Pose-estimation pipelines struggled to detect vigilance behavior from overhead drone videos.
FERAL identifies vigilance bouts directly from video.

This study aimed to investigate how working memory interacts with perception at the behavioral level. We examined whether working memory modulates subjective perception when the general capacity for perceptual processing is kept constant.

Nature research paper: In situ structural mechanism of epothilone-B-induced CNS axon regeneration

In situ structural mechanism of epothilone-B-induced CNS axon regeneration - Nature
A combined cryo-electron tomography and cryo-electron microscopy pipeline was developed to inflict axonal damage and monitor the cellular response induced by epothilone B, revealing that microtubule polymerization at and beyond the lesion site promote axon regeneration.

yeah, but spare a thought for the editors - why do they not disallow reviews that are obviously not dispassionate? Should undermine reviewer credibility. Given how much for profit publishing is extracting from us all they are failing the main task that arguably adds value to the system

🚀 New from the lab! How do sensory cortices "know" whether they’ll become visual or somatosensory? 🧠 We uncover early modality-identity genes in cortex, some set before thalamic innervation via cell-adhesion codes, others refined by thalamic activity. @glb-lab.bsky.social @neuroalc.bsky.social
