Many vertebrates are able to synthesize a sunscreen compound de novo and the pathway involved can be used for heterologous production of the compound in yeast.
In this episode we hear about echolocation, bacteriophages, babies and pain, a neural code for food abundance, and how zebrafish can make their own sunscreen.

Human behaviour in a continuous decision making task adapts to the overall statistics of the sensory environment, and these adaptations are also reflected in changes in neural responses to incoming sensory evidence.

Mnemonic mechanisms of differentiation and integration within the medial temporal lobe occur concurrently during the learning of local and global environmental knowledge.
Visual input to prefrontal cortex preferentially targets neurons with both sensory and motor properties, and the synaptic efficacy of these inputs is facilitated by working memory.
fMRI evidence for off-task replay predicts subsequent replanning behavior in humans, suggesting that learning from simulated experience during replay helps update past policies in reinforcement learning.
