Imagine trying to navigate an unfamiliar city but you've lost your smartphone. You don't have a map. And the street signs are in a foreign language. This is how neuroscientists feel about studying the brain. Billions of neurons in the human brain make trillions of connections with each other, forming an intricate maze of roads (neural pathways) that make us who we are. A neural pathway is a series of connected neurons that send signals from one part of the brain to another.

Convergent Evolution Same spots, different lotsCorinne SimontiOpen in viewerConvergent evolution is exemplified by two species presenting the same phenotype despite having different evolutionary trajectories. Van Belleghem et al. examined two pairs of butterfly species that overlap geographically and present nearly identical wing patterning to assess the conservation of gene expression and regulation.

LATEST NEWS Probing physiological controlUnderstanding how metabolic state influences cellular processes requires systematic analysis of low-affinity interactions of metabolites with proteins. Hicks et al. describe a method called MIDAS (mass spectrometry integrated with equilibrium dialysis for the discovery of allostery systematically), which allowed them to probe such interactions for 33 enzymes of human carbohydrate metabolism and more than 400 metabolites.
