A new taxon from the Late Jurassic of southern Germany represents the second volant bird known from that time period and documents the improvement of flapping flight in bird evolution.

A complementary relationship exists between the hemispheric lateralization of inhibitory control (typically right) and speech (typically left), as observed in typically and atypically lateralized left-handed individuals.

Three-dimensional digital reconstruction shows the temporal and palatal regions of stemward avialans are evolutionarily and functionally conservative, and the mixture of plesiomorphic cranial morphologies together with derived postcranial skeleton manifests the key role of mosaicism in early bird diversification.

Multiverse analysis of the aperiodic component of the electroencephalography (EEG) power spectrum yielded robust evidence against a relationship to chronic pain, guiding further research on EEG biomarkers of chronic pain.

More integrated brains in crown birds evolved through a mosaic assembly of new evolutionary and developmental dynamics across neuroanatomical regions that occurred along the dinosaur-bird transition.

Short peptide motifs can confer specificity to developmental networks by inhibiting protein–protein interactions.

High cerebrospinal fluid tryptophan levels consistently predict increased mortality in HIV-infected and -uninfected patients in Vietnam and Indonesia.

Gata3 loss in prostate basal stem/progenitor cells upregulates BMP5 which is necessary and sufficient to sustain full self-renewal potential and its inhibition significantly delays both prostate and skin tumor progression.

New digital restorations indicate that the structure and function of the shoulder joint were highly variable among Early Cretaceous birds, with such key features as the configuration of the triosseal canal and the nature of scapula-coracoid articulation showing considerable diversity.

Proteins can fold deeper inside ribosomes with an enlarged exit tunnel.
