Making causal inferences about illness, compared to making causal inferences about mechanical breakdown and reading causally unconnected sentences, activates a semantic brain network implicated in the conceptual representation of animate entities (e.g. people, animals).

Cell-specific manipulations uncover novel mechanisms in the ventral striatum that mediate the influence of environmental stimuli on action selection.

A multi-pronged approach reveals that ion transport peptide neuropeptide acts through the guanylate cyclase receptor Gyc76C to coordinate osmotic and metabolic homeostasis across multiple tissues in Drosophila.

Peptidisc-based thermal proteome profiling enables detergent-free mapping of membrane protein–ligand interactions, advancing the discovery of druggable targets in membrane-mimetic environments.

Independent replication confirms that avoidance of pathogenic PA14 learned by Caenorhabditis elegans persists through the F2 generation using standardized sodium azide immobilization choice assays, clarifying prior reproducibility concerns.

Removal of type-I nNOS neurons decreased delta-band power in the LFP, lowered dilation to sustained stimulation, decreased the interhemispheric coherence of neural and hemodynamic signals, and reduced vasomotion amplitude.

The cohesin subunit Scc1 returns and reconstitutes the complex with Smc1–Smc3 in late mitosis upon DNA double-strand breaks, although it does not participate in homologous recombination-driven MAT switching.

Early-life environment shapes how wild bats behave as adults, showing that developmental experience, rather than innate predisposition, drives individual differences in foraging behavior.

A jumping spider discriminates familiar from novel conspecifics for hours, indicating recognition and long-term memory in a miniature-brained, asocial arthropod, highlighting learning and internal representations in small nervous systems.

A new method to partition observed phenological changes based on drivers of spring phenology has been presented.
