Chitons overcome evolutionary constraints through unprecedented genomic dynamism, with extensive chromosomal rearrangements and duplications despite about 300 million years of morphological stasis.

The human brain is thought to constantly predict future words during language processing. Recently, a new approach to investigating linguistic predictions emerged which aims to capture predictive ...

Understanding and reasoning about the physical world rely on a specific brain network, in which the area PF of the left inferior parietal lobe plays a central role.

Orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus reinstate representations of causal choices to associate with delayed outcomes, and the frontal pole supports this credit assignment process by maintaining pending ...

This valuable investigation provides new and solid evidence for a specific cognitive deficit in cerebellar degeneration patients. The authors use three tasks that modulate complexity and error ...

Future prosocial acts can be forecasted from stable biological differences in how people perceive others' merit, pointing to novel strategies to reduce favoritism and discrimination in social ...

This important work presents a stochastic branching process model of tumour-immune coevolution, incorporating stochastic antigenic mutation accumulation and escape within the cancer cell population.

This valuable study shows that locomotion-related modulations in the mouse visual cortex are not uniform but primarily affect neurons in muscarinic receptor-negative patches, which receive projections ...

Mice lacking two neuropeptides thought to be essential for processing pain show no change in how they respond to a wide range of harmful stimuli.

Deciphering the gut biome's, including helminths', influence on human trained immunity will unlock novel immunotherapies harnessing the immune reprogramming potential of their secreted factors and ...

In this important study, the authors use computational modeling to explore how rapid learning can be reconciled with the accumulation of stable memories in the olfactory bulb, where adult neurogenesis ...

This valuable study combines real-time keypoint tracking with transdermal activation of sensory neurons to investigate sensory neuron recruitment in freely moving mice, and builds on the authors' ...
