Odour motion sensing enhances navigation of complex plumes
Odour motion contains valuable directional information that is absent from the airflow alone, and Drosophila use this directional information to shape their navigational decisions.

Cortical preparatory activity indexes learned motor memories
In rhesus monkeys, learning of a motor task is accompanied by uniform changes in preparatory activity in motor cortex that are orthogonal to the force-predictive neural state subspace.

Observation of universal ageing dynamics in antibiotic persistence
Characterizations of bacteria under acute stress reveal features that can be predicted using a conceptual model of physical ageing.

Shared mechanisms underlie the control of working memory and attention
The prefrontal cortex in monkeys controls working memory in a similar way to attention, by selectively transforming the representations of remembered items.

Cortical pattern generation during dexterous movement is input-driven
The complex patterns of activity in motor cortex that control movements such as reach and grasp are dependent on both upstream neuronal activity in the thalamus and the current state of the cortex.

Internal state dynamics shape brainwide activity and foraging behaviour
During foraging for live prey, zebrafish larvae alternate between persistent exploitation and exploration behavioural states that correlate with distinct patterns of neuronal activation.

Discrete attractor dynamics underlies persistent activity in the frontal cortex
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.

A global resource allocation strategy governs growth transition kinetics of Escherichia coli
A new approach to modelling bacterial growth removes the need to know kinetic parameters for metabolic and regulatory processes and can be used to model adaptive processes such as antibiotic responses and ecological dynamics.

Dynamic sensory cues shape song structure in Drosophila
Drosophila male courtship songs were thought to have a fixed structure with song repetition variations introduced unintentionally because of neural noise; this behavioural assay and computational modelling study instead reveals that males use fast changes in sensory information to actively pattern individual song sequences.
