Cortex dynamically regulates the flow of sensory information by suppressing responses of non-relevant stimuli through mechanisms of adaptation, while boosting sensory responses that are behaviorally important.

The convergence of two visual pathways at the level of retinal bipolar cells accounts for key features of ganglion cell responses.

Chronic exposure to poor optical quality causes a functional reallocation of sensory processing resources that favors perceptual information less affected by the eye's optics.

Motor neurons adjust their sensitivity to direction of movement in a manner analogous to how neurons in the visual system adjust their sensitivity to light.

Peripheral retinal input transiently amplifies information transmission from ganglion cells, dynamically allocating the resources of neural activity to times of expected high information content.

First-order interneurons in the Drosophila visual system are not ON or OFF pathway-specific inputs, but serve as distinct computational units that distribute different kinds of luminance and contrast information across pathways to achieve stable behavioral responses to visual stimuli.

The adaptation of Arabidopsis plants to the local environment is linked to DNA methylation.

The statistics of binocular rivalry at different combinations of image contrast is reproduced quantitatively by competing out-of-equilibrium populations of independent neural assemblies with idealized attractor dynamics.

Relative hydraulic resistance, shear rate, and pressure in a vascular network integrate the network's architecture via fluid flow, and determine vein dynamics, with a time delay, in the prototypical organism Physarum polycephalum.

Fruit fly larvae adapt their decision-making process to the variability of the environment, illuminating the structure of adaptation in the underlying neural substrates.
