In wild bonobos, sibling birth induced a sudden increase in urinary cortisol levels in the older offspring, a physiological response that occurred in all subjects and was independent of their age.

In mountain gorillas, as in certain human populations, relationships between group members can act as a social buffer, breaking the link between maternal loss, increased social adversity, and decreased fitness.
The enzyme PKMzeta is crucial for the maintenance of long-term memories, but a closely related enzyme provides a back-up should PKMzeta fail, thus explaining the controversy over why deleting the gene for PKMzeta may not appear to impair memory.
A magnetoencephalography study across different languages shows that life-long listening experience influences the neural mechanisms underlying rhythm perception.
Virtual conferences benefit the scientific community by increasing the number and diversity of attendees compared to in-person conferences, and by being less time consuming, more economic and environmentally friendly.

Inflamasomme inhibition prevents immune activation, HIV-1 pathogenesis and the splenic content of HIV-1 total DNA in humanized mice when administrated early after HIV-1 infection.
Sequentially expressed temporal transcription factors in neural stem cells during early development determine which progeny can undergo malignant transformation upon dedifferentiation.
Taking advantage of awell-established learning paradigm, conditioned taste aversion (CTA), change of hedonic value of a palatable tastant revealed the neural mechanisms encoding this learning process.
In bacteria, frequent adaptive copy-number mutations can hinder the fixation of beneficial point mutations and hence the divergence of duplicated DNA sequences.
