The diurnal cycle exerts influences on various aspects of plant biology. Here, the authors generate and compare diurnal transcriptomics data from nine members of Archaeplastida representing major clades.

Neuronal networks involving the frontal cortex follow discrete attractor dynamics to maintain short-term memories over times of seconds, much longer than the time-constant of individual neurons.

An unresolved problem in neuroscience is to determine the relevant timescale for understanding spatiotemporal dynamics of the brain. Here, the authors introduce a new framework to study the different timescales through binning the output of a generative model of neural activity.
