    Unprecedented yet gradual nature of first millennium CE intercontinental crop plant dispersal revealed in ancient Negev desert refuse

    Daniel Fuks, Yoel Melamed ... Ehud Weiss
    New archaeobotanical data from Negev Highland rubbish middens demonstrate that crop diversity in the Southern Levant expanded more during the first millennium CE than in any earlier period, yet with minimal consequences for consumption and production patterns.

    Rapid learning of predictive maps with STDP and theta phase precession

    Tom M George, William de Cothi ... Caswell Barry
    A close approximation to the successor representation is learnt by a simple spike-time-dependent learning rule between cells undergoing theta phase precession.

    Humans optimally anticipate and compensate for an uneven step during walking

    Osman Darici, Arthur D Kuo
    Humans can predict and optimally plan goal-directed dynamic walking tasks that have transient events such as negotiating a sidewalk curb.

    Cellular mechanisms underlying central sensitization in a mouse model of chronic muscle pain

    Yu-Ling Lin, Zhu-Sen Yang ... Cheng-Chang Lien
    Maladaptive changes of pro-nociceptive neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala drive the chronification of muscle pain and comorbid affective behaviors.

    Tuning of feedforward control enables stable muscle force-length dynamics after loss of autogenic proprioceptive feedback

    Joanne C Gordon, Natalie C Holt ... Monica A Daley
    Running guinea fowl maintain stable running after loss of the stretch reflex in a major ankle extensor muscle, by increasing feedforward muscle activation to maintain ankle stiffness and work output.

    Experimental investigation of ant traffic under crowded conditions

    Laure-Anne Poissonnier, Sebastien Motsch ... Audrey Dussutour
    Behavioral experiments reveal that ants, contrary to humans, avoid the formation of traffic jams at extreme density.

    Mummified baboons reveal the far reach of early Egyptian mariners

    Nathaniel J Dominy, Salima Ikram ... Paul L Koch
    The fabled land of Punt is mapped for the first time using quantitative methods from the disciplines of primatology, geochemistry, and geography.
