The authors' demonstration that impaired olfactory perception reduces caterpillar performance and increases susceptibility to parasitism is solid. These findings highlight the ecological significance ...

V2 exhibits interdigitated columnar organizations for color and disparity that involved feedforward and feedback processing, while the texture selectivity is primarily driven by feedback modulations ...

Untangling the functional organisation of a brain region crucial for memory and learning helps reveal how individual differences are linked to variations in recall ability, aging and dopamine receptor ...

This important study provides solid evidence that glucosylceramide synthase (GlcT), a rate-limiting enzyme for glycosphingolipid (GSL) production, plays a role in the differentiation of intestinal ...

Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA plays a crucial role in tissue-specific gene regulation, with disease implications due to splicing defects. Predicting and manipulating AS can therefore uncover ...

The mPFC→NAc and mPFC→BLA neurons demonstrated distinct activity patterns across various emotional states. (A) Schematic showing retrograde AAV-GCaMP6 injection in the NAc and BLA, respectively. In ...

The ovary is one of the most complex tissues in the body. This complexity arises from two key aspects: first, as an endocrine organ, the ovary is regulated by both intrinsic secreting factors (Yang et ...

A new study provides the first detailed map of how sensory and motor circuits interact in the zebra finch brain, offering insights into how songbirds learn and refine their songs.

We spoke with Mark Boothby, Professor of Immunology at Vanderbilt University, about his experience publishing with eLife.

Using an unbiased approach, this important study discovered a role of Ezh2 in the differentiation of granule neuron precursors, the cell of origin for Shh group of medulloblastoma. Furthermore, the ...

They also show that models learned from nonsynonymous mutations and from out-of-frame sequences are different, prompting new questions about germinal center function. Strengths of the study include an ...

Microglia are brain-resident macrophages playing pivotal roles in CNS development and homeostasis. Yet, the cellular and molecular basis governing microglia maintenance ...
