All of life is social

germ–soma differentiation as a model for the molecular biology of development. Certain slime mold genotypes get into the germline tissue more frequently than other neighboring genotypes in the aggregation [5]. An aggregation with a higher frequency of those that bias their reproductive success leads to shorter stalks and lower total reproductive output: competition for reproduction opposes the ...

All Asleep—But Inhibition Is Wide Awake

Depending on the arousal state, neuronal networks display discrete activity patterns that profoundly affect information processing in the brain. In this issue of Neuron, Kurotani et al. report bidirectional modification of inhibition by oscillatory patterns in the neocortex; a mechanism likely to control the impact of these neurons in a state-dependent fashion.
