Chronic bacteriophages are induced by the supplement of polysaccharide in the deep-sea Lentisphaerae strains, and these bacteriophages potentially reprogram host polysaccharide metabolism through the auxiliary metabolic genes.

The rhythmic patterns of activity that underlie breathing are generated and coordinated by distinct populations of neurons within the brainstem.

A multi-scale integration of experimental and computational approaches shows how a non-linear dependence of T-type calcium channel gating on GABA_B receptor activity regulates thalamic network oscillations.

Inhibition in the brainstem has further roles beyond temporal sharpening and improves reproduction for a multitude of sounds.

Visualized odor encounters show that Drosophila navigate spatiotemporally complex odor plumes using random walks biased by the timing of brief and unpredictable odor encounters.

The calcium-binding proteins synaptotagmin 7 and Doc2α act sequentially during asynchronous neurotransmitter release.

Heterogeneous distances between vesicles and Ca²⁺-channels make synapses prone to short-term depression, however, Ca²⁺-dependent increases in the number of release-ready vesicles supports facilitation even with broadly distributed vesicle:Ca²⁺-channel distances.

A combination of massively parallel reporter assays and mass spectrometry uncovers the regulation of previously unexplored promoters across the Escherichia coli genome.
