    Push-pull competition between bottom-up and top-down auditory attention to natural soundscapes

    Nicholas Huang, Mounya Elhilali
    Everyday soundscapes dynamically engage attention towards target sounds or salient ambient events, with both attentional forms engaging the same fronto-parietal network but in a push-pull competition for limited neural resources.

    Inference of nonlinear receptive field subunits with spike-triggered clustering

    Nishal P Shah, Nora Brackbill ... EJ Chichilnisky
    Nonlinear receptive field subunits in retinal ganglion cells are isolated and characterized by clustering spike-triggered stimuli, and validated on population responses to naturalistic and novel closed loop stimuli.

    A neural mechanism for contextualizing fragmented inputs during naturalistic vision

    Daniel Kaiser, Jacopo Turini, Radoslaw M Cichy
    In scene-selective occipital cortex and within 200 ms of processing, visual inputs are sorted according to their typical spatial position within a scene.

    Barcoded bulk QTL mapping reveals highly polygenic and epistatic architecture of complex traits in yeast

    Alex N Nguyen Ba, Katherine R Lawrence ... Michael M Desai
    A bulk barcoded quantitative trait locus approach increases the power and resolution of genotype-phenotype mapping in yeast, revealing that the genetic architecture of 18 complex traits is highly polygenic, and is characterized by widespread epistatic interactions and pleiotropic effects.

    How scent and nectar influence floral antagonists and mutualists

    Danny Kessler, Mario Kallenbach ... Ian T Baldwin
    Floral scent and nectar are highly variable in natural populations and both traits can influence outcrossing rates differently for different pollinators and increase future herbivory.

    Receptive field center-surround interactions mediate context-dependent spatial contrast encoding in the retina

    Maxwell H Turner, Gregory W Schwartz, Fred Rieke
    In the retina, the receptive field surround preserves the spatial contrast sensitivity of the center in the face of naturalistic changes in local luminance.

    The shared and unique neural correlates of personal semantic, general semantic, and episodic memory

    Annick FN Tanguay, Daniela J Palombo ... Louis Renoult
    Four types of declarative memory rely on different weightings of similar component processes, according to fMRI and subjective ratings.

    Improving the accuracy of single-trial fMRI response estimates using GLMsingle

    Jacob S Prince, Ian Charest ... Kendrick N Kay
    GLMsingle is a publicly available toolbox for analyzing fMRI time-series data that leverages data-driven optimization techniques to improve the accuracy of single-trial BOLD response estimates.

    Natural changes in light interact with circadian regulation at promoters to control gene expression in cyanobacteria

    Joseph Robert Piechura, Kapil Amarnath, Erin K O'Shea
    Cyanobacteria cope with both predictable day/night changes and natural fluctuations in light during the day by adjusting the expression dynamics of circadian-clock-controlled genes via a network of transcriptional regulators.

    Invariant representation of physical stability in the human brain

    RT Pramod, Michael A Cohen ... Nancy Kanwisher
    Scenario-invariant representation of physical stability is found in the frontoparietal regions but not the ventral visual pathway (and ImageNet-trained convolutional neural networks), consistent with the hypothesis that computations underlying physical stability may entail forward simulations of what will happen next.
