Sex-specific characteristics of the fruit fly courtship behavior are not specified by a single binary switch, but as a combination of traits that are modularly specified by separable genetic switches.

Spiking networks compensate the loss of neurons instantaneously, when restoration of excitatory/inhibitory balance becomes equivalent to restoration of functionality.

VIP-expressing cortical interneurons represent organism-level information about reward and punishment for local microcircuits to regulate local processing and plasticity.

The visual information walkers use for path selection during locomotion was revealed by analysis of a three-dimensional numerical representation of the natural terrain.

Collaborative hunting, characterized by the division of roles among predators, has emerged within a group of artificial agents through deep reinforcement learning.

A gain-of-function in a new chemical defense resulted in no trade-offs and and independent evolution between novel and ancestral defenses, suggesting low redundancy among different defensive chemicals.

The first atomic resolution structure of a mitochondrial respiratory complex from plants provides insight into the assembly and evolution of respiration in autotrophic eukaryotes.

TATA-box binding protein is not required for RNA Polymerase II transcription in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Autoinhibition allows synaptic endocytic actin regulators to pre-deploy to synaptic membranes at high concentrations and constrains actin assembly to productive events.

A fluorometric analysis under voltage clamp shows the presence of a converged electric field in P2X2 channel with no canonical voltage-sensor and identifies the structural determinants for the voltage-dependent gating.
