    Trading mental effort for confidence in the metacognitive control of value-based decision-making

    Douglas G Lee, Jean Daunizeau
    Intra-individual variability in choice, response time, subjective effort, confidence, and choice-induced preference change and certainty gain is explained by a cost–benefit model of cognitive resource allocation.

    DeepPoseKit, a software toolkit for fast and robust animal pose estimation using deep learning

    Jacob M Graving, Daniel Chae ... Iain D Couzin
    A new deep-learning software toolkit with general-purpose methods for quickly and reliably measuring the full body posture of animals directly from images or videos without physical markers.

    Approaching boiling point stability of an alcohol dehydrogenase through computationally-guided enzyme engineering

    Friso S Aalbers, Maximilian JLJ Fürst ... Marco W Fraaije
    By combining structure-based computational predictions and a thorough structural analysis, a highly thermostable enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase, has been engineered.

    Common host variation drives malaria parasite fitness in healthy human red cells

    Emily R Ebel, Frans A Kuypers ... Elizabeth S Egan
    Human red blood cells from healthy donors display marked biophysical and genetic variation that impacts the growth of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites, outside of known disease alleles.

    Quantitative modeling of the effect of antigen dosage on B-cell affinity distributions in maturating germinal centers

    Marco Molari, Klaus Eyer ... Rémi Monasson
    Detailed and inferred model reproduces B-cell affinity distributions measured in mice immunized according to various protocols and explains non-monotonous effects of antigen dosage on maturation.

    Protective effect of Mediterranean-type glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency against Plasmodium vivax malaria

    Ghulam R Awab, Fahima Aaram ... Nicholas J White
    The Mediterranean variant of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency confers a strong gene-dose proportional protective effect against symptomatic Plasmodium vivax malaria in the Pashtun ethnic group.

    A neural network model of when to retrieve and encode episodic memories

    Qihong Lu, Uri Hasson, Kenneth A Norman
    A neural network showed better prediction of upcoming states when it was selective in when it encoded and retrieved episodic memories, thereby explaining why humans show this selectivity in studies of naturalistic memory.

    Parallel functional testing identifies enhancers active in early postnatal mouse brain

    Jason T Lambert, Linda Su-Feher ... Alex S Nord
    Methods for screening hundreds of DNA sequences for enhancer activity have been extended for use in vivo, uncovering novel enhancer elements active in the early postnatal brain.

    Trio-based whole exome sequencing in patients with suspected sporadic inborn errors of immunity: A retrospective cohort study

    Anne Hebert, Annet Simons ... Caspar I van der Made
    Systematic assessment of de novo variants in patients with sporadic inborn errors of immunity led to the identification of promising candidate variants in known and novel immune genes, supporting its implementation in the routine diagnostic evaluation of these patients.

    Asynchrony between virus diversity and antibody selection limits influenza virus evolution

    Dylan H Morris, Velislava N Petrova ... Colin A Russell
    Despite the virus' error prone polymerase, influenza virus antigenic evolution is rare, even in previously immune hosts, virus replication occurs before producing new antibodies.
