    Measurement of average decoding rates of the 61 sense codons in vivo

    Justin Gardin, Rukhsana Yeasmin ... Bruce Futcher
    The translation rates of each yeast codon have been measured in both the A and P sites of the ribosome.

    Drosophila mechanical nociceptors preferentially sense localized poking

    Zhen Liu, Meng-Hua Wu ... Xin Liang
    A fly larval mechanical nociceptor develops dedicated neuronal mechanisms to support its sensory preference in detecting localized poking forces, and this sensory feature well supports the physiological function of the nociceptor in sensing the physical attack of its natural enemy.

    Two single-point mutations shift the ligand selectivity of a pheromone receptor between two closely related moth species

    Ke Yang, Ling-Qiao Huang ... Chen-Zhu Wang
    Differing from its ortholog in Helicoverpa armigera, pheromone receptor HassOr14b is tuned to the major sex pheromone component in H. assulta, and two amino acids in the intracellular domain determine their ligand selectivity.

    Place-cell capacity and volatility with grid-like inputs

    Man Yi Yim, Lorenzo A Sadun ... Thibaud Taillefumier
    A very large number of place-field maps can be robustly learned by association of external cues with the grid-driven response, however plasticity in the grid-cell inputs renders the place-cell responses volatile.

    Sense of coherence and risk of breast cancer

    Kejia Hu, Mikael Eriksson ... Fang Fang
    There is little evidence for an association between sense of coherence and risk of breast cancer.

    High-speed motility originates from cooperatively pushing and pulling flagella bundles in bilophotrichous bacteria

    Klaas Bente, Sarah Mohammadinejad ... Damien Faivre
    Bacteria reach swimming speeds of several hundred body lengths per second and change direction in less than 5 ms by using coordinated flagella bundle agitation.

    Genome-wide identification of lineage and locus specific variation associated with pneumococcal carriage duration

    John A Lees, Nicholas J Croucher ... Stephen D Bentley
    Sequence changes in the pneumococcal genome explain most of the variability in duration of asymptomatic carriage with serotype, antibiotic resistance and prophage accounting for the largest effects.

    Perception as a closed-loop convergence process

    Ehud Ahissar, Eldad Assa
    Perception is proposed to be a dynamic motor-sensory closed-loop process in which information flows through the environment and the brain in continuous loops, converging towards steady-state percepts.

    Vein fate determined by flow-based but time-delayed integration of network architecture

    Sophie Marbach, Noah Ziethen ... Karen Alim
    Relative hydraulic resistance, shear rate, and pressure in a vascular network integrate the network's architecture via fluid flow, and determine vein dynamics, with a time delay, in the prototypical organism Physarum polycephalum.

    The number of olfactory stimuli that humans can discriminate is still unknown

    Richard C Gerkin, Jason B Castro
    The recent claim that humans can discriminate more than one trillion odors is shown to be unwarranted.
