Cascades of transient pairwise interactions, stabilized by multisensory inputs, drive the formation of a well-organized social structure from a group of loosely distributed flies.

Wild baboons are an excellent model to study complex evolutionary processes such as speciation and hybridization, as well as the links between sociality, longevity and reproductive success.

Pleasant touch perception in humans is unaffected by spinothalamic disruption indicating integrated spinal processing of hedonic and discriminative tactile inputs rather than privileged C-tactile-lamina I-spinothalamic projections.

The human brain is capable of implementing inverse reinforcement learning, where an observer infers the hidden reward structure of a decision problem solely through observing another individual take actions.

Single neurons in human posterior parietal cortex encode actual and imagined touch within a shared neural substrate.

Sensory enrichment creates a more columnar, less salt-and-pepper whisker map in somatosensory cortex, showing that impoverished experience contributes to intermixed tuning in rodent sensory maps.

Touch-sensitive neurons are patterned during mammalian skin development by placode-derived keratinocytes and Bone Morphogenetic Protein signaling.

Large-scale electrocorticography and big data analysis of brain-wide neuronal interactions reveal the architecture of network information flow for context processing in primate brain.

Differences in patterns of social contact between settings have consequences for the spread and transmission of respiratory pathogens and the effectiveness of different measures aimed at their control.

A description of evolution that is based on birth-death processes, and in which fitness is at most a derived quantity, is advocated.
