A type i interferon signature identifies bilateral striatal necrosis due to mutations in ADAR1
Background: We recently observed mutations in ADAR1 to cause a phenotype of bilateral striatal necrosis (BSN) in a child with the type I interferonopathy Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS). We therefore decided to screen patients with apparently non-syndromic BSN for ADAR1 mutations, and for an upregulation of interferon...

Fetal origin of sensorimotor behavior
The aim of this article is to track the fetal origin of infants’ sensorimotor behavior. We consider development as the self-organizing emergence of complex forms from spontaneously generated activity, governed by the innate capacity to detect and memorize the consequences of spontaneous activity (contingencies), and co...

Local Maps Of Potential Energy Surfaces And Chemical Pathways
Potential energy surfaces are a central tool to rationalize, in a multidimensional system, how distortions along defined degrees of freedom link conformation and structural modifications to energy. The local and global mimima define stable conformations and the ground state. Crossings between the ground- and electronic...

Structural Basis for a Reciprocal Regulation between SCF and CSN
Skp1-Cul1-Fbox (SCF) E3 ligases are activated by ligation to the ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8, which is reversed by the deneddylating Cop9 signalosome (CSN). However, CSN also promotes SCF substrate turnover through unknown mechanisms. Through biochemical and electron microscopy analyses, we determined molecular models...

Age-Specific Incidence of Influenza A Responds to Change in Virus Subtype Dominance
Abstract When H3N2 replaced H1N1 as the dominant influenza A subtype during the 2018–2019 season, the pattern of age-specific incidence shifted due to the lingering effects of antigenic imprinting. The characteristic shape that imprinting leaves on influenza susceptibility could foster important advances in understandi...

T<inf>FH</inf>-derived dopamine accelerates productive synapses in germinal centres
Protective high-affinity antibody responses depend on competitive selection of B cells carrying somatically mutated B-cell receptors by follicular helper T (TFH) cells in germinal centres. The rapid T-B-cell interactions that occur during this process are reminiscent of neural synaptic transmission pathways. Here we sh...

Dragon kings of the deep sea: Marine particles deviate markedly from the common number-size spectrum
Particles are the major vector for the transfer of carbon from the upper ocean to the deep sea. However, little is known about their abundance, composition and role at depths greater than 2000 m. We present the first number-size spectrum of bathy- and abyssopelagic particles to a depth of 5500 m based on surveys perfo...

Accounting For Room Acoustics In Audio Visual Multi Speaker Tracking
Multiple-speaker tracking is a crucial task for many applications. In real-world scenarios, exploiting the complementarity between auditory and visual data enables to track people outside the visual field of view. However, practical methods must be robust to changes in acoustic conditions, e. g. reverberation. We inve...

Spiking neural models of auditory perception
In classical connectionism, the information is conveyed by the firing rate of neurons. Spiking neuron models offer an additional dimension to the rate: synchrony. Synchronous spike trains are more effective than uncorrelated ones in driving the responses of target neurons. Because neurons can encode their inputs in a s...

The pupil constricts in response to light increments and dilates with light decrements. Here we show that a picture of the sun, introducing a small overall decrease in light level across the field of view, results in a pupillary constriction.
