Context-dependent effects of ketamine on emotional evidence integration

This study examines how ketamine affects emotional evidence integration in changing environments, finding it shifts the balance between recent and past information based on volatility.

gcat, its_a_scam: modular tools for single cell data processing and per-cellquality control

The paper introduces gcat and its_a_scam, modular tools for single cell genomic data processing and quality control, showing they produce results comparable to proprietary pipelines.

Physical sensorimotor contingencies facilitate learning in monkeys

This study shows that rhesus monkeys learn maze-solving tasks significantly faster in a physical environment than in a virtual one, with limited performance transfer between the two.

Disulfide Crosslink Density is a Key Determinant in the Formation, Dynamics, and Maturation of Cysteine-rich Designer Biomolecular Condensates.

This study identifies disulfide crosslink density as a critical factor in controlling the formation, fluidity, and maturation of cysteine-rich biomolecular condensates.

NeuroWeave-3D: Uncertainty-Aware Evidence Completion for Brain Tumor Segmentation with Missing MRI Modalities

NeuroWeave-3D improves brain tumor segmentation by handling missing MRI modalities through uncertainty-aware evidence completion and consistency checks.

Large-scale AI-guided discovery of antifreeze peptides reveals functional tandem-repeat architectures

This study uses AI to discover antifreeze peptides, finding that tandem-repeat sequences are functional and effective in inhibiting ice recrystallization.

Calves function as social magnets in a species with high fission-fusion dynamics, the Asian elephant

The study finds that calf presence in Asian elephant groups increases group size and social associations, suggesting calves promote sociality through collective defense and allomaternal care.

A Phenomenological Model of Synaptic Activity in the Blowfly Lamina

The paper develops a phenomenological model to explain vesicle release regularization in blowfly lamina synapses by incorporating physiological parameters and findings from previous studies.

The Segmentome: a novel representation of the DNA methylome identified by a Bayesian HMM framework

The paper introduces the segmentome, a DNA methylome representation using a Bayesian HMM, and shows it can group cell types and identify cell-of-origin in DNA samples.

Competence repression by the SPβ prophage in Bacillus subtilis revealed by transcriptomics across culture conditions

The paper uses transcriptomics to show that SPβ prophage represses competence in Bacillus subtilis under competence-inducing conditions, reducing DNA uptake and evolvability.

An Eyewear-Based EEG Interface for Temporal-Region Monitoring and Emotion Recognition

This paper develops an eyewear-based EEG system for monitoring temporal regions and emotion recognition, showing high sensitivity and performance in emotion classification.

Representation-aware calibration enables statistically reliable protein structure search

Struct-Caliper improves protein structure search reliability by providing accurate p-values, increasing homolog recovery and reducing false discoveries compared to native E-values.

Social ties are maintained through sensory adaptations in green chromides

The paper investigates how visual gene expression changes in green chromides under different light environments and how these changes relate to stable conspecific preferences.

Loneliness as a modulator of intersubject neural alignment across social and nonsocial contexts

This study examines how loneliness affects neural synchrony during social and nonsocial tasks, finding idiosyncratic responses in lonely individuals and greater synchrony in specific brain regions.

Gene expression in Anolis sagrei suggests conservation of patterning mechanisms drives formation of two high acuity areas

The paper identifies conserved gene expression patterns in the retina of Anolis sagrei that suggest shared developmental mechanisms for forming multiple high acuity areas.

Roost: Avian Influenza Host Genomics Resource

Roost compiles avian influenza host genomics data and links species, genes, and mechanisms to evidence, highlighting gaps in research coverage.
