Fear updating relies on a flexible shift from generalized to item-specific, context-bound neural representations, revealing how the brain adapts to changing threat contingencies and why fear can return.

Confirming coevolutionary theory, monarch butterfly caterpillars show impaired growth and toxin sequestration when feeding on realistic cardenolide mixtures from their milkweed host plants.

Using RNAscope mapping provides the comprehensive, sex-specific atlas of vasopressin and its receptor gene expression across the murine brain, refining understanding of how vasopressin signaling is anatomically organized to regulate social behavior, stress responsivity, and homeostasis.

In statistical fine-mapping, signals stable across stratified subgroups can capture functionally important loci missed by covariate adjustment approaches, and prioritizing agreement between both approaches enhances functional variant discovery.
