A model of efficient coding by olfactory neurons explains context-dependence observed in the effect of perturbations to the olfactory environment.

Motor context and mechanosensory feedback together influence how flies control head movements during visually guided flight maneuvers.

Children with autism often 'tune out' the voices in their environment and new results show that impaired processing of voices in the brain's reward system may underlie this social behavior.

A protein that is a building block of intercellular bridges between neurons promotes their ability to grow dendrites and make synapses.

Positive feedback between contractile ring myosin and compression-driven cortical flow can explain the exponential accumulation of contractile ring components and constriction rate acceleration that ensures timely cell separation during cytokinesis.

The self-buckling behavior of filamentous cyanobacteria allowed a quantification of their propulsion forces, indicating that adhesion plays an important role in gliding motility.

A live imaging and computational approach reveals feedback loops involving F-actin dynamics that regulate the NF-κB transcription factor RELA.

Transsynaptic viral tracing reveals that neurons in the superior colliculus employ projection specific rules to the sampling of retinal inputs, directing distinct visual features to different downstream targets.

Combined experimental and theoretical analysis identifies a molecular mechanism akin to working memory that enables single cells to perform complex navigation tasks in changing growth factor fields, beyond simple stimulus-response associations.

Training attention-mindfulness, emotion-motivational, and social cognitive skills over the course of 3 months alters brain functional and microstructural organization as a function of training content.
