Authors Koert E, Götz J, Albrecht N, Vavakou A, Wolf BJ, Moser T Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2026.05.16.724905 Abstract When hearing fails, stimulation of the auditory nerve by electrical cochlear implants (eCIs) partially restores hearing, with most eCI users achieving open speech understanding. However, the broad current spread from each

Authors Gallea JI, Karedla N, Wang D, Zhao B, Chen L, Enderlein J, Chen T Journal Science Advances Citation Sci Adv. 2026 May 15;12(20):eaed9613. Abstract The dynamic behavior of cellular membranes underpins essential biological processes, including signal transduction, intracellular trafficking, and mechanotransduction. However, simultaneously quantifying lateral molecular diffusion and vertical

Abstract Sixty years after the concept of population coding in neuronal networks was introduced, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of its performance limits and the role of neuronal physiology. Here, we

Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant transcriptional modification in eukaryotic RNA, regulating RNA fate. While the functions of m6A

Authors Navarro-Flores A, Krüger DM, Kaurani L, Fischer A, Schulze TG, Heilbronner U Journal Molecular Psychiatry Citation Mol Psychiatry. 2026 May 1. Abstract Executive functions (EFs) are meta-cognitive abilities that orchestrate goal-directed behavior (i.e., set-shifting, working memory, and inhibitory control). Despite their strong genetic composition, the development of EFs is
