Retinoic acid breakdown is required for proximodistal positional identity during amphibian limb regeneration

This study shows that retinoic acid breakdown via CYP26B1 determines positional identity during amphibian limb regeneration, with Shox playing a key role in PD skeletal element formation.

Molecular control of temporal integration matches decision-making to motivational state

The paper shows that dopamine signaling modulates the temporal integration of information in Drosophila copulation decision neurons, influencing the likelihood of behavioral switches during mating.

Local desensitization to dopamine devalues recurring behavior

The paper shows that prior matings in Drosophila reduce dopamine reception in Copulation Decision Neurons, leading to decreased likelihood of future copulations.
