Human subjects actively adjust the acquisition of sense data based on how their bodily cycles alter their senses, i.e., sensing tactile stimuli for longer periods when concurrent physiological signals are present vs. sensing for shorter periods when these are quiescent.

In an investigation into the effects of drugs on proteins, an active machine learning algorithm chose which sets of experiments to perform and was able to learn an accurate model of the effects after doing only a fraction of the experiments.

Individual human first-order tactile neurons, those that innervate the mechanoreceptors in the skin, can signal information about edge orientation differences at the limit of what people can feel and across a broad range of speeds relevant for real-world hand use.

Sparse firing in a hippocampus-like structure of the teleost telencephalon is linked to spatial navigation and active sensing.

Global phosphoproteomic analysis in nerve terminal during exocytosis reveals 252 uniquely regulated phosphosites, highlighting complex regulation of active zone proteins at multiple sites and the role of specific kinases/phosphatases.

A cryo-electron microscopy model of the active human apoptosome illuminates how this "wheel of death" binds the protease procaspase-9 to initiate programmed cell death.

Maternally deposited Piwi-piRNA complexes co-transcriptionally repress transposable elements that transiently become active in somatic cells of the developing Drosophila embryo.

Microtubule networks in frog egg extracts can spontaneously contract in a manner that can be quantitatively described by an active fluid model.

Dominant mutations in Arl3, linked to inherited retinal dystrophy, disrupt the active Arl3-GTP ciliary gradient and cause a defect in rod photoreceptor nuclear migration that can be rescued by elevating ciliary Arl3 activity or reducing aberrant non-ciliary Arl3 activity.

Delay-period activity of anterior piriform cortex is important for working memory tasks requiring active maintenance and encodes the maintained information.
