    Massive cortical reorganization in sighted Braille readers

    Katarzyna Siuda-Krzywicka, Łukasz Bola ... Marcin Szwed
    Teaching a tactile alphabet to sighted adults reveals the brain’s unexpected potential for change.

    Chemo- and optogenetic activation of hypothalamic Foxb1-expressing neurons and their terminal endings in the rostral-dorsolateral PAG leads to tachypnea, bradycardia, and immobility

    Reto B Cola, Diana M Roccaro-Waldmeyer ... Marco R Celio
    Foxb1-expressing hypothalamic neurons in the parvafox nucleus and the dorsal premammillary nucleus both contribute to behavioral and physiological components associated with defensive behavior.

    Quantitative prediction of variant effects on alternative splicing in MAPT using endogenous pre-messenger RNA structure probing

    Jayashree Kumar, Lela Lackey ... Alain Laederach
    A novel model is presented that reconciles in-cell structure probing data with splicing regulatory elements to predict exon 10 inclusion of the Tau gene with high accuracy for 53 splice altering mutations.

    Caveolae couple mechanical stress to integrin recycling and activation

    Fidel-Nicolás Lolo, Dácil María Pavón ... Miguel A del Pozo
    Caveolae regulate integrin mechanosensing by establishing a force threshold for activation and recycling.

    Extra-hippocampal contributions to pattern separation

    Tarek Amer, Lila Davachi
    The ability to discriminate highly overlapping events in memory is a multistage process supported by a network of brain regions and neocortical–hippocampal interactions.

    Appetite controlled by a cholecystokinin nucleus of the solitary tract to hypothalamus neurocircuit

    Giuseppe D'Agostino, David J Lyons ... Lora K Heisler
    A novel and distinct cholecystokinin brain circuit critically modulates food intake and body weight.

    Kinetochore-fiber lengths are maintained locally but coordinated globally by poles in the mammalian spindle

    Manuela Richter, Lila Neahring ... Sophie Dumont
    Live imaging and physical perturbations of spindles with unfocused poles reveal that mammalian spindle length emerges locally from kinetochore-fibers, but that global cues from focused spindle poles are needed to coordinate k-fibers across space and time and accurately segregate chromosomes.

    Genetic dissection of Down syndrome-associated congenital heart defects using a new mouse mapping panel

    Eva Lana-Elola, Sheona Watson-Scales ... Victor LJ Tybulewicz
    A panel of seven new mouse strains with chromosomal duplications is used to identify a minimal genetic region required in three copies to cause congenital heart defects typical of human Down syndrome.

    The integrated stress response remodels the microtubule-organizing center to clear unfolded proteins following proteotoxic stress

    Brian Hurwitz, Nicola Guzzi ... Elaine Fuchs
    In response to proteotoxic stress, squamous cell carcinoma cells hijack the integrated stress response to promote recovery by bolstering protection of microtubule dynamics.

    Mec1-independent activation of the Rad53 checkpoint kinase revealed by quantitative analysis of protein localization dynamics

    Brandon Ho, Ethan J Sanford ... Grant W Brown
    Retrograde signaling activates the Rad53 checkpoint kinase independently of the canonical DNA replication stress response.
