    Nonlinearities between inhibition and T-type calcium channel activity bidirectionally regulate thalamic oscillations

    Adam C Lu, Christine Kyuyoung Lee ... Mark P Beenhakker
    A multi-scale integration of experimental and computational approaches shows how a non-linear dependence of T-type calcium channel gating on GABAB receptor activity regulates thalamic network oscillations.

    New insights on the modeling of the molecular mechanisms underlying neural maps alignment in the midbrain

    Elise Laura Savier, James Dunbar ... Michael Reber
    A dominant sensory map provides positional information through correlated activity and transposed molecular cues to guide secondary sensory projections for alignment and organization.

    Modelling the emergence of whisker barrels

    Sebastian S James, Leah A Krubitzer, Stuart P Wilson
    Whisker barrels provide clues about neocortical development, as computer modelling shows that barrels can self-organize, based on competition between adjacent thalamocortical axons, suggesting that genetic instruction plays a secondary role.

    Spectral clustering of risk score trajectories stratifies sepsis patients by clinical outcome and interventions received

    Ran Liu, Joseph L Greenstein ... Raimond L Winslow
    Spectral clustering applied to risk trajectories of sepsis patients discovered four distinct clusters stratified by risk of septic shock, mortality, and treatments received prior to an abrupt physiological transition.

    Tuning movement for sensing in an uncertain world

    Chen Chen, Todd D Murphey, Malcolm A MacIver
    Animals work in a world full of surprises, where using energy to position sensors proportional to the location's expected information avoids the pitfalls of positioning them at the information maxima.

    Inherent regulatory asymmetry emanating from network architecture in a prevalent autoregulatory motif

    Md Zulfikar Ali, Vinuselvi Parisutham ... Robert C Brewster
    Network architecture and physiological features of the cell dictate asymmetric gene regulation between a negative autoregulatory TF gene and its target gene.

    Genetic mapping of etiologic brain cell types for obesity

    Pascal N Timshel, Jonatan J Thompson, Tune H Pers
    Unbiased computational integration of single-cell- and human genetics data shows that susceptibility to obesity is driven by a broad set of neuronal populations across the brain.

    Removing unwanted variation with CytofRUV to integrate multiple CyTOF datasets

    Marie Trussart, Charis E Teh ... Terence P Speed
    CytofRUV is a computational algorithm that effectively enables batch effect reduction in multiple CyTOF batches with an adaptable normalisation method and an R-Shiny application with diagnostics plots.

    Cell-cycle-gated feedback control mediates desensitization to interferon stimulation

    Anusorn Mudla, Yanfei Jiang ... Nan Hao
    Cell cycle gating enables a temporal compartmentalization of negative vs positive feedback control processes, leading to differential responses to repetitive interferon stimulations.

    Coverage-dependent bias creates the appearance of binary splicing in single cells

    Carlos F Buen Abad Najar, Nir Yosef, Liana F Lareau
    Sequencing and counting RNAs from single cells can create a misleading picture of alternative splicing if too many mRNAs are lost in the process.
