Social conditions shape male parenting in mice, with isolation increasing care and group living boosting infanticide. This variation is linked to activity in a brain region where the Agouti gene reduces care, showing context, not ability, drives paternal behavior.
The brain's dural sinuses are active, not passive, veins. They dynamically regulate blood flow, fluid exchange, and immune cell surveillance, which is crucial for antiviral defense.
The brain uses complex mRNA translation regulation. A new method, Ribo-STAMP, created the first isoform-sensitive, single-cell translatomes of the mouse hippocampus. It revealed thousands of cell-type-specific translated transcripts and differential translation states in neurons, advancing understanding of brain function and disease.
Scientists used sound cues during sleep via Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) to influence dreams, boosting next-day puzzle-solving. This raises potential concerns about dream advertising.
