    Simultaneous brain, brainstem, and spinal cord pharmacological-fMRI reveals involvement of an endogenous opioid network in attentional analgesia

    Valeria Oliva, Ron Hartley-Davies ... Jonathan CW Brooks
    Attention-grabbing tasks produce rapid opioid-mediated analgesia via the descending pain modulation network to alter spinal neuronal activity.

    The effects of caloric restriction on adipose tissue and metabolic health are sex- and age-dependent

    Karla J Suchacki, Benjamin J Thomas ... William P Cawthorn
    The health benefits of caloric restriction, including decreasing body fat and blood glucose, differ between males and females and this difference depends on the age at which caloric restriction begins.

    Genetic insights into ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine

    Yoshinao Koike, Masahiko Takahata ... Shiro Ikegawa
    A GWAS meta-analysis for OPLL identified fourteen significant genomic loci and a subsequent Mendelian randomization study provided genetic evidence for a causal effect of obesity on the pathogenesis of OPLL, especially one of its subtypes, thoracic OPLL.

    Controlling gene activation by enhancers through a drug-inducible topological insulator

    Taro Tsujimura, Osamu Takase ... Keiichi Hishikawa
    A novel synthetic DNA cassette of CTCF-binding sites combined with the drug-controllable induction system of heterochromatin enabled switchable blocking of chromatin conformation and gene-enhancer interaction.

    Dopamine enhances model-free credit assignment through boosting of retrospective model-based inference

    Lorenz Deserno, Rani Moran ... Raymond J Dolan
    Cooperation between model-free and model-based control systems is boosted by enhancing dopamine levels.

    Selective dephosphorylation by PP2A-B55 directs the meiosis I-meiosis II transition in oocytes

    S Zachary Swartz, Hieu T Nguyen ... Arminja N Kettenbach
    Time-course phosphoproteomics reveals that selective dephosphorylation is critical for directing the MI/MII transition and that, through its inherent phospho-threonine preference, PP2A-B55 imposes specific phosphoregulated behaviors that distinguish the two meiotic divisions.

    Glycine inhibits NINJ1 membrane clustering to suppress plasma membrane rupture in cell death

    Jazlyn P Borges, Ragnhild SR Sætra ... Benjamin Ethan Steinberg
    Biochemical and microscopy-based approaches in mouse and human macrophages reveal that glycine cytoprotection acts at the level of the newly identified pan-death protein NINJ1 to inhibit multiple lytic cell death pathways, thereby resolving a long-standing mechanism of glycine cytoprotection.

    Categorical representation from sound and sight in the ventral occipito-temporal cortex of sighted and blind

    Stefania Mattioni, Mohamed Rezk ... Olivier Collignon
    The categorical organization of the ventral occipito-temporal cortex, typically thought to be a visual region, is actually partially independent of visual input and even visual experience.

    A connectome of the Drosophila central complex reveals network motifs suitable for flexible navigation and context-dependent action selection

    Brad K Hulse, Hannah Haberkern ... Vivek Jayaraman
    An analysis of the first complete synaptic resolution connectome of Drosophila's navigation circuit uncovers neural network motifs supporting broadly relevant sensorimotor computations.

    Chromerid genomes reveal the evolutionary path from photosynthetic algae to obligate intracellular parasites

    Yong H Woo, Hifzur Ansari ... Arnab Pain
    Analysis of chromerid algal genomes reveals how apicomplexans have evolved from free-living algae into successful eukaryotic parasites via massive losses and re-inventing functional roles of genes.
