    Dynamic representation of 3D auditory space in the midbrain of the free-flying echolocating bat

    Ninad B Kothari, Melville J Wohlgemuth, Cynthia F Moss
    Neurons in the midbrain superior colliculus of free-flying echolocating bats represent 3D sensory space, and the depth tuning of single neurons is modulated by an animal's active sonar inspection of physical objects in its environment.

    Energy conservation by collective movement in schooling fish

    Yangfan Zhang, George V Lauder
    Fish schools showed an U-shaped metabolism-speed curve and reduced the energy use per tail beat up to 56% at high swimming speeds compared to solitary fish.

    Small deviations in kinematics and body form dictate muscle performances in the finely tuned avian downstroke

    Marc E Deetjen, Diana D Chin ... David Lentink
    Doves improve their wingbeat efficacy without elevating maximum pectoralis power by angling their wings mid-downstroke to efficiently generate aerodynamic force while simultaneously tensioning the supracoracoideus tendon to assist the upstroke.

    How adverse childhood experiences get under the skin: A systematic review, integration and methodological discussion on threat and reward learning mechanisms

    Julia Ruge, Mana R Ehlers ... Tina B Lonsdorf
    Individuals with a history of adverse childhood experiences show blunted response to threat and reward irrespective of sample and paradigm characteristics and despite heterogeneity in adversity operationalization and assessment.

    Neuronal glutamate transporters control reciprocal inhibition and gain modulation in D1 medium spiny neurons

    Maurice A Petroccione, Lianna Y D'Brant ... Annalisa Scimemi
    The neuronal glutamate transporter EAAC1 limits excitation and lateral inhibition between D1-MSNs, which are important for the execution of slow-switching flexible behaviors.

    Mice and primates use distinct strategies for visual segmentation

    Francisco J Luongo, Lu Liu ... Doris Y Tsao
    The behavioral ability of mice and treeshrews to detect visual figures is highly texture dependent, unlike that of primates including macaques and mouse lemurs, and neural responses to figures in mouse visual cortex are similarly texture dependent.

    Intrinsic monitoring of learning success facilitates memory encoding via the activation of the SN/VTA-Hippocampal loop

    Pablo Ripollés, Josep Marco-Pallarés ... Toemme Noesselt
    Self-motivated learning in the absence of external feedback can recruit the same brain network as reward-driven learning.
    1. Neuroscience

    Dual mechanisms of opioid-induced respiratory depression in the inspiratory rhythm-generating network

    Nathan A Baertsch, Nicholas E Bush ... Jan-Marino Ramirez
    Opioids cause hyperpolarization and pre-synaptic suppression among a subset of preBötzinger Complex neurons to impair respiratory rhythmogenesis.

    Microstructural and crystallographic evolution of palaeognath (Aves) eggshells

    Seung Choi, Mark E Hauber ... David J Varricchio
    The eggshells of palaeognath birds (e.g. ostrich, moa, kiwi, emu) have diverse homology and convergent features, and are useful modern analogues for the evolution of non-avian dinosaur eggshells.

    Mutationally-activated PI3’-kinase-α promotes de-differentiation of lung tumors initiated by the BRAFV600E oncoprotein kinase

    J Edward van Veen, Michael Scherzer ... Martin McMahon
    Two of the most commonly mutated growth factor pathways induce a deadly feature of lung adenocarcinoma.
