The first genomic view of beetle luciferase evolution indicates evolutionary independence of luciferase between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide valuable datasets which will accelerate the discovery of new biotechnological tools.
When making two decisions about one object, two streams of information can be acquired in parallel but must be incorporated into the two decisions serially, consistent with a central bottleneck.
A close approximation to the successor representation is learnt by a simple spike-time-dependent learning rule between cells undergoing theta phase precession.
The BABY algorithm by estimating growth rates of individual cells from time-lapse microscopy images will help characterise the diversity in populations of budding cells, particularly differences in fitness.

T2N, a novel interface between Matlab, TREES toolbox and NEURON, was used to generate compartmental models that reproduce the electrophysiology of dentate granule cells over a multitude of species, experimental conditions and developmental stages.
