By providing new ways to map cortico-subcortical connectivity patterns, the proposed cross-species tractography approaches directly allow novel comparative studies between the human and macaque brain and enable subsequent explorations of brain-behaviour/disease symptom associations across individuals.

In vitro reconstitution identifies how lysosome-related vacuoles coordinate the synthesis and turnover of inorganic polyphosphates to create a powerful buffer system stabilising a vital metabolic parameter, the cytosolic concentration of phosphate.

A pharmacogenetic approach provides a foundational dataset describing the influence of opioids on synaptic processing in a brain microcircuit known to be critical for driving hedonic behaviors.
A normative computational model of individual differences in mouse exploration driven by reward and threat uncertainty as well as risk sensitivity when faced with a novel object in an open field.

Purkinje cell subpopulations have varying vulnerability to age-related neurodegeneration, creating a striped pattern of cell loss that reflects the developmental, anatomical, and functional organization of the cerebellum.

The enteric bacterial Shigella secretes a virulence factor that degrades the pivotal human defense protein RNF213, thereby protecting cytosolic bacteria from interferon-driven ubiquitylation and associated innate immunity.
