The extracellular concentration of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens core is progressively diminished by white noise, an underutilized, easy-to-titrate aversive stimulus, but is unaffected by white-noise intensity, context valence, and associated probabilistic contingencies.

Non-invasive disinhibition of the oculomotor system shows that ongoing preparatory activity in the superior colliculus has movement-generating potential and need not rise to threshold in order to produce a saccade.

Phase-locking of hippocampal theta and gamma waves has been proposed to support memory formation, but an analysis using robust statistical methods finds no convincing evidence for the phenomenon.

Discovery of a rapidly spreading outbreak of bacterial blight in Tanzania caused by a Xanthomonas strain that originates from Asia and editing of Komboka rice lines resistant to the newly introduced strains and to other Asian and African strains.

Chemical ablation of olfactory sensory neurons blocks cerebrospinal fluid outflow into the nasal epithelium, leading to alterations of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.

Maintenance of ubiquitin homeostasis is essential for proper control of the size of postsynaptic density and the growth of specialized membrane structure.

RNA binding protein FOX-1 functions as a dose-dependent X-signal element to communicate X-chromosome number and determine nematode sex by controlling alternative non-productive pre-mRNA splicing of the master sex-determination switch gene.

Computational modelling shows that coupled theta and gamma oscillations in the auditory cortex can decompose speech into its syllabic constituents, and organize the neural spiking at faster timescale into a decodable format.

A model of efficient coding by olfactory neurons explains context-dependence observed in the effect of perturbations to the olfactory environment.

Gaining genetic control over neural modules that drive the grooming of each Drosophila body part reveals how mechanisms for selecting among competing behavioral choices are used to generate sequences of actions.
