Open-BEATBox enables continuous, autonomous assessment of complex mouse behavior, generating more trials and reducing experimenter workload without adverse effects.

This paper introduces [18F]GPR39 2.1, a PET radiotracer for noninvasive imaging of GPR39, showing high specificity and sensitivity in vivo.

This study shows that older adults exhibit enhanced implicit motor adaptation only with consistent errors, not variable ones, suggesting error consistency is key for age-related adaptation.

This study shows that wild frass enhances BSFL growth on rabbit manure by introducing lignocellulose-degrading microbes, which are lost in captive-reared frass.

This study uses AAV vectors to target specific neuronal populations and shows that JNK inhibition has distinct anxiolytic effects depending on the targeted cells.

This paper develops a conductive hydrogel that reduces glial and vascular damage in traumatic brain injury models.

This study shows that gene clusters for magnetite formation in bacteria confer resistance to hydrogen peroxide, supporting an early origin of magnetotactic bacteria before Earth's oxygenation.

The paper shows neurons entrain an intrinsic arteriole rhythm, shaping blood distribution and vascular responses through frequency-dependent mechanisms.

This study shows that depriving mice of fermentable dietary fiber leads to low-grade neuroinflammation and anxiety-like behavior, which are reversed by fiber supplementation.

The paper develops a framework for analyzing invasion in structured populations using analytical and numerical methods to determine invasion success across different ecological scenarios.

This study shows that past adaptation to systemic infection affects the speed and mechanism of adaptation to oral infection in Drosophila, with sex-specific outcomes and trade-offs.

The paper investigates how neural circuits in the primate frontal cortex support compositional generalization by separating computations into spatial and temporal components and identifying biases when these components are misaligned.

The paper investigates whether traveling waves in attention networks reflect top-down attention signals or are a byproduct of sustained attention, finding they align with the intrinsic rhythms of engaged sensory systems.

This study identifies prenatal adversity and neonatal brain connectivity as predictors of infant sensory over-responsivity, which links to later behavioral problems.

This study shows Escherichia coli has an intrinsic timekeeping system that anticipates daily temperature cycles through rhythmic curli plaque formation.

The paper identifies CD90 as a marker distinguishing two muscle stem cell subpopulations with different activation kinetics and quiescence maintenance mechanisms in mice and humans.

This study shows that diet affects tooth damage and microwear in Senegal bichir, providing a framework for inferring diet in extinct fish species.

This study identifies podoplanin's role in maintaining epidermal organisation and coordinating stem cell and dermal responses during inflammatory skin remodelling.

This study shows that TLR7 in lung epithelial cells drives RSV and influenza replication and disease, but not HPIV3, and links TLR7 expression to sex differences in viral disease.

The paper shows that basal ganglia output in zebrafish destabilizes neural activity states to guide decision-making in a Go/No-go task.

This study shows that removing maternal compensation in zebrafish reveals retinal-specific roles for Pomgnt1, with retinal abnormalities appearing early and behavioral changes observed.

The paper identifies distinct septal GABAergic pathways regulated by PV+ and CB+ neurons, showing they differentially support spatial memory and network activity.

The paper identifies germ granule-like amyloid/RNA condensates in rat epididymal spermatozoa that exhibit prion-like propagation activity, suggesting a non-Mendelian mechanism for transmitting environmental information to offspring.

This study shows that implicit recalibration becomes flexible after prolonged training on novel sensorimotor mappings, allowing context-specific adaptation.

This study shows that cGAS integrates TLR signaling in platelets to drive thromboinflammation by sensing mitochondrial DNA.

This study examines how nutrient enrichment and water scarcity interact to affect floral traits and pollinator visitation in grassland species, showing species-specific responses and shifts in pollination dynamics.

The paper investigates how different decision-making strategies in mice affect cortical activity and identifies frontal cortex involvement in engaged strategies.
