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.
Bruno Miranda, James L Butler ... Steven W Kennerley
Single-neuron recordings reveal that anterior cingulate cortex and caudate nucleus encode the interaction between rewards, state transitions, and choices that underlies flexible, goal-directed decision-making.
Kenji J Nishimura, Denisse Paredes ... Michael R Drew
Chemogenetic and in vivo recording approaches reveal how persistent hyperactivity in the posterior paraventricular thalamus promotes sensitization of fear responses to unlearned threats after stress exposure.
Megan S Laham, Martha S Ackerman-Berrier ... Gregory RJ Thatcher
Coregulator TR-FRET profiling reveals ligand-specific LXR signaling signatures that can guide the therapeutic design of ABCA1-inducing LXR agonists with attenuated risk of hepatic lipogenesis.
CLas hijacks the DA/DcDop2-miR-31a-AKH-JH signaling cascade to improve D. citri lipid metabolism and fecundity, while simultaneously promoting its replication.
Long-term motor recovery after musculoskeletal alteration relies on gradually developing novel compensatory movements to overcome the rigid, maladaptive timing of stable muscle synergies.

Esr1 directs adolescent transcriptional maturation of medial preoptic GABAergic neurons, enabling the normal development of mating behavior in male and female mice.
Tunable Bessel beam two-photon fluorescence microscopy enables high-speed volumetric intravital imaging of subcellular dynamics within living mouse brains with fully tunable spatial resolution and volume coverage, allowing flexible sampling and measurements of vascular, neuronal, and immune dynamics.
A multi-step ribosome assembly method involving changes in ion concentration and temperature can now be carried out in a single step using the two GTPase factors, EngA and ObgE.

A genetic analysis in yeast establishes that multicellularity can arise as a side-effect (passenger phenotype) of a completely independent fitness advantage unrelated to the benefits of group formation itself.
Disrupting oligodendrocytes during a narrow early-life window leaves cerebellar circuits permanently mistimed, but adult re-synchronization restores social and motor behavior.
