The animal phylogeny of glutamate receptors indicates that vertebrate types do not account for all receptor classes originated during evolution, neither are they the pinnacle of a linear evolutive process.

Three complementary computational approaches reveal a set of putative causes of initiation of pan-USA waves of influenza.

Well-controlled psychological experiments show that there is little overlap in how humans and convolutional networks classify adversarial images, highlighting the problem of using CNNs as models of human vision.

The parallels between Bayesian synapses and energy-efficient synapses are highlighted.

Dominant mutations in Arl3, linked to inherited retinal dystrophy, disrupt the active Arl3-GTP ciliary gradient and cause a defect in rod photoreceptor nuclear migration that can be rescued by elevating ciliary Arl3 activity or reducing aberrant non-ciliary Arl3 activity.

Newly forming descending pathways are arranged to function in parallel to existing ones and contribute to increasingly sophisticated locomotor behaviors that emerge postnatally with suitable connectivity patterns and biophysical properties.

A novel bilinear modeling approach reveals genetic code of neuronal connectivity, offering insights for targeted genetic interventions in neural circuits.

Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, a conserved vertebrate brain region important for sensorimotor integration, receive sensory and motor information from distinct input streams and are functionally clustered into modules reflecting the larval zebrafish's behavioral repertoire.

A mathematical model of neurotransmitter release predicts that a mutual stabilization of calcium and membrane phospholipids binding to synaptotagmin proteins allows several synaptotagmins to work together for fast synaptic transmission.
