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.
During foraging under predatory threat, overlapping prefrontal neuron populations flexibly switch between encoding navigational space and predicting avoidance decisions.
Acoustic ecology introduces an additional dimension in plant-insect communication, revealing that female moths use ultrasonic emissions from dehydrated plants to guide oviposition decisions.
Live cell imaging and biochemical analyses reveal that CCDC32 interacts with AP2 to stabilize and drive invagination of clathrin-coated pits, and that clinical mutations disrupting this interaction cause cardio-facio-neuro-developmental syndrome.

Disrupting a single molybdenum cofactor gene allowed us to connect metabolic regulation of complex carbohydrates with cell organization, enabling genetic tuning of bacterial structural color for biomaterial applications.
Feedback signals to the early visual cortex convey both high-order and low-order visual information, but with different laminar profiles, and the high-order information is important for object recognition.

Synthetic adaptors combining camelid nanobodies with the UBX domain of the p97 adaptor FAF1 enable targeted substrate delivery to p97, establishing an E3 ubiquitin ligase-independent mechanism for selective protein degradation.

By modeling the single-trial electroencephalogram of participants performing perceptual decisions, and building on predictions from two century-old psychological laws, we estimate the times of information processing steps contained in decision-making.

LIN code offers a reliable framework for classifying gonococcal population structure, enabling straightforward exploration of isolate relationships, from broad superlineage divisions to minute single allele differences.
Analysis of ~50 million articles published in ~50 thousand journals demonstrates that journals have become more diverse in terms of both interdisciplinarity and internationalization but with some disciplinary differences.
