Different locations of neurotransmitter release sites in axon-bearing and anaxonic olfactory bulb dopaminergic neurons allow self-inhibition only in anaxonic cells, showing how polarity differences create separate functional roles in sensory processing.

A genomic analysis shows that the evolution of genome size and gene content among fungal pathogens in the class Sordariomycetes varies depending on their interactions with hosts and vectors.

Postural adjustments that reduce ankle leverage in kangaroos enhance tendon stress and elastic energy storage at higher speeds, providing energetic efficiency during hopping but potentially constraining the maximum size achievable by large species.
The retrieval-extinction paradigm elicits a short-term fear amnesia that differs in cue specificity, timescale, and dependence on thought-control ability from the long-term amnesia believed to be associated with memory reconsolidation.

Functional analyses showcase that in the absence of IL-27, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are more likely to become monocytes during toxoplasmosis, making them less responsive after infection.
Analyzing population-level chromatin accessibility data shows added benefit over utilizing only gene expression data in elucidating the genetic mechanism of disease-associated variants.

A novel viral tool (FLEN) is designed, and used to monitor changes in the intrinsic and synaptic properties of engram cells quickly (3–6 hours) following encoding of a memory.

Patients with stroke often show impairment in both moving and holding the arm, deficits that are dissociable experimentally, suggesting that moving and holding are controlled by separate neural mechanisms.
