A text-mining study suggests that about half of the papers reporting the results of experiments on mice do not report the sex and age of the mice.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing and germline substitutions provide novel insights into how testis is a hotspot for evolutionary innovation of genes, expression, and mutation at the single-cell level.

Perceptual decision making, even in simple scenarios, is affected by sensory and decisional choice biases.

Protein coding genes strongly support a sister group relationship between Placozoa and Cnidaria to the exclusion of Bilateria, contradicting previous phylogenies, which have likely been misled by pervasive compositional heterogeneity.

Modulation of moment-to-moment irregularity of neural activity closely tracks our ability to flexibly adapt decision biases to the environment.

Decision-makers are able to intentionally control neural excitability to strategically bias sensory evidence accumulation towards the decision bound that maximizes reward within a given ecological context.

Active and repressive chromatin marks, asymmetrically distributed between alleles, distinguish gene bodies subject to epigenetically controlled monoallelic expression on autosomes in human cells.

Rapid increases in the brain’s level of alertness, or arousal, contribute to variability in decision making by reducing existing biases.

Motivational coupling of action to reward and inhibition to punishment is subserved by dissociable learning and choice processes, and is modulated by dopamine/noradrenaline transporter blockade.

DeBias is a generic method to decompose and quantify the confounding, global factors and direct interactions of pairwise interacting variables.
