A new computational approach for detecting sleep waveforms reveals that the 11–15 Hz sleep 'spindle', a neural rhythm implicated in memory consolidation, co-occurs widely across cortex much more often than previously thought.

A novel high-throughput FPGA-based multi-animal tracking and training system was used to demonstrate trace and operant conditioning in Drosophila larvae.

A new multi camera imaging platform simultaneously captures large-area, high-resolution video of unconstrained small model organisms and provides behavioral measurements that span multiple spatial scales.

Models of cortico-cerebellar connectivity are quantified using task-based fMRI, and demonstrate that convergent rather than sparse inputs best characterize cortico-cerebellar connectivity, namely, cerebellar areas linked to cognition receive the highest convergence of cortical inputs.

The coactivity of cortical neurons in associative learning recruits them as associative memory cells based on their synapse interconnections by neuroligin-3-mediated synapse formation, which endorses the first order and the second order of associative memory.

Divisive normalisation effects on decision making caused by distractor options can be reduced by stimulating the parietal cortex using transcranial magnetic stimulation.

The primer extension and 5' flap processing activities of DNA polymerase I are physically coordinated by combined movements of the DNA substrate and the 5' nuclease domain of the enzyme.

A statistical model rescues multi-mapping reads with high accuracy and demonstrates their impact in all facets of the analysis of genome-wide high throughput conformation capture datasets.

Genome dilution limits cell growth by modulating the activities, rather than the concentrations, of RNA polymerases and ribosomes, and is accompanied by changes in proteome composition.

The use of multi-chemokine receptor reporter mice helps to unravel the dynamics of receptor involvement in leukocyte migration in vivo and suggests specificity, rather than redundancy, in receptor use.
