    Temporal selectivity declines in the aging human auditory cortex

    Julia Erb, Lea-Maria Schmitt, Jonas Obleser
    The aged human auditory cortex shows preserved tonotopy, but temporal modulations are represented with a markedly broader tuning, highlighting decreased temporal selectivity as a hallmark of the aging auditory cortex.

    The cytokine GDF15 signals through a population of brainstem cholecystokinin neurons to mediate anorectic signalling

    Amy A Worth, Rosemary Shoop ... Simon M Luckman
    The GDF15 receptor, GFRAL,is expressed on a unique population of brainstem CCK neurons and mediates pathophysiological anorexia.

    The novel ciliogenesis regulator DYRK2 governs Hedgehog signaling during mouse embryogenesis

    Saishu Yoshida, Katsuhiko Aoki ... Kiyotsugu Yoshida
    DYRK2 regulator governs the mammalian ciliogenesis to maintain proper embryogenesis via activation of the Hh signaling during development in vivo.

    Membrane voltage dysregulation driven by metabolic dysfunction underlies bactericidal activity of aminoglycosides

    Giancarlo Noe Bruni, Joel M Kralj
    Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics that can kill Escherichia coli by building up internal voltage through disrupting the normal consumption of ATP.

    A sensorimotor model shows why a spectral jamming avoidance response does not help bats deal with jamming

    Omer Mazar, Yossi Yovel
    An elaborated bat-predator model shows that even in high bat-densities, bats can successfully catch flying insects and that changing their signals’ frequency is not necessary for dealing with sensory interference.

    α-synuclein strains that cause distinct pathologies differentially inhibit proteasome

    Genjiro Suzuki, Sei Imura ... Masato Hasegawa
    One α-synuclein strain inhibited proteasome activity and induced apparent pathologies, while the other did not, indicating a strain-dependent toxicity of α-synuclein aggregates, which support a prion-like behavior of α-synuclein.

    Dissecting cell-type-specific metabolism in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

    Allison N Lau, Zhaoqi Li ... Matthew G Vander Heiden
    Isotope tracing into macromolecules enables functional analysis of metabolism in specific cell populations in tumors and provides insight into metabolic differences between cancer and stromal cells in their endogenous microenvironment.

    Cdc13 is predominant over Stn1 and Ten1 in preventing chromosome end fusions

    Zhi-Jing Wu, Jia-Cheng Liu ... Jin-Qiu Zhou
    Cdc13 prevents chromosomes from end-to-end fusion.

    A minimal self-organisation model of the Golgi apparatus

    Quentin Vagne, Jean-Patrick Vrel, Pierre Sens
    An unbiased model for the self-organisation of the Golgi apparatus displays either anterograde vesicular transport or cisternal maturation depending on ratios of budding, fusion and biochemical conversion rates.

    Microglial calcium signaling is attuned to neuronal activity in awake mice

    Anthony D Umpierre, Lauren L Bystrom ... Long-Jun Wu
    Microglial processes engage calcium signaling in response to hyper- or hypo-active shifts in neuronal activity.
