Yellow fever, a potentially deadly viral hemorrhagic fever, causes up to 82,000 deaths annually worldwide, and mass vaccination activities have reduced the burden by 47% in Africa.

Primate hand preference strength but not direction (left vs. right) generally reflects phylogeny and ecology at species level, but human handedness deviates markedly from all other species.

Interferon contributes to photosensitivity at least in part by causing Langerhans cell ADAM17 dysfunction, raising the possibility that anifrolumab ameliorates lupus skin disease in part by restoring Langerhans cell function.

Humans spontaneously reverse learned associations while macaque monkeys do not, providing a minimal test of a distinctive human capacity for symbolic representations.

Connectivity fingerprint matching bridges the gap between mouse and primate neuroanatomy, addressing crucial questions surrounding brain evolution that likely impact translation across species.

The FDA-approved compound and plant extract tannic acid is a non-toxic chemical tool for modulating sumoylation in multiple platforms.

Evolution-guided functional analyses identify an activating adaptor of the dynein intracellular transportation machinery, NINL, as a novel component of the antiviral immune response and reveal a mechanism by which viruses antagonize NINL function in a species-specific manner.

The dynamical solutions exhibited by task-optimized recurrent neural networks, and their similarity to prefrontal cortex dynamics, depends strongly on the strength of neural noise and metabolic cost imposed during training.

A combination of physiological and perceptual experiments show that the responses of rod photoreceptors inhibit those of cones more than vice versa, and reveal both the site of the retinal interaction and the underlying mechanism.

An area of visual-motor cortex called the lateral intraparietal area encodes eye position signals that support visually-guided behaviors and image stabilization.
