A new machine learning method makes it possible to efficiently identify the parameters of cognitive models using Bayesian inference, even when only model simulations are available.

An atomic model of the bacterial chemosensory array obtained through the synthesis of cryo-electron tomography and large-scale molecular-dynamics simulations reveals a new kinase conformation during signaling events.
Single-cell tracking and cell-fate simulation suggest that low levels of p53 suppress aneuploid cell formation in unstressed cells and also reveal the dual fate of cells lacking p53 in the presence of p53-proficient cells.

Delivering specific patterns of electrical activity to the median nerve of the arm triggers reliable sensations of texture, suggesting that it may ultimately be possible to restore complex tactile information to users of prosthetic limbs.
Novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying neurotransmitter release are provided by all-atom molecular dynamics simulations including SNARE proteins, synaptotagmin-1, complexin-1, a vesicle and a flat bilayer.

Molecular simulations, small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering experiments and previously measured NMR experiments were combined to study the structure and dynamics of the proteins and lipids in a nanodisc.

Self-association of speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP), a substrate adaptor in the ubiquitin proteasome system, is studied by combining small-angle X-ray scattering and molecular dynamics simulations to reveal the structure of the protein assemblies in solution.
Direct in-vivo measurements in the human brain test validity of detailed computational models of trancranial electric stimulation and show that electric fields in the brain are weaker than currently assumed.

Rats with absence epilepsy exhibit hindered and restricted sensory processing during ongoing seizures, as demonstrated by functional magnetic resonance imaging and mean-field simulation studies.
