    Longitudinal trajectories, correlations and mortality associations of nine biological ages across 20-years follow-up

    Xia Li, Alexander Ploner ... Sara Hägg
    Biological ages have the potential to provide aging-related information beyond chronological age and can be predictive of mortality independently of both chronological age and different types of biological ages.

    Evidence for absence of links between striatal dopamine synthesis capacity and working memory capacity, spontaneous eye-blink rate, and trait impulsivity

    Ruben van den Bosch, Frank H Hezemans ... Roshan Cools
    The absence of generally assumed strong correlations between striatal dopamine synthesis capacity and simple indices of working memory capacity, trait impulsivity, and spontaneous eye-blink rate warrants caution for using these traits as proxy measures to replace direct striatal dopamine assessments.

    A mechanistic insight into sources of error of visual working memory in multiple sclerosis

    Ali Motahharynia, Ahmad Pourmohammadi ... Mehdi Sanayei
    Imprecision in decoding information and swap error, that is, mistakenly reporting a non-target feature, contributes to working memory deficit in the multiple sclerosis population.

    Population clustering of structural brain aging and its association with brain development

    Haojing Duan, Runye Shi ... Jianfeng Feng
    Studies of heterogeneity in healthy brain aging reveal varying susceptibilities to aging and delayed development, which deepen aging-development understanding and promote prediction and diagnosis of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.

    Population receptive fields in nonhuman primates from whole-brain fMRI and large-scale neurophysiology in visual cortex

    P Christiaan Klink, Xing Chen ... Pieter R Roelfsema
    Within-species comparison of population receptive fields determined with fMRI and electrophysiology in nonhuman primates reveals the neuronal basis of blood-oxygen-level-dependent-based retinotopy.

    Affectionate touch and diurnal oxytocin levels: An ecological momentary assessment study

    Ekaterina Schneider, Dora Hopf ... Beate Ditzen
    Affectionate touch in everyday life is linked to lower self-reported burden and is associated with higher endogenous oxytocin levels during times of prolonged stress.

    Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays

    Nicholas K Dulvy, Sarah L Fowler ... William T White
    One-quarter of the Chondrichthyes have an elevated risk of extinction, mainly as a result of overfishing.

    Analysis of stochastic fluctuations in responsiveness is a critical step toward personalized anesthesia

    Andrew R McKinstry-Wu, Andrzej Z Wasilczuk ... Alexander Proekt
    Responses to anesthetics differ among individuals and fluctuate stochastically despite constant drug concentration, however, the amount of noise driving transitions between the responsive and the unresponsive state is conserved.

    Converting endogenous genes of the malaria mosquito into simple non-autonomous gene drives for population replacement

    Astrid Hoermann, Sofia Tapanelli ... Nikolai Windbichler
    Minimal genetic modifications of endogenous mosquito genes allow the tissue-specific expression of anti-malarial effectors and convert them into efficient non-autonomous gene drives.
    1. Neuroscience

    Stimulus-dependent relationships between behavioral choice and sensory neural responses

    Daniel Chicharro, Stefano Panzeri, Ralf M Haefner
    New stimulus-dependencies of choice-related signals in sensory neurons uncovered by new analytical results and methods.
