A combination of experimental and theoretical analysis identifies body size-dependent energy storage as the physiological cause of 3/4-power law scaling of the metabolic rate in planarians.

Complex, multi-scale natural behaviors may arise from subpopulations of neurons in cerebral cortex operating near the tipping point of a phase transition, that is, near criticality.

The lower-level retinotopic visual cortex of humans born without the optic chiasm comprises two independent neuronal populations and forms a versatile model for quantifying the relationship between the fMRI BOLD signal and neural response.

The rapid development of immune memory in infancy shapes the composition of T cell defenses throughout the human lifespan.

Hybrid brain network models predict neurophysiological processes that link structural and functional empirical data across scales and modalities in order to better understand neural information processing and its relation to brain function.

Receptive fields for time in the hippocampus, like receptive fields for retinal space and receptive fields for numerosity, obey the Weber-Fechner law.

The size of a subcellular structure, yeast actin cables, scales with the linear dimensions of the cell, which is achieved by feedback control of their growth rate.

A computational method and genome-wide scan of low-coverage single-cell sequencing data from a large sample of human sperm suggests balanced transmission of alleles to the gamete pool.

A high-throughput enhancer-enhancer-promoter reporter assay indicates that pairs of enhancers generally activate promoters in a near-additive manner, and that promoters transform their collective effect non-linearly.

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.
