    Vestigial auriculomotor activity indicates the direction of auditory attention in humans

    Daniel J Strauss, Farah I Corona-Strauss ... Steven A Hackley
    Recordings of ear muscles in humans show that ears attempt to pivot in the direction that requires attention.

    Dysregulation of mTOR signaling mediates common neurite and migration defects in both idiopathic and 16p11.2 deletion autism neural precursor cells

    Smrithi Prem, Bharati Dev ... Emanuel DiCicco-Bloom
    Alterations in mTOR signaling drive similar dysregulations in the critical mid-fetal neurodevelopmental processes of neurite outgrowth and cell migration in two distinct subsets of autism, idiopathic and 16p11.2 deletion.

    Computer assisted detection of axonal bouton structural plasticity in in vivo time-lapse images

    Rohan Gala, Daniel Lebrecht ... Armen Stepanyants
    BoutonAnalyzer software makes it possible to detect axonal boutons and measure their structural plasticity in long-term in vivo imaging experiments.

    Visual and motor signatures of locomotion dynamically shape a population code for feature detection in Drosophila

    Maxwell H Turner, Avery Krieger ... Thomas R Clandinin
    Neurons responsible for detecting local visual features are modulated by visual and motor-related forms of gain control that increase the threshold for detection when self-generated movement signals would dominate visual input.

    Notch-induced endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation governs mouse thymocyte β−selection

    Xia Liu, Jingjing Yu ... Xi Chen
    Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) is a critical protein quality control checkpoint for thymocyte β-slection.

    Development and characterization of new tools for detecting poly(ADP-ribose) in vitro and in vivo

    Sridevi Challa, Keun W Ryu ... W Lee Kraus
    Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) Trackers (PAR-Ts) are optimized PAR sensors that allow the detection and quantification of PAR levels in extracts, living cells, and living tissues with high sensitivity, and with temporal and spatial precision, in many different experimental and biological systems.

    Natural selection and repeated patterns of molecular evolution following allopatric divergence

    Yibo Dong, Shichao Chen ... Qiu-Yun(Jenny) Xiang
    The genomic architecture of allopatric species is a mosaic of many conserved genes and a few adaptive ones, reflecting balance between conservation of ancestral functions and evolution of new features.

    Detection of transient synchrony across oscillating receptors by the central electrosensory system of mormyrid fish

    Alejandro Vélez, Bruce A Carlson
    Building on previous work (Baker et al., 2015), further evidence is reported for a novel mechanism for sensory coding based on the detection of oscillatory synchrony among peripheral receptors.
    1. Cancer Biology

    Use of signals of positive and negative selection to distinguish cancer genes and passenger genes

    László Bányai, Maria Trexler ... László Patthy
    In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.

    Identification of motor neurons and a mechanosensitive sensory neuron in the defecation circuitry of Drosophila larvae

    Wei Zhang, Zhiqiang Yan ... Yuh Nung Jan
    The neural circuit underlying defecation behavior in Drosophila larvae has been identified and characterized.
