    Consistent patterns of distractor effects during decision making

    Bolton KH Chau, Chun-Kit Law ... Matthew FS Rushworth
    The value of any choice is not static but dynamically changes as a function of the context of the alternatives even if they are seemingly irrelevant.

    Common host variation drives malaria parasite fitness in healthy human red cells

    Emily R Ebel, Frans A Kuypers ... Elizabeth S Egan
    Human red blood cells from healthy donors display marked biophysical and genetic variation that impacts the growth of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites, outside of known disease alleles.

    Separable gain control of ongoing and evoked activity in the visual cortex by serotonergic input

    Zohre Azimi, Ruxandra Barzan ... Dirk Jancke
    Serotonergic input to visual cortex controls ongoing and evoked activity in a separable manner via distinct receptor pathways.

    A transformation from temporal to ensemble coding in a model of piriform cortex

    Merav Stern, Kevin A Bolding ... Kevin M Franks
    A spiking network model that examines the transformation of odor information from olfactory bulb to piriform cortex demonstrates how intrinsic cortical circuitry preserves representations of odor identity across odorant concentrations.

    Pyphe, a python toolbox for assessing microbial growth and cell viability in high-throughput colony screens

    Stephan Kamrad, María Rodríguez-López ... Jürg Bähler
    An open-source python package for phenotype analyses provides a versatile, modular and user-friendly solution to determine complementary fitness-related traits from large-scale assays of microbial colonies.
    1. Neuroscience

    Working memory capacity of crows and monkeys arises from similar neuronal computations

    Lukas Alexander Hahn, Dmitry Balakhonov ... Jonas Rose
    Despite differences in cellular architecture the brains of monkeys and crows produce comparable limits of working memory with comparable mechanisms.

    Neural learning rules for generating flexible predictions and computing the successor representation

    Ching Fang, Dmitriy Aronov ... Emily L Mackevicius
    A recurrent network using a simple, biologically plausible learning rule can learn the successor representation, suggesting that long-horizon predictions are computations that are easily accessible in neural circuits.

    Establishment of H3K9me3-dependent heterochromatin during embryogenesis in Drosophila miranda

    Kevin H-C Wei, Carolus Chan, Doris Bachtrog
    Heterochromatin is established at nucleation sites associated with open chromatin and RNA transcripts and matures into stable domains if they are found near transposable elements targeted by maternally deposited piRNAs.

    Flexible control of representational dynamics in a disinhibition-based model of decision-making

    Bo Shen, Kenway Louie, Paul Glimcher
    Local disinhibition provides a biologically plausible mechanism for flexible top-down control of network states that integrates normalized value coding, winner-take-all choice, and persistent activity in a single circuit of decision-making.

    Normalisation of brain connectivity through compensatory behaviour, despite congenital hand absence

    Avital Hahamy, Stamatios N Sotiropoulos ... Tamar R Makin
    Building on previous work (Makin et al., 2013), we show that the brains of individuals born without a hand adaptively change to compensate for their disability.
