Social-interaction impairment in germ-free mice is associated with a markedly altered transcriptional response to social novelty in the amygdala, as characterised by replacement of upregulation of common stimulus-induced pathways with upregulation of the splicing machinery.

The brain obtains and preserves a consistent temporal alignment of multisensory and motor information flowing along staggered streams by maintaining an invariant estimate across modalities of the energy exchanged with the environment at discrete events.
Facing discrepancies in the sensory environment, multisensory information is combined in the medial superior parietal cortex to guide immediate judgements and to also adjust subsequent unisensory perception.
Changes in cortical neural ensembles and heightened coupling between the hippocampus and cortex enable the eventual behavioral integration of memories with overlapping sequential information.

Genes for adhesion, interbacterial competition, and secondary metabolite production are important colonization factors of the honey bee gut symbiont Frischella perrara and are regulated by the conserved histone-like DNA-binding protein integration host factor.
Snout-to-snout contact modulates the response of rat auditory cortex to calls from other animals, indicating that the multisensory nature of social interaction is directly represented in the rat brain.

The 3D structure of the six-subunit complex and its polymeric assembly gives insights into cargo transport in cilia and how specific mutations in these genes lead to ciliopathy birth defects.

In vivo evaluation of mineralized skeleton in the regenerating axolotl limb reveals a significant osteoclast-driven resorption as an early event with long-lasting impact for tissue integration.

Perirhinal cortex, a brain structure located in the medial temporal lobe, uniquely supports the integration of visual and conceptual object information.

Multimodal spectroscopy (smFRET, EPR, SAXS, and SANS) and integrative structural modeling reveal large-scale domain rearrangements in human guanylate binding protein 1 (hGBP1) that are driving forces for the formation of oligomers that enable its biological function in innate immune defense.
