A newly described isolate of the behavior-manipulating fly pathogen Entomophthora muscae that naturally infects fruit flies can be cultured in the lab, enabling molecular investigation of how microbes induce behavior changes in animal hosts.

In zombie fruit flies, Entomophthora muscae-elicited summiting behavior is mediated by blood-borne factors and the host circadian-neurosecretory network.

Entomophthora muscae has one of the largest fungal genomes (1.03 Gb) owing to extensive proliferation of transposable elements.

Imaging and correlative light and electron microscopy analyses of endosomal-lysosomal organellar assembly in mammalian oocytes elucidated statistic alteration in their size, distribution, and correlation with endo-lysosomal maturation during oocyte-to-embryo transition.

Human liver organoids provide a patient-derived platform to interrogate host and viral mechanisms of HBV replication, perform anti-HBV and toxicity drug screens, and investigate the molecular determinants of related tumorigenesis.

The RNA-binding protein polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1) is essential for B cell development at the pro-B cell stage where it suppresses S-phase entry and promotes progression through mitosis.

Explicit judgments of agency incorporate uncertainty by reflecting first-order measures of a noisy signal, but they do not correspond to second-order metacognitive measures of the noise in a signal.

During decisions between smaller-immediate rewards and larger rewards available in the future, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is critical to represent the value of rewards, not the future.

Rather than acting as passive and neutral co-factors for proneural proteins, E proteins play an active role in modulating the way the distinct proneural proteins instruct neurogenesis.

Human brain has incorporated natural statistics of spatial cues to the neural code supporting perception of sound location.
