There is no discernible effect of an additional year of education from a policy change on long-term structural neuroimaging measures in a large aging sample (UK Biobank).

Neocortical timing-dependent LTD relies on non-ionotropic presynaptic NMDA receptor signaling via JNK2, challenging the textbook view that NMDA receptors are ionotropic coincidence detectors in Hebbian plasticity.
Homotypic olfactory receptor neurons in Drosophila, including CO2-sensing neurons with distinctive sheet-like dendrites, exhibit unexpected morphological diversity that may underlie functional adaptability.
While persistent aggressive states in females are promoted by select cell types with recurrent connections (aIPg, pC1d+e), additional data and models are needed to explain the maintenance of these states.
A single-cell transcriptomic study characterizes foxl2l-expressing germ cell progenitors important for female development in zebrafish and reveals the mechanism of sex differentiation.
Analyses of zebrafish meioc mutants revealed that spermatogonial stem cells with low rRNA transcription caused by nucleolar Piwil1 require Meioc to keep Piwil1 in cytoplasm for the upregulation of rRNA transcription necessary for differentiation.
