Hippocampal damage is associated with changes across the extended hippocampal system, and these may explain variability in memory between patients presenting with hippocampal amnesia.

RNAs enriched at cell protrusions are translated regardless of their location in the cytoplasm but are dynamically repressed in retracting protrusions and incorporated into heterogeneous RNA clusters.

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry reveals nucleotide-driven conformational regulation of Sec protein-channel to help impose directionality for protein transport through the Sec complex.

Threonine promotes sleep via down-regulation of metabotropic GABA transmission in the ellipsoid body R2 neurons that generate homeostatic sleep drive in Drosophila.

Delay-period activity of anterior piriform cortex is important for working memory tasks requiring active maintenance and encodes the maintained information.

Immune stimulation from the microbiota prevents neurological damage associated with viral infection of the central nervous system.

The capacity for symbiosis between photosynthetic microalgae and early diverging lineages fungi was demonstrated with microscopy and stable isotope exchange of carbon and nitrogen.

The dynamic phosphorylation of autophagy component WIPI2B is critical to maintain autophagosome biogenesis in neurons, and ectopic expression of WIPI2B can restore rates of autophagosome biogenesis in aged neurons.

The ability of photosynthetic algae to enter the hyphae of a soil fungus could tell us more about the evolution of these species.

Analysis of published studies reveals that flagellates and ciliates separately exhibit log-normal distributions of swimming speeds, and rescaling by the mean speed of each collapses them to a universal relationship.
