Childhood obesity remains a pressing global health challenge, yet the impact of dynamic adiposity changes during active developmental window retains poorly understood. Leveraging longitudinal data ...

This important study shows that neural responses to visual input during active vision are more closely aligned with self-generated eye movements than with fixation onset. The evidence for neural ...

Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) can modulate activity in deep brain regions non-invasively, yet its effects remain variable and incompletely understood. Because sonication deposits mechanical ...

This study presents valuable findings regarding the role of the P2X7 receptor in retinoic acid signaling-mediated retinal remodeling following photoreceptor degeneration. However, the evidence ...

Brain organoids, also known as brain spheroids, are three-dimensional cultures of neural cells derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) that mimic the brain’s organization, development, and activity ...

Detailed, single-cell spatial gene expression across multiple gastruloids highlights macro-scale organizational consistency, simultaneous with variance in meso-scale patterning.

Science is better when we publish according to our values! Most publishing models act as a barrier, rather than a medium, between authors and audiences; eLife feels like the opposite.

We are pleased to announce the introduction of the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) for author contributions at eLife. The average number of authors per paper in scientific and medical publishing ...

The autobiographical memory deficits seen in aphantasia are reflected by altered activation and connectivity patterns of the hippocampus and occipital cortex, corroborating the strong link between ...

Both oxytocin (OT) and touch are key mediators of social attachment. In rodents, tactile stimulation elicits the endogenous release of OT, potentially facilitating attachment and other forms of ...

Crystal structures of γ-protocadherin cell-cell recognition dimers reveal the determinants of clustered protocadherin homophilic specificity and cis interaction region structures alongside mutagenesis ...

Many everyday life decisions require allocating finite resources, such as attention or time, to examine multiple available options, like choosing a food supplier online. In cases like these, resources ...
