Cell crowding causes high-grade breast cancer cells to become more invasive by activating a molecular switch that causes the cells to shrink and spread.

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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.

However, the evidence supporting some of the conclusions remains incomplete, and further mechanistic studies are needed to clarify how miR-283 affects normal aging and influences exercise adaptations.

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.

The study investigates an emerging research field: the interaction between sleep and development. The authors use Drosophila larvae sleep as a study model and provide valuable insight into how ...

We highlight recent developments in eLife’s equity, diversity and inclusion framework and what steps we will be taking next.

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 ...

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 ...
