A functional genetics approach reveals a novel role for odorant binding proteins in post-mating processes, with complex mechanisms of evolutionary change across closely related insect species.

The combination of molecular infrared fingerprinting and machine learning enables the detection of breast, bladder, prostate, and lung cancer based on liquid blood serum and plasma, providing a general framework for the minimally invasive investigation of oncological conditions.

Sequencing and counting RNAs from single cells can create a misleading picture of alternative splicing if too many mRNAs are lost in the process.

Many of the effects of intelligence on health and social outcomes later in life are mediated via education.

Amygdala input to ventral hippocampus is both excitatory and inhibitory, and the balance of these two projections controls the formation of place preference via differential innervation of each hippocampal output population.

Psychophysics experiments and EEG recordings reveal that people's performance in detecting unexpected changes in complex auditory scenes can be modeled as a process of sensory evidence accumulation.

Other than its function in mechanotransduction, TMC1 is indispensable for action potential firing of auditory hair cells by mediating a leak conductance that alters tonotopically along the cochlea coil.

First experimental studies on the ion atmosphere around a nucleosome provide a quantitative analysis of the molecule's electrostatic properties.

The centipede peptide toxin SpTx1 blocks the pore of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic β cells to markedly enhance insulin secretion and mitigate hyperglycemia in diabetic mice insensitive to the anti-diabetic sulfonylurea glibenclamide.

Different Purkinje cell subpopulations show distinct developmental profiles of physiological activity, climbing fiber inputs and axonal and dendritic morphology, matching different timelines of cerebellum-dependent behaviors.
