    Uncovering circuit mechanisms of current sinks and sources with biophysical simulations of primary visual cortex

    Atle E Rimehaug, Alexander J Stasik ... Anton Arkhipov
    A biophysically detailed model of mouse primary visual cortex reproduces, in a quantitative manner, experimentally recorded spikes and local field potentials, and suggests mechanisms that form current sinks and sources in vivo.

    The functional form of value normalization in human reinforcement learning

    Sophie Bavard, Stefano Palminteri
    Challenging a popular theory in neuroeconomics, a computational cognitive study provides evidence against divisive normalization, a supposedly canonical neural computation, in favor of an alternative account, range normalization, in the context of value learning.

    Determining growth rates from bright-field images of budding cells through identifying overlaps

    Julian MJ Pietsch, Alán F Muñoz ... Peter S Swain
    The BABY algorithm by estimating growth rates of individual cells from time-lapse microscopy images will help characterise the diversity in populations of budding cells, particularly differences in fitness.

    Short-range interactions between fibrocytes and CD8+ T cells in COPD bronchial inflammatory response

    Edmée Eyraud, Elise Maurat ... Isabelle Dupin
    Intercellular interactions between fibrocytes and CD8+ T lymphocytes promote inflammation through a pathophysiological positive feedback loop in bronchi of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

    How enhancers regulate wavelike gene expression patterns

    Christine Mau, Heike Rudolf ... Ezzat El-Sherif
    An experimental and computational system has been developed to investigate how wavelike gene expression patterns are generated during embryonic development.

    Population dynamics of immunological synapse formation induced by bispecific T cell engagers predict clinical pharmacodynamics and treatment resistance

    Can Liu, Jiawei Zhou ... Yanguang Cao
    Modeling the dynamics of immunological synapses informs pharmacodynamics and treatment resistance to bispecific T cell engagers.

    Structure of the HIV immature lattice allows for essential lattice remodeling within budded virions

    Sikao Guo, Ipsita Saha ... Margaret E Johnson
    Proteins locked into the immature HIV lattice can exploit its incomplete structure to form the essential protease dimer needed for viral maturation.

    Contrasting action and posture coding with hierarchical deep neural network models of proprioception

    Kai J Sandbrink, Pranav Mamidanna ... Alexander Mathis
    To isolate and study proprioception, hierarchical deep neural networks paired with biomechanical models provide a normative approach to test the role of task effects on neural representations, such as the emergence of kinematic tuning and higher-level abstractions of actions.

    Integrating analog and digital modes of gene expression at Arabidopsis FLC

    Rea L Antoniou-Kourounioti, Anis Meschichi ... Martin Howard
    The regulation of gene expression can be either binary (on/off digital regulation) or graded (analog regulation) and these fundamentally different regulatory modes can be integrated to control the expression of the same gene.
