Hormonal manipulation, laser microdissection, and bulk RNA sequencing indicate that Z chromosome dosage in the brain region HVC during development regulates the subsequent sexually dimorphic transcriptional specialization of zebra finch song nuclei.
Exposure to a real-life adversity, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced the optimism bias typically observed in belief updating about future life events, shifting behavior toward more rational, Bayesian-like learning.

Neuroimaging evidence enhances understanding of the subcortex’s role in the neural mechanisms of working memory updating, providing new insights into midbrain function.
Studying a decision in archerfish reveals an impressive potential of learning capacities and cognitive aspects that are unexpected for decisions made at reflex speed.
Reversible cerebellar disruption in non-human primates reveals an acute muscle torque deficit and an adaptive slowing strategy to manage limb dynamics, underscoring distinct primary, and compensatory mechanisms underlying motor impairment.
