    A quantitative modelling approach to zebrafish pigment pattern formation

    Jennifer P Owen, Robert N Kelsh, Christian A Yates
    A mathematical modelling approach to understanding zebrafish stripe pattern formation exemplifies a biological rule-set sufficient to generate wild-type and a diverse range of mutant patterns.

    Cell-type diversity and regionalized gene expression in the planarian intestine

    David J Forsthoefel, Nicholas I Cejda ... Phillip A Newmark
    Application of laser-capture microdissection to planarian intestinal tissue provides a new tool for analysis of tissue-specific gene expression in flatworms, and a new resource to advance investigations of gastrointestinal regeneration.

    Optimal policy for attention-modulated decisions explains human fixation behavior

    Anthony I Jang, Ravi Sharma, Jan Drugowitsch
    A normative decision-making model that incorporates an information-limiting attention bottleneck is able to qualitatively replicate human behavior and make novel predictions that are verified in data.

    High-throughput mathematical analysis identifies Turing networks for patterning with equally diffusing signals

    Luciano Marcon, Xavier Diego ... Patrick Müller
    Realistic reaction-diffusion signaling networks that include cell-autonomous factors can robustly form self-organizing spatial patterns for any combination of diffusion coefficients without requiring differential diffusivity.

    Place-cell capacity and volatility with grid-like inputs

    Man Yi Yim, Lorenzo A Sadun ... Thibaud Taillefumier
    A very large number of place-field maps can be robustly learned by association of external cues with the grid-driven response, however plasticity in the grid-cell inputs renders the place-cell responses volatile.

    IFNγ induces epigenetic programming of human T-bethi B cells and promotes TLR7/8 and IL-21 induced differentiation

    Esther Zumaquero, Sara L Stone ... Frances E Lund
    IFNγ increases the responsiveness of human B cells to IL-2, TLR7/8 and IL-21 signals and therefore enhances antibody production in inflammatory settings associated with autoimmune or chronic disease.

    A unified internal model theory to resolve the paradox of active versus passive self-motion sensation

    Jean Laurens, Dora E Angelaki
    Central vestibular regions in the brainstem and cerebellum perform dynamic Bayesian inference to combine motor commands and sensory signals into an optimal estimate of self-motion.

    DMRT1 is a testis-determining gene in rabbits and is also essential for female fertility

    Emilie Dujardin, Marjolaine André ... Maëlle Pannetier
    The absence of DMRT1 induces a male-to-female sex reversal in XY rabbits and complete infertility in both sexes.
