This useful study demonstrates that microsaccade direction primarily indexes shifts rather than the maintenance of covert spatial attention, offering a focused interpretation that may help reconcile ...

Songbird HVC sequences arise from a balance of ionic currents and structured inhibition, providing a mechanistic framework for understanding cortical sequence generation.

We highlight recent developments in eLife’s equity, diversity and inclusion framework and what steps we plan to take next ...

This study presents a large, systematically curated catalog of non-canonical open reading frames (ncORFs) in human and mouse by reanalyzing nearly 400 Ribo-seq datasets using a standardized pipeline; ...

A new method for tracking the activity of individual neurons day after day in the growing brain has revealed a key developmental transition in neuronal activity.

A normative computational model of individual differences in mouse exploration driven by reward and threat uncertainty as well as risk sensitivity when faced with a novel object in an open field.

Step selection functions are a useful tool for analysing fine-scale human movements to understand environmental interactions in the context of infectious disease epidemiology.

This manuscript makes a valuable contribution to the concept of fragility of meta-analyses via the so-called 'ellipse of insignificance for meta-analyses' (EOIMETA). The strength of evidence is solid, ...

The enteric bacterial Shigella secretes a virulence factor that degrades the pivotal human defense protein RNF213, thereby protecting cytosolic bacteria from interferon-driven ubiquitylation and ...

Expectation optimizes perception through center-surround inhibition, enhancing expected representations while suppressing similar, irrelevant ones.

eLife reviews research in which approaches from the physical sciences are used to provide insights into the properties of biological systems and processes. Learn more about what we review and sign up ...

The performance of skilled behaviors requires a balance between consistency and adaptability. Although the neural mechanisms that regulate this balance have been extensively studied at systems and ...
