    1. Neuroscience

    Transsaccadic working memory in healthy ageing and neurodegenerative disease

    Sijia Zhao, Thomas Parr ... Masud Husain
    Saccades selectively disrupt spatial but not colour memory, and while transsaccadic updating remains resilient to ageing and neurodegeneration, individual drawing deficits arise from impaired initial encoding and memory decay.
    1. Neuroscience

    Size tuning of neural response variability in laminar circuits of macaque primary visual cortex

    Lauri Nurminen, Maryam Bijanzadeh, Alessandra Angelucci
    The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting multiple circuits and mechanisms as the source of variability.

    Synthetic gene circuits that selectively target RAS-driven cancers

    Gabriel Valentin Senn, Leon Nissen, Yaakov Benenson
    Design and integration of various biomolecular sensors for over-activated rat sarcoma (RAS) created synthetic gene circuits that distinguish mutant versus wild-type signaling and express a therapeutic protein to kill RAS-driven cancer cells.

    Non-visual light modulates behavioral memory and gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Zhijian Ji, Bingying Wang ... Dengke K Ma
    Visible light engages a non-visual, bZIP-dependent transcriptional pathway in peripheral tissues that communicates with the nervous system to shape behavioral plasticity and memory, enabling optogenetic-like gene control without photoreceptors.
