Patterns of neural activity called theta oscillations have a role in memory encoding but – contrary to current thinking – do not appear to have a role in memory retrieval.

Adolescents value reciprocity less than adults, limiting cooperation despite intact learning about others’ behavior.

Findings provide a first step in understanding the motivations behind cooperation in adolescents and adults, paving the way for future research to explore these behaviours in real-world situations.

This mutation prevented VPS34 complex I binding to Rab1 but, surprisingly, it strengthened the interaction between VPS34 complex II and Rab5. The researchers carried out a series of experiments to ...

Human neurons derived from stem cells show increased structural complexity and stronger synaptic connections after exposure to psilocin, the active metabolite of the psychedelic psilocybin.

Norio Takeshita explores the microbiology of Japan’s national fungus and how it reflects centuries of human cultivation.

Horne et al. used a technique called cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structure of the efflux pumps. This typically involves producing the proteins in large quantity, extracting them from the ...

A fully automated 3D tracking framework reveals that sex and familiarity strongly shape natural social gaze dynamics in freely interacting marmosets.

Strategic avoidance of uncertainty emerges under high cognitive demands, enabling faster decisions without impairing learning.

HIM-5 emerges as a central scaffold that coordinates SPO-11 accessory complexes to control different aspects of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks, ensuring robust crossover formation on autosomes and ...

TIRF imaging of CRISPR-edited human cells shows dynein–dynactin complexes move processively with motility parameters consistent with the presence of multi-dynein assemblies (>one dynein heavy chain ...

The use of liquid-infused catheters results in significant reduction of bladder and catheter colonization, systemic dissemination, and bladder inflammation in a clinically relevant mouse model of ...
