    Focal seizures are organized by feedback between neural activity and ion concentration changes

    Damiano Gentiletti, Marco de Curtis ... Piotr Suffczynski
    Biophysically realistic computational model reveals how inhibitory interneurons initiate paroxysmal discharges and how changes in the ionic concentrations shape electrographic features of human seizures.

    Information flows from hippocampus to auditory cortex during replay of verbal working memory items

    Vasileios Dimakopoulos, Pierre Mégevand ... Johannes Sarnthein
    Precisely tracking the anatomical sources of neural computations infers functional directed connectivity between hippocampal memory neurons and cortical sensory neurons, it reveals information flowing from cortex to hippocampus during encoding but the reverse direction during maintenance.

    Large protein complex interfaces have evolved to promote cotranslational assembly

    Mihaly Badonyi, Joseph A Marsh
    Analysis of protein interfaces suggests cotranslational assembly can be an adaptive process, likely serving to minimise non-specific interactions with other proteins in the cell.

    Modeling osteoporosis to design and optimize pharmacological therapies comprising multiple drug types

    David J Jörg, Doris H Fuertinger ... Peter Kotanko
    A mathematical model of osteoporosis explains why the sequence of osteoporosis medications matters for short-term and long-term treatment success.

    A computational account of why more valuable goals seem to require more effortful actions

    Emmanuelle Bioud, Corentin Tasu, Mathias Pessiglione
    Behavioural evidence and computational analyses suggest that people tend to decline the pursuit of more rewarded goals because they, wrongly, expect them to require more effortful actions.

    Towards a unified model of naive T cell dynamics across the lifespan

    Sanket Rane, Thea Hogan ... Andrew J Yates
    Naive CD4 and CD8 T cells in mice increase their survival capacity with age, but their numbers are not homeostatically regulated.

    Intracerebral mechanisms explaining the impact of incidental feedback on mood state and risky choice

    Romane Cecchi, Fabien Vinckier ... Julien Bastin
    Invasive electrophysiological recordings from the human brain reveal that different mood levels translate into different brain states that predispose subjects to make risky or safe decisions.
