When ancestral Xenopus returned to water ~170mya, they evolved a new method for producing courtship calls underwater without airflow, using vibrations that also preserve essential acoustic information on species identity.
Gerbils exhibit stable, family-specific vocal dialects over weeks, suggesting vocal communication may play a key role in representing kinship in natural social groups.

Wild male orangutans produce long calls composed of two hierarchical layers, wherein isochronous sub-pulses occur within isochronous pulses, indicating that recursive vocal combinatorics are not exclusive to language among hominids.
The regional stability across distant local communities is related to the stability of and asynchronous dynamics among local communities, which are strongly impacted by population dynamics of a few abundant species and relative weakly by species diversity.
Analysis of knockout and knockdown melanoma cells and TCGA melanoma data shows that the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a major repressor of extracellular matrix (ECM) and focal adhesion genes.

There is a frequency-dependent association between the local field potential and the coordinated activity of populations of single neurons, which remains constant during different aspects of behaviour but changes across regions of primate sensorimotor cortex.
Engineered local heterogeneity in drug concentration is used as a tool to encode drug treatment regimens and to predict the macroscopic cellular response to drug perturbations.

Biophysically realistic computational model reveals how inhibitory interneurons initiate paroxysmal discharges and how changes in the ionic concentrations shape electrographic features of human seizures.
