A novel quantitative framework to analyse the inner structure of tumour spheroids in terms of the mechanisms that underly growth.

Building on previous work (Metzen et al., 2016), a combination of neurophysiological and behavioral approaches reveals that changes in the background strongly impacts invariant coding and perception of behaviourally relevant signals.

Humans adjust the degree to which they learn from positive relative to negative outcomes as a function of how informative they estimate those outcomes to be.

Household transmission modeling qualified variation of individual infectiousness among infected persons, which could be caused by both biological factors and host behaviors.

Neurophysiological and behavioral approaches reveal how coordinated input from descending pathways shapes the tuning properties of electrosensory neurons in order to optimize coding of natural stimuli through temporal whitening.

Whether central vestibular neurons implement faithful stimulus encoding for the vestibulo-occular reflex or optimized coding via temporal whitening for other vestibular functions is determined by neural variability.

Visual sensitivity to correlation patterns in rats matches that previously measured in humans, as well as predictions from efficient coding theory based on the statistics of natural images.

Softer sound appears closer to midline than louder sound, conflicting with a labelled-line representation of auditory space and supporting the idea that humans use rate coding when calculating sound directionality.

The hippocampus demonstrates flexible coding during memory encoding, prioritizing either distance or time information based on the specific requirements of the experiment.

A match between neuronal variability and tuning enables optimized coding of natural self-motion in early vestibular pathways.
