Psychophysical measurement and computational modeling show that sensory information cannot contribute directly to a cognitive judgment, but must first be integrated into resource-limited working memory.

Syngeneic tp53-null zebrafish develop a wide range of tumors that engraft into recipient animals with loss of Tp53 leading to increased metastasis in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), likely accounting for increased aggression in TP53-inactivated human ERMS.
Chromosomal instability induced in solid tumors can combine with macrophages that are made highly phagocytic to thereby initiate elimination of and immunity against poorly immunogenic tumors in immunocompetent mice.

Modeling glioblastoma using expression of relevant human oncogenes in syngeneic zebrafish offers a powerful platform for current and future biological discovery, diagnostics, and therapeutic testing in an intact tumor microenvironment.

PTEN mutations disrupt inhibitory GABAergic signaling, causing neurodevelopmental defects that can be mitigated by β-hydroxybutyrate, which activates DAF-16/FOXO and may offer a therapeutic approach for excitation/inhibition imbalances.

Poly-PR and poly-GR interact with importin β, disrupt importin-cargo loading, and inhibit nuclear import in permeabilized cells in a manner that can be rescued by RNA.

Laser-ablating neurons of a single genetic class reveals that Dbx1-derived interneurons comprise core respiratory rhythmogenic and premotor circuits and provides quantitative cellular parameters that govern network functionality
The sex-specificity of a transcription factor required for sexual differentiation of a neural circuit is regulated by a novel post-transcriptional mechanism.

Synaptic resolution analysis of a full olfactory connectome reveals lateralised circuits, convergence of innate and learned pathways, and shows that homologous neurons are highly stereotyped within and across brains.
