hypertension reveals the nonexistence of true controls

    Daniel Shriner, Amy R Bentley ... Charles N Rotimi
    Despite health disparities among groups, the lifetime risk of hypertension approaches 100% for African Americans, European Americans, and Mexican Americans.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cerebellar and vestibular nuclear synapses in the inferior olive have distinct release kinetics and neurotransmitters

    Josef Turecek, Wade G Regehr
    Inhibition from the cerebellar nuclei to the inferior olive is exclusively asynchronous and GABAergic, whereas the vestibular nuclei provide rapid synchronous inhibition mediated by mixed GABA and glycinergic synapses.

    Reinforcement regulates timing variability in thalamus

    Jing Wang, Eghbal Hosseini ... Mehrdad Jazayeri
    When behavioral outcomes are unfavorable, the brain searches for better outcomes by deliberately increasing its internal variability.
