    A geometric shape regularity effect in the human brain

    Mathias Sablé-Meyer, Lucas Benjamin ... Stanislas Dehaene
    fMRI and MEG results in adults and children show encoding of abstract geometric regularities in dorsal-parietal, temporal, and frontal regions, pointing to a system for symbolic geometric representation in humans.

    Affinity-guided labeling reveals P2X7 nanoscale membrane redistribution during BV2 microglial activation

    Benoit Arnould, Adeline Martz ... Thomas Grutter
    An affinity-guided chemical strategy enabling highly specific biotinylation of P2X7 receptors reveals, by super-resolution microscopy, how the nanoscale organization of endogenous P2X7 in BV2 microglial cells dynamically changes upon activation.

    Two classes of amine/glutamate multi-transmitter neurons innervate Drosophila internal male reproductive organs

    Marta Chaverra, John Paul Toney ... R Steven Stowers
    Drosophila internal male reproductive organs exhibit parallel innervation by two types of multi-transmitter neurons, a subset of which are essential for fertility, and organ-specific spatially discrete neurotransmitter receptor expression.
