    Drainage of inflammatory macromolecules from the brain to periphery targets the liver for macrophage infiltration

    Linlin Yang, Jessica A Jiménez ... Celia E Shiau
    Circulation of molecules from the brain can serve as a rapid mode of communication from the brain to the liver.

    Emergence and function of cortical offset responses in sound termination detection

    Magdalena Solyga, Tania Rinaldi Barkat
    Cortical offset responses are not only inherited from the periphery but also amplified and de novo generated, and preventing them decreases the ability to detect sound termination.
    1. Developmental Biology

    Notch-dependent and -independent transcription are modulated by tissue movements at gastrulation

    Julia Falo-Sanjuan, Sarah Bray
    Live-imaging of Notch-dependent transcription in vivo reveals that cell movements during gastrulation influence transcription levels, and do so downstream of Notch cleavage, illustrating the importance of crosstalk between mechanics and transcription in the context of embryonic development.

    Learning precise spatiotemporal sequences via biophysically realistic learning rules in a modular, spiking network

    Ian Cone, Harel Z Shouval
    A computational model shows that it's possible to learn and replay extended temporal sequences in a network of spiking neurons with a modular architecture and a biologically realistic learning rule.

    Striatal action-value neurons reconsidered

    Lotem Elber-Dorozko, Yonatan Loewenstein
    The numerous reports in support of action-value representation in the striatum are based on statistical analyses that are subject to two critical confounds and, thus, this long-held belief of striatal action-value representation should be retested using different experiments and analyses.

    Body side-specific control of motor activity during turning in a walking animal

    Matthias Gruhn, Philipp Rosenbaum ... Ansgar Büschges
    Turning in an insect is the combined result of body-side-specific modifications in processing of local sensory feedback, and modification of local central pattern generator activity.

    Conservation of preparatory neural events in monkey motor cortex regardless of how movement is initiated

    Antonio H Lara, Gamaleldin F Elsayed ... Mark M Churchland
    Voluntary movements are preceded by a temporally flexible preparatory neural process that is present regardless of whether movement is initiated rapidly or thoughtfully.

    Oncometabolite D-2-Hydroxyglutarate enhances gene silencing through inhibition of specific H3K36 histone demethylases

    Ryan Janke, Anthony T Iavarone, Jasper Rine
    Mutations in budding yeast modeled after cancer-associated isocitrate dehydrogenase mutations lead to stabilization of heterochromatin and enhanced gene silencing through inhibition of specific histone demethylases by the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate.

    Evidence from a natural experiment that malaria parasitemia is pathogenic in retinopathy-negative cerebral malaria

    Dylan S Small, Terrie E Taylor ... Karl B Seydel
    The sickle cell trait strongly protects against not only retinopathy-positive cerebral malaria but also retinopathy-negative cerebral malaria, providing evidence that malarial parasites also contribute to retinopathy-negative cerebral malaria and are not innocent bystanders.

    Programmed conversion of hypertrophic chondrocytes into osteoblasts and marrow adipocytes within zebrafish bones

    Dion Giovannone, Sandeep Paul ... J Gage Crump
    Cartilage cells transition through a proliferative intermediate to give rise to bone and marrow fat cells in long bones.
