Autocatalytic growth of a microtubule polymer network allows extremely large egg cells to self-organize and divide rapidly.

Structural and functional investigations identify a structural unit for ephaptic coupling in the heart, and provide the mechanistic basis for a novel strategy for the treatment of arrhythmias.

Learning to reach in the sensorimotor loop, and the required neural dynamics, can be potentially explained by simple principles.

The structure of the mechanosensitive channel MscS embedded in a lipid bilayer redefines the nature, location and importance of lipid–protein interactions in the gating of mechanosensitive channels.

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

Fitting a mechanistic model to data from SARS-CoV-2 source-recipient pairs generates improved estimates of changes in infectiousness during infection, indicating substantial transmission shortly before symptom onset.

Cortices from 11 primate species share the same archetypal fractal shape, indicating a universal mechanism for primate and mammalian cortical folding, and suggesting novel shape biomarkers for brains.

Six- to twelve-month old infants, who have little linguistic or object experience, classify objects by relying on a invariant representation of global shape known as the shape skeleton.

Neurons can be tracked in mice implanted with Neuropixels 2.0 probes for up to 8 weeks using visual receptive fields to score tracking in the absence of reference data.

Analyses combining genomic and epidemiological data of Mycobacterium bovis, which causes bovine tuberculosis, revealed evidence of transmission within and between cattle and badger populations.
