Genetic conflicts between sex chromosomes during spermatogenesis may drive the rapid evolution, function, and turnover of some sperm nuclear basic proteins in Drosophila species.

Intraspecific predator interference enables a wide range of consumer species to coexist with a limited variety of resources, explaining the paradox of the plankton and species diversity patterns across ecosystems.

Drosophila model reveals that NTE/SWS-associated neurodegeneration is a lysosomal storage disorder accompanied by a leaky brain permeability barrier, abnormal fatty acid metabolism, and inflammation.

Human telomerase unfolds and extends parallel G-quadruplexes using a unique mechanism involving its RNA template.

The capacity for new cerebellum-dependent learning is influenced by the recent history of neural activity in a mouse model of Fragile X syndrome, suggesting a role for metaplasticity.

The imprecise and broad connectivity of retinal inputs during development have the potential to generate large correlations in target neurons that reduce retinotopic information unless suppressed by the special synaptic and circuit properties present at these ages.

Purkinje cell inputs onto cerebellar nuclei (CbN) neurons have highly variable strengths, which allow them to influence CbN firing in a graded manner, with the largest individual inputs effectively regulating both the rate and spike timing of CbN neuron firing.

Inhibition of dopamine D2 receptors reduces generalization between stimuli, possibly by reducing interactions between the hippocampus and midbrain.

A single origin–recognition complex (ORC) directs loading of a pair of head-to-head Mcm2-7 replicative DNA helicases by forming a protein tether to the first helicase, releasing from its initial DNA-binding site, and rebinding the origin DNA in the opposite orientation.

Ultra-high field neuroimaging dissects the ventral medial geniculate body (vMGB) of the primary auditory pathway from other MGB subregions and reveals that vMGB top-down modulation is relevant for speech recognition.
