Have Niche, Will Travel. New Means of Linking Diet and Ecomorphology Reveals Niche Conservatism in Freshwater Cottoid Fishes
Synopsis. Evolutionary transitions between habitats have been catalysts for some of the most stunning examples of adaptive diversification, with novel niches a
Preexisting hippocampal network dynamics constrain optogenetically induced place fields
Neuronal circuits face a fundamental tension between maintaining existing structure and changing to accommodate new information. Memory models often emphasize the need to encode novel patterns of neural activity imposed by 'bottom-up' sensory drive....

Zebrafish dorsal habenula is required for updating learned behaviors
Operant conditioning requires multiple cognitive processes, such as learning, consolidation, prediction of potential outcomes and decision making. It is less clear how interactions of these processes led to behavioral adaptations that allows animal...

Class title: Peer Review in the Life Sciences Goal: As scientists, one of our primary responsibilities to our colleagues, to our community, and to the public is communication of our research findings. By far, the most widely accepted means of...
SPARC: a method to genetically manipulate precise proportions of cells
Many experimental approaches rely on controlling gene expression in select subsets of cells within an individual animal. However, reproducibly targeting transgene expression to specific fractions of a genetically-defined cell-type is challenging. We...
Computational Neuroethology: A Call to Action
The brain is worthy of study because it is in charge of behavior. A flurry of recent technical advances in measuring and quantifying naturalistic beha…
Characterization of Parkinson’s disease using blood-based biomarkers: A multicohort proteomic analysis
Alice Chen-Plotkin and colleagues investigate possible biomarkers for diagnosis and progression of Parkinson’s disease.

Principles and Applications of Fluorescence Microscopy
The use of fluorescence microscopy (wide field, confocal, multiphoton, and now superresolution) in combination with genetically encoded fluorescence probes comprise a powerful set of scientific tools to study live cells. However, surprising little...
Non-invasive multiphoton imaging of neural structure and activity in Drosophila
A limitation of current methods for examining neural activity over long periods of time in the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is the need to remove the head cuticle and the underlying tissue to gain optical access to the brain, a process that damages...
The Need to Balance Guides Development of Limb–Body Coordination
NYU School of Medicine researchers gain insights into the development of coordination by studying zebrafish larvae as they learned to swim. Learn more.
Adobe cancels all user accounts in Venezuela to comply with Trump order
Adobe interprets Trump order broadly, claims it can't provide refunds.
