    A neural progenitor mitotic wave is required for asynchronous axon outgrowth and morphology

    Jérôme Lacoste, Hédi Soula ... Sophie Louvet-Vallée
    Timing of neural precursor cells division controls the order of development of sensory neurons, which in turn determines their axon terminal pattern and ultimately fly behaviour.

    Controlling periodic long-range signalling to drive a morphogenetic transition

    Hugh Z Ford, Angelika Manhart, Jonathan R Chubb
    Cells control signal circulation to set the frequency of information transmitted over tissue scales.

    Cortex-wide BOLD fMRI activity reflects locally-recorded slow oscillation-associated calcium waves

    Miriam Schwalm, Florian Schmid ... Albrecht Stroh
    Locally recorded calcium events related to slow wave activity show a global cortical fMRI BOLD correlate, establishing a direct relation between a basic neurophysiological signal and the macroscopic perspective of pre-clinical fMRI.

    Cortical waves mediate the cellular response to electric fields

    Qixin Yang, Yuchuan Miao ... Wolfgang Losert
    Electrical and biomechanical stimuli directly bias cortical signal transduction and cytoskeletal waves, and the direct bias induced by an electric field develops slowly compared to the rapid surface-receptor-mediated response to chemotactic gradients.

    Dynamics of diffusive cell signaling relays

    Paul B Dieterle, Jiseon Min ... Ariel Amir
    The collective dynamics of cell signaling relays are at once dramatically sensitive to the system dimensionality and insensitive to many biological details.

    A quantitative theory of gamma synchronization in macaque V1

    Eric Lowet, Mark J Roberts ... Peter De Weerd
    Gamma-band synchronization behavior in area V1 was predicted by weakly coupled oscillator principles.

    Coordination of two opposite flagella allows high-speed swimming and active turning of individual zoospores

    Quang D Tran, Eric Galiana ... Xavier Noblin
    Coordinated actions of two opposite flagella control speed and change direction of plant pathogen Phytophthora zoospores, in which the anterior flagellum is the main motor to generate thrust and spontaneously switch from reciprocal beating to breaststrokes to reorient its body.

    The proneural wave in the Drosophila optic lobe is driven by an excitable reaction-diffusion mechanism

    David J Jörg, Elizabeth E Caygill ... Benjamin D Simons
    A model of signalling pathways interacting with proneural gene expression explains the sequential patterning of the largest visual processing centre in the developing Drosophila brain.

    Stereotyped behavioral maturation and rhythmic quiescence in C. elegans embryos

    Evan L Ardiel, Andrew Lauziere ... Hari Shroff
    Systematic analysis of behavioral maturation in the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo reveals a stereotyped developmental progression, including rhythmic behavioral quiescence elicited by a sleep-promoting neuron (RIS) releasing somnogenic peptides (FLP-11).

    A multi-scale model for hair follicles reveals heterogeneous domains driving rapid spatiotemporal hair growth patterning

    Qixuan Wang, Ji Won Oh ... Maksim V Plikus
    Regional differences in activator and inhibitor signals alter hair cycle pace across mouse skin and produce unique fur renewal 'landscapes', with fastest renewal on the ventrum and slowest renewal on the ear pinnae.
