The fly connectome reveals a path to the effectome

Analysis of the whole-brain fly connectome reveals high-dimensional dynamics supported by many small independent circuits, motivating a proposal for optogenetic perturbation to efficiently learn a whole-brain causal neural dynamics model.

Bulk high-temperature superconductivity in pressurized tetragonal La 2 PrNi 2 O 7

Bulk high-temperature superconductivity observed in pressurized tetragonal La 2 PrNi 2 O 7 was testified by detecting clear diamagnetic signals below about 75 K with appreciable superconducting shielding volume fractions at a pressure of above 15 GPa.

Network statistics of the whole-brain connectome of Drosophila

The network of the fly brain is highly recurrent and displays rich-club organization, with a large population (30%) of preferentially connected neurons.

Neuronal wiring diagram of an adult brain

FlyWire presents a neuronal wiring diagram of the whole fly brain with annotations for cell types, classes, nerves, hemilineages and predicted neurotransmitters, with data products and an open ecosystem to facilitate exploration and browsing.

Rapid homologue juxtaposition during meiotic chromosome pairing

Homologue juxtaposition during meiosis is examined in real time by imaging of tagged chromosomal loci at high resolution in budding yeast, showing that corresponding loci come together and complete pairing in a very short time.

Flickering gamma-ray flashes, the missing link between gamma glows and TGFs

Flickering gamma-ray flashes associated with terrestrial thunderstorms have been observed, which may be the missing link between gamma-ray glows and TGFs.

Differences in misinformation sharing can lead to politically asymmetric sanctions

We find that conservatives tend to share more low-quality news through social media than liberals, and so even if technology companies enact politically neutral anti-misinformation policies, political asymmetries in enforcement should be expected.

A Drosophila computational brain model reveals sensorimotor processing

We create a computational model of the adult Drosophila brain that accurately describes circuit responses upon activation of different gustatory and mechanosensory subtypes and generates experimentally testable hypotheses to describe complete sensorimotor transformations.

Signature of the western boundary currents in local climate variability

Analyses based on high-spatial-resolution data demonstrate that sea surface temperature variability in the western boundary currents has a more robust signature in local climate variability than previously indicated.

Mortality caused by tropical cyclones in the United States

A large-scale evaluation of the long-term effects of tropical cyclones on human mortality in the contiguous United States estimates that the average tropical cyclone results in 7,000–11,000 excess deaths, far exceeding previous estimates.

Whole-brain annotation and multi-connectome cell typing of Drosophila

RNA m 5 C oxidation by TET2 regulates chromatin state and leukaemogenesis

Chromatin-associated retrotransposon RNA 5-methylcytosine can be recognized by the methyl-CpG-binding-domain protein MBD6, which guides deubiquitination of nearby monoubiquitinated Lys119 of histone H2A to promote an open chromatin state in TET2-deficient cells.

Tuft cells act as regenerative stem cells in the human intestine

Four distinct tuft cell states are identified by combining analysis of primary human intestinal resection material and organoids, and studying tuft cell development shows that they represent a damage-induced reserve intestinal stem cell pool in humans.

Highly dynamic gamma-ray emissions are common in tropical thunderclouds

Tropical thunderclouds over ocean and coastal regions are shown to emit gamma rays for several hours over areas of up to a few thousand square kilometres, contradicting the quasi-stationary picture of glows.

Neuronal parts list and wiring diagram for a visual system

An analysis of the Drosophila connectome yields all cell types intrinsic to the optic lobe, and their rules of connectivity.

Connectomic reconstruction predicts visual features used for navigation

Electron-microscopy data are used to reconstruct the neurons that make up the anterior visual pathway in the Drosophila brain, providing insight into how visual features are encoded to guide navigation.

LYCHOS is a human hybrid of a plant-like PIN transporter and a GPCR

Cryo-electron microscopy structures of the human lysosomal transmembrane protein LYCHOS show that it comprises a transporter-like domain fused to a G-protein-coupled receptor, and that the transporter domain is similar to the plant PIN family.

Calcium-permeable AMPA receptors govern PV neuron feature selectivity

Calcium-permeable AMPA receptors are identified to have a role in maintaining low feature selectivity in a specific population of inhibitory interneurons, and this function is conserved across ferrets, rodents, marmosets and humans.

Predicting visual function by interpreting a neuronal wiring diagram

A study demonstrates the interpretation of a neuronal wiring diagram of the optic lobe of Drosophila , yielding theoretical predictions about visual functions of this structure.
