    A striatal circuit balances learned fear in the presence and absence of sensory cues

    Michael Kintscher, Olexiy Kochubey, Ralf Schneggenburger
    Direct- and indirect pathway neurons of the posterior striatum display divergent in vivo and ex vivo plasticity after fear learning, and differentially modulate defensive behaviors displayed in the presence, and absence of threat-predicting sensory cues.

    Human pancreatic cancer cell exosomes, but not human normal cell exosomes, act as an initiator in cell transformation

    Karoliina Stefanius, Kelly Servage ... Kim Orth
    Exosomes secreted from pancreatic cancer cells can function as a classic initiator in the multi-step cellular transformation process.

    Distinct hierarchical alterations of intrinsic neural timescales account for different manifestations of psychosis

    Kenneth Wengler, Andrew T Goldberg ... Guillermo Horga
    fMRI evidence for distinct hierarchical alterations in intrinsic neural timescales for different positive symptoms of schizophrenia support hierarchical perceptual-inference models of psychosis and suggest local increases in excitation-inhibition ratio.

    Host and viral determinants of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the Syrian hamster

    Julia R Port, Dylan H Morris ... Vincent J Munster
    An experimental animal model provides further insights into the host and viral mechanisms underlying airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

    Formation of polarity convergences underlying shoot outgrowths

    Katie Abley, Susanna Sauret-Güeto ... Enrico Coen
    Models that generate tandem alignments of cell polarities are more readily compatible with the formation of PIN1 polarity patterns in plant leaf buds than the most widely accepted “up-the-gradient” model.

    Topological signatures in regulatory network enable phenotypic heterogeneity in small cell lung cancer

    Lakshya Chauhan, Uday Ram ... Mohit Kumar Jolly
    Network topology and gene expression patterns in small cell lung cancer reveal two mutually opposing teams of regulators that enable multistability and consequent non-genetic heterogeneity, a clinically unsolved challenge.

    Caenorhabditis elegans PIEZO channel coordinates multiple reproductive tissues to govern ovulation

    Xiaofei Bai, Jeff Bouffard ... Andy Golden
    Depletion of the mechanosensitive ion channel PEZO-1 in C. elegans disrupts the sheath and spermathecae cells to disrupt oocyte ovulation, resulting in crushed oocytes.

    Curvature-processing domains in primate V4

    Rendong Tang, Qianling Song ... Haidong D Lu
    Curvature-preferring neurons in monkey V4 cluster into 0.5-mm patches, which highlights the importance of curvature detection in visual object recognition and the key functional role of V4 in this process.

    High-throughput, single-particle tracking reveals nested membrane domains that dictate KRasG12D diffusion and trafficking

    Yerim Lee, Carey Phelps ... Xiaolin Nan
    The nanoscopic landscape of the membrane has a direct impact on the spatiotemporal, and likely also the signaling, dynamics of Ras proteins.

    Geometry and dynamics of representations in a precisely balanced memory network related to olfactory cortex

    Claire Meissner-Bernard, Friedemann Zenke, Rainer W Friedrich
    Computational modeling revealed that balanced assemblies of excitatory and inhibitory neurons shape representational manifolds in olfactory cortex-like recurrent networks, resulting in joint maps of sensory and semantic information.
