Metabolism Artificial sweetener link to vascular diseaseL. Bryan RayAspartame is a widely consumed artificial sweetener. Unfortunately, such sweeteners are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Wu et al. explored how aspartame affected atherosclerosis in a mouse model lacking ApoE, a protein that functions in lipid metabolism. Consumption of aspartame made atherosclerotic symptoms worse.

Neuroscience Multisensory memoriesPeter SternIn everyday life, we easily form speech memories during casual conversations. Remembering what someone said and how they said it requires the brain to form an integrated multisensory representation of speech. Theta oscillations in the neocortex and the hippocampus are important for episodic memory formation. Biau et al.

Water Storage Poles on the moveJesse SmithThe Kariba dam on the Zambezi River has created the world’s largest artificial lake. PHOTO: IMPALA PHOTO/ISTOCK PHOTOHuman activities have been conducted at such immense scales that they literally have affected how the world turns. Valencic et al. discuss one dimension of that impact: movement of the poles due to water impoundment.

Neuroscience You see what you expectPeter SternFeedback from higher-level visual processing centers in the brain influences the early stages of object recognition. PHOTO: EYEEM MOBILE GMBH/ISTOCK PHOTOVisual recognition is thought to start with basic object features in the primary visual cortex, reaching the level of object representation at higher cortical areas after processing. However, there is increasing evidence for top-down influences in these pathways. Altavini et al.

Topological Optics Viewing topology in higher dimensionsIan S. OsborneArtistic depiction of a four-dimensional regular lattice that forms a quasicrystalline pattern with fivefold symmetry when projected in two dimensions. The symmetry and topology of physical systems are closely related to the symmetries governing the topological properties. Quasicrystals are ordered systems but have no translation or rotational symmetries.
