Confirming coevolutionary theory, monarch butterfly caterpillars show impaired growth and toxin sequestration when feeding on realistic cardenolide mixtures from their milkweed host plants.
The human posterior inferotemporal cortex integrates endogenous and exogenous influences to form a unified attentional priority map for adaptive visual control.

Fear updating relies on a flexible shift from generalized to item-specific, context-bound neural representations, revealing how the brain adapts to changing threat contingencies and why fear can return.
In statistical fine-mapping, signals stable across stratified subgroups can capture functionally important loci missed by covariate adjustment approaches, and prioritizing agreement between both approaches enhances functional variant discovery.
Self-related information automatically modulates early attentional selection into awareness through mechanisms distinct from physical salience, revealing an obligatory, individualized self-prioritization at the gateway to perception.

Beta and gamma inhibitory rhythms are preferentially tuned to govern synaptic integration in layer 5 pyramidal neurons by differentially modulating responses to inputs targeting distal dendritic and perisomatic compartments.
Evidence is provided suggesting that aggregate neural activity at an early stage of visual processing (V1) can directly contribute to perceptual decisions in humans.
Compared with human-specific transcriptional factors, human-specific lncRNAs identified upon human lncRNAs’ orthologs in mammals have greatly evolved DNA-binding sites in archaic and modern humans in genes determining human traits.
Single-cell transcriptomics data from mouse bone-relevant cells was used to inform human bone mineral density genome-wide association studies and prioritize genetic targets with potential causal roles in the development of osteoporosis.
