Topographic maps can gradually increase the fidelity of sensory representations and improve signal-to-noise ratio across multiple cortical circuits, a generic architectural feature that depends solely on the modularity of topographic projections and recurrent inhibition.

Random fluctuations in neuronal firing may enable a single brain region, the medial entorhinal cortex, to perform distinct roles in cognition (by generating gamma waves) and spatial navigation (by producing a grid cell map).

The role host and vector species play in pathogen transmission cycles is best quantified by integrating species' physiological and ecological competence.

A single framework of bounded evidence accumulation resolves the seemingly paradoxical effects of noise on accuracy, reaction time and confidence.

An eco-evolutionary model shows that heterozygote advantage can maintain over 100 major histocompatibility complex alleles, providing a potent explanation for extraordinary immune gene diversity and challenges previous models that predicted limited allele coexistence.

Observations of ant excavation from a confining corral, along with theoretical models and synthetic robot experiments show the emergence of cooperation induced by pheromones in a malleable environment that is moulded by and moulds collective behavior.

Separating behaviorally relevant signals from irrelevant signals reveals that neural signals previously considered to contain little information encode rich information and suggests that linear readout may be performed in motor cortex.

A new magnetic resonance brain imaging measure reveals that variations in people’s ability to recall their past experiences may be related to the speed at which electrical signals travel along axons in the parahippocampal cingulum bundle.

A theoretical model combines self-supervised predictive learning with structural inductive biases to reveal how quasi-continuous attractors that perform accurate angular path integration can be learned from experience during development in the Drosophila and potentially other animal models.

Tailoring Boolean models to 488 prostate cancer patients and 8 cell lines data allows for the experimentally validated personalisation of drug treatments.
