    Dynamic readout of the Hh gradient in the Drosophila wing disc reveals pattern-specific tradeoffs between robustness and precision

    Rosalío Reyes, Arthur D Lander, Marcos Nahmad
    Theoretical and experimental evidence that Hh signaling dynamics balances robust positioning and sharpness of different target genes in the Drosophila wing disc.

    Estradiol elicits distinct firing patterns in arcuate nucleus kisspeptin neurons of females through altering ion channel conductances

    Jian Qiu, Margaritis Voliotis ... Martin J Kelly
    Kiss1ARH neurons transition from synchronous to burst firing under preovulatory levels of E2, causing a shift from peptidergic to glutamatergic transmission that drives the GnRH surge through enhanced glutamate neurotransmission.

    Lipid discovery enabled by sequence statistics and machine learning

    Priya M Christensen, Jonathan Martin ... Kelli L Palmer
    A previously unknown lipid modification by a bacterial antibiotic resistance enzyme was identified through the analysis of a family of antibiotic resistance enzyme sequences with a machine learning approach.

    Decoding contextual influences on auditory perception from primary auditory cortex

    Bernhard Englitz, Sahar Akram ... Shihab Shamma
    The perception of ambiguous steps in relative tone height is predicted by direction-selective cells in the auditory cortex, rather than the brain's represented distance between the tone heights.

    Modeled grid cells aligned by a flexible attractor

    Sabrina Benas, Ximena Fernandez, Emilio Kropff
    Continuous attractor networks can constrain population activity to manifolds with topology radically different from that of the network architecture.

    Emergence of planar cell polarity from the interplay of local interactions and global gradients

    Divyoj Singh, Sriram Ramaswamy ... Mohd Suhail Rizvi
    A minimal mathematical model can explain the emergence of planar cell polarity in epithelial tissues using only three free parameters, namely the rate of protein binding to cell membrane, the intracellular protein concentration, and the steepness of tissue-level gradients.

    Basolateral amygdala oscillations enable fear learning in a biophysical model

    Anna Cattani, Don B Arnold ... Nancy Kopell
    Computational modeling suggests that the BLA is capable of producing the recorded LFP rhythms via interactions of interneuron subtypes, and that those rhythms may be necessary for associative learning.

    An antimicrobial drug recommender system using MALDI-TOF MS and dual-branch neural networks

    Gaetan De Waele, Gerben Menschaert, Willem Waegeman
    It is possible to accurately recommend antimicrobial drugs from mass spectra using neural networks and large datasets, paving the way for more efficient clinical diagnostics.

    Functional characteristics and computational model of abundant hyperactive loci in the human genome

    Sanjarbek Hudaiberdiev, Ivan Ovcharenko
    Large-scale multi-omics analysis of genomic high-occupancy target regions in humans suggests involvement of large transcriptional condensates.
