Uphill migrations of lowland plants into warming alpine ecosystems may yield a positive climate feedback by accelerating soil microbial respiration and decreasing soil carbon content.

The auditory hair cell synaptic ribbon maintains vesicle pools near release sites in order to support sustained and timed vesicle release.

Multi-electrode recordings and modeling are combined to reveal the transformations of signals from cones to bipolar cells and then to ganglion cells within the primate retina.

Each cone terminal is electrically coupled to around 50 nearby rods, forming a switchable circuit, known as the secondary rod pathway, in which all gap junction channels participate.

Cryo-EM, Molecular Dynamics, and in vitro binding assays are combined to elucidate a new occluded conformation associated with zinc binding and energy coupling with the proton motive force.

An extended border coding circuit across the entorhinal and retrosplenial cortex incorporates self-referenced and viewpoint-invariant boundary information to guide navigation behavior.

The 3D shape and dynamic organization of epithelial cells are far more complex than previously believed, but can be explained with simple physical principles based on lateral surface energy minimisation.

A linear array of spectrin tetramers imparts mechanical stability to axons by allowing spectrin domains to unfold reversibly when an axon is stretched, thereby acting as tension buffers.
