    Optimal policy for attention-modulated decisions explains human fixation behavior

    Anthony I Jang, Ravi Sharma, Jan Drugowitsch
    A normative decision-making model that incorporates an information-limiting attention bottleneck is able to qualitatively replicate human behavior and make novel predictions that are verified in data.

    Modeled grid cells aligned by a flexible attractor

    Sabrina Benas, Ximena Fernandez, Emilio Kropff
    Continuous attractor networks can constrain population activity to manifolds with topology radically different from that of the network architecture.

    Dynamic localization of the chromosomal passenger complex in trypanosomes is controlled by the orphan kinesins KIN-A and KIN-B

    Daniel Ballmer, Bungo Akiyoshi
    The kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma brucei employs a unique mechanism to target the conserved Aurora B kinase to kinetochores and the central spindle.

    A spatial threshold for astrocyte calcium surge

    Justin Lines, Andres Baraibar ... Alfonso Araque
    In astrocytes, there exists an intrinsic spatial threshold of subcellular calcium levels that triggers an astrocyte calcium surge throughout the cell, demonstrating cellular astrocyte calcium integration of time and space.

    Antigenic drift and subtype interference shape A(H3N2) epidemic dynamics in the United States

    Amanda C Perofsky, John Huddleston ... Cécile Viboud
    Antigenic drift in influenza’s major surface proteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, contributes to variability in epidemic magnitude across seasons but is less influential than subtype interference in shaping annual outbreaks.

    Evolutionary adaptation to juvenile malnutrition impacts adult metabolism and impairs adult fitness in Drosophila

    Berra Erkosar, Cindy Dupuis ... Tadeusz J Kawecki
    Juvenile and adult metabolism are constrained from evolving independently from each other even in a species that lacks developmental continuity between juvenile and adult organs.

    Heritability enrichment in context-specific regulatory networks improves phenotype-relevant tissue identification

    Zhanying Feng, Zhana Duren ... Yong Wang
    Integrating chromatin accessibility and gene expression data into context-specific regulatory networks can provide better regulatory categories for heritability enrichment and relevant tissue identification.

    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.

    Two consecutive microtubule-based epithelial seaming events mediate dorsal closure in the scuttle fly Megaselia abdita

    Juan Jose Fraire-Zamora, Johannes Jaeger, Jérôme Solon
    Evolutionary reduction in tissue number involves the simplification of the seaming process but not signaling during epithelial fusion.

    Neural encoding of actual and imagined touch within human posterior parietal cortex

    Srinivas Chivukula, Carey Y Zhang ... Richard A Andersen
    Single neurons in human posterior parietal cortex encode actual and imagined touch within a shared neural substrate.
