    Hugin-AstA circuitry is a novel central energy sensor that directly regulates sweet sensation in Drosophila and mouse

    Wusa Qin, Tingting Song ... Rui Huang
    A conserved neuropeptidergic circuit directly links internal glucose levels to sweet taste sensitivity, providing a central mechanism for coupling metabolic state to feeding behavior.

    Auditory perception and neural representation of temporal features are altered by age but not by cochlear synaptopathy

    Friederike Steenken, Rainer Beutelmann ... Georg M Klump
    In aging gerbils, compromised temporal fine structure perception is explained by a more prominent representation in auditory nerve fibers of temporal fluctuations of the signal envelope, rather than by synaptopathy.

    Human adherent cortical organoids in a multi-well format

    Mark van der Kroeg, Sakshi Bansal ... Femke MS de Vrij
    Human stem cell-derived adherent cortical organoids in 384-well plates provide a reproducible, long-term cortical organoid platform with neurons, glia, and robust network activity, enabling scalable disease modeling and therapeutic screening.

    Investments in photoreceptors compete with investments in optics to determine eye design

    Francisco JH Heras, Simon B Laughlin
    Allocating space, materials and energy to an eye's optics and photoreceptor array is a major factor in eye design that explains obvious differences between simple eyes and compound eyes.
