Fungi share genes - In addition to inheritance, species can acquire genes through a process called horizontal gene transfer in which DNA is transferred between separate lineages. In this video abstrac...
Fruit chemistry alters animal behavior. This study shows the role of secondary metabolites in ripe fruits in shaping plant-animal interactions, not only by directly deterring seed predators but also b...
Restoring Reality Monitoring in Schizophrenia - Reality monitoring, the ability to distinguish internally generated information from external experiences, is impaired in schizophrenia patients. In an ...
Human Mutation - Delfien Syx and Fransiska Malfait

Endogenous Nuclear RNAi Mediates Behavioral Adaptation to Odor
Noelle L'Etoile and colleagues describe an endogenous RNAi pathway that acts in neurons via a nuclear Argonaute and a heterochromatin protein to enable odor adaptation in C. elegans....
The non-imaging-forming visual system has important physiological roles, including entrainment of the circadian rhythm, but its development is not well understood. Here, Andrew Lumsden and colleagues ...
In this video, Ira Espuny-Camacho and Pierre Vanderhaeghen describe how human pluripotent stem cells can be turned into cortical pyramidal neurons, mimicking key aspects of human corticogenesis. Most ...
Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of the AMPA Receptor Proteome
Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of the AMPA Receptor Proteome. Native AMPA receptors are macromolecular complexes assembled from a total of more than 30 different constituents that determine architectur...
Potentiation in Motor Learning - Traditionally, long-term depression at the parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse has been considered to be the process underlying cerebellar motor learning. In this ...
Human Mutation - Brianne Kirkpatrick and colleagues
