Complex, multi-scale natural behaviors may arise from subpopulations of neurons in cerebral cortex operating near the tipping point of a phase transition, that is, near criticality.

Diffusion of differently sized proteins in bacterial cytoplasm is nearly Brownian and consistent with the Stokes-Einstein relation, once protein shape and cell geometry are taken into account, and effects of various perturbation can be described as changes in cytoplasmic viscosity.

A droplet microfluidics approach to stably trap and phenotype individual micron-sized algae reveals their distinct but stereotyped movement patterns and how they respond in real time to local environmental cues, including novel boundary circling behaviour under strong confinement.

The human brain uses a phase code to temporally segregate overlapping, competing memories along the phase cycle of the theta rhythm.

Measures of sleep features such as spindles and slow waves differentiate between young people with 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome and healthy controls, and may mediate the relationship between this genotype and psychiatric symptoms.

Visualizations, simulations, and examples are used to provide an accessible synthesis of the reasoning and assumptions behind commonly used causal discovery approaches.

Decoding of neural outcome and response representations allows dissecting goal-directed and habitual contributions to behaviour and reveals how acute stress biases the instrumental control of behaviour.

The damage of the bacterial cell envelope is found to be only a secondary effect of the antimicrobial activity of lactoferricin derivatives.

Allele-specific expression, natural antisense transcripts, and developmental gene expression, but not RNA editing or developmental hourglass, act in concert to shape the transcriptome during the fruiting body formation of complex multicellular fungi.

Individualized cross-frequency analyses reveal regionally specific slow oscillation–sleep spindle coupling precision as predictor for gross-motor learning dynamics.
