    Vocal and locomotor coordination develops in association with the autonomic nervous system

    Morgan L Gustison, Jeremy I Borjon ... Asif A Ghazanfar
    Marmoset monkeys develop their vocal behavior prior to their postural and locomotor skills, but the coordination of these two motor systems emerges gradually via changes in arousal level.

    A two-step mechanism for the inactivation of microtubule organizing center function at the centrosome

    Jérémy Magescas, Jenny C Zonka, Jessica L Feldman
    The microtubule organizing potential of the centrosome is inactivated in a stepwise process through phosphatase activity and mechanical disruption to remove an aging matrix of proteins.

    The molecular architecture of engulfment during Bacillus subtilis sporulation

    Kanika Khanna, Javier Lopez-Garrido ... Elizabeth Villa
    In situ cryo-electron tomography unveils the molecular sociology of a developing sporangium in Bacillus subtilis, revealing critical information about cell wall remodeling and membrane migration in bacteria.

    Impaired skeletal muscle mitochondrial pyruvate uptake rewires glucose metabolism to drive whole-body leanness

    Arpit Sharma, Lalita Oonthonpan ... Eric B Taylor
    Skeletal muscle mitochondrial pyruvate carrier disruption increases muscle fatty acid oxidation and systemic glucose turnover that drive whole-body leanness.

    Neuroanatomy of a hydrothermal vent shrimp provides insights into the evolution of crustacean integrative brain centers

    Julia Machon, Jakob Krieger ... Steffen Harzsch
    A neuroanatomical analysis of Rimicaris exoculata provides insights into these animal’s brain architecture to illustrate possible adaptations to the hydrothermal vent habitat with its extreme physicochemical conditions.

    Neuropeptide B mediates female sexual receptivity in medaka fish, acting in a female-specific but reversible manner

    Towako Hiraki-Kajiyama, Junpei Yamashita ... Kataaki Okubo
    In the brain of medaka fish, neuropeptide B acts directly downstream of estrogen in a female-specific but reversible manner to mediate female receptivity to male courtship.

    IFN-mediated negative feedback supports bacteria class-specific macrophage inflammatory responses

    Rachel A Gottschalk, Michael G Dorrington ... Ronald N Germain
    Inflammatory dynamics are tailored to bacterial class through macrophage integration of microbial stimuli and cytokine feedback.
    1. Neuroscience

    Tactile sensory channels over-ruled by frequency decoding system that utilizes spike pattern regardless of receptor type

    Ingvars Birznieks, Sarah McIntyre ... Richard M Vickery
    Perception of vibrotactile frequency depends on the neural discharge pattern rather than the afferent type, thus requiring a reevaluation of the notion of Pacinian/non-Pacinian channels in tactile sensory system.

    Birds land reliably on complex surfaces by adapting their foot-surface interactions upon contact

    William RT Roderick, Diana D Chin ... David Lentink
    When landing, Pacific parrotlets exhibit stereotyped leg and wing dynamics regardless of perch diameter and texture, but foot and claw kinematics become surface-specific upon touchdown to successfully grasp the perch.

    Type-I myosins promote actin polymerization to drive membrane bending in endocytosis

    Hetty E Manenschijn, Andrea Picco ... Marko Kaksonen
    Monomeric myosins can stimulate growth of actin filaments under load.
