Research Articles published by eLife are full-length studies that present important breakthroughs across the life sciences and biomedicine. There is no maximum length and no limits on the number of display items.
Fundamental distinctions in the extracellular signatures of active-dendritic chemical and electrical synapses necessitate a revision of conventional interpretations of local field potentials centered on chemical synapses.
A time-dependent genetic interaction between the µ opioid receptor and genes drives early morphine responses in mice, highlighting pathways linked to human substance use disorder.
Gaze patterns during value-based choice may reflect post-decision processes rather than a direct causal influence of attention on preference formation.

TNF-driven metabolic reprogramming enhances glucose utilization in monocytes through inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), promoting parasite control and host resistance during Plasmodium infection.
Flexible evidence accumulation in dynamic environments relies on multiple mechanisms, including context-dependent modulations of sensory adaptation and pupil-linked arousal.
The brain computes rapidly and reliably using brief electrical impulses and likely exploits internal memory in nerve cells to achieve this more efficiently than existing computing hardware and neural networks.
