A practical toolbox for application of Granger causality inference to calcium imaging data identifies strong driver neurons in the locus of the mesencephalic locomoter region in larval zebrafish.

Ideas about causality from philosophy can help scientists to better understand how cancerous tumors grow and spread in the body.

Bidirectional causal relationship between higher sedentary time and higher adiposity suggests that decreasing sedentary time is beneficial for weight management, but also that weight loss may help reduce sedentary time.

Visualizations, simulations, and examples are used to provide an accessible synthesis of the reasoning and assumptions behind commonly used causal discovery approaches.

Three complementary computational approaches reveal a set of putative causes of initiation of pan-USA waves of influenza.

Phenome-wide estimation of causality between plasma triglyceride levels and disease risk highlights associations with atherosclerotic disease and other unrelated diseases.

Smoking, measured by both initiation and intensity, are significantly associated with an elevated expression level of ACE2 in multiple human tissues/organs, subsequently increasing the susceptibility and severity of COVID-19.

Caudate neurons encode reward and sensory information and the effects of caudate microstimulation mimic the monkeys' voluntary reward bias strategy.

Fevers amongst African children are often assumed to be caused by a malaria infection, but here it is estimated that the majority of fevers amongst African children, including those with a patent malaria infection, are due to infections with diseases other than malaria.

Precisely tracking the anatomical sources of neural computations infers functional directed connectivity between hippocampal memory neurons and cortical sensory neurons, it reveals information flowing from cortex to hippocampus during encoding but the reverse direction during maintenance.
