The Drosophila microbiome regulates the cycling of gut metabolites in a circadian clock and diet-dependent manner.

Two lateral striatal subregions integrate the acquisition of stimulus-based decision-making in spatiotemporally and functionally different manners, challenging the prior model through a dominance ...

This important study introduces a Bayesian method to determine bacterial counts that accounts for the experimental noise inherent to dilution and plating methods, and distinguishes it from biological ...

Bioluminescent imaging is helping researchers better understand the effectiveness of tissue regeneration enhancers delivered to injured heart tissue by different adeno-associated virus vectors.

This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

Parasitic tapeworm larvae release glutamate and other excitatory molecules that can directly excite brain neurons.

The mRNA metabolism passively shapes the levels of an mRNA modification called m6A within a steady-state cell and upon stress.

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...
