The structure of an NRAMP-related Al³⁺ transporter illustrates the evolution of a branch of a conserved protein family of metal ion transporters in plants to combat Al³⁺ toxicity in acidic soil.

Finch embryos are laid at an earlier stage than other avian embryos and contain cells with similar properties to pluripotent embryonic stem cells from mice.

Gradient-descent synaptic plasticity applied to neuroscience categorization tasks captures the behaviour of common neural activity measures (category and context selectivity, correlation, asymmetry) reported in experiments, and makes novel experimental predictions.

An inference paradigm for extracting neuronal correlations from two-photon imaging data, without requiring intermediate spike deconvolution, provides significant performance gains over existing methods as demonstrated by theoretical analysis, simulation studies, and real-data applications.

Validated mathematical relationships between motoneuron morphometric and electrophysiological properties are provided as a tool for neuroscientists and modellers to generate hypotheses for experimental studies investigating currently unreported relationships and build virtual motoneuron profiles with consistent properties for modelling purposes.

Biological aging processes and age-related diseases demonstrate sexual dimorphism where complex interactions between underlying aging mechanisms and sex chromosomes and hormones are seen in humans and animals.

As the function of membrane proteins is often influenced by its membrane environment the presented combinatorial approach is of great value for the investigation of membrane protein complexes in natural or even manipulated lipid bilayers.

An analysis of the relation between neural activity and behavioral output uncovers two dynamical regimes, shows how to model them, and demonstrates how to find them in experimental data.

Mice can use self-motion cues to learn a cognitive map thereby permitting them to take shortcut trajectories in an open maze without requiring prior experience of such routes.
