摘要:Proficiency testing is widely used to assess expertise in medicine, engineering, and other high-stakes fields. In forensic science, such tests are often cited in court as evidence that pattern-comparison methods are accurate and reliable. Yet, the scientific value of proficiency testing depends on test design, scoring rules, and the extent to which results support valid inferences about real-world performance. A recent proficiency test of forensic firearm identification-the comparison of bulle...

摘要:Although fear conditioning has elucidated cue-evoked acute fear responses, the mechanisms by which stress experiences induce generalized internal states linked to anxiety or phobia are poorly understood. Here, we report that robust stress induces a persistent behavioral change characterized by avoidance of a confined space, claustrophobia-like behavior (CLB) in Drosophila. Unlike aversive memory formation, the development of CLB does not require dopamine receptors. Our neuronal screening deter...

摘要:Orexin neurons regulate physiological functions, such as energy homeostasis, wakefulness, and motivated behaviors. However, studies linking orexin neuron activity to behavior via selectively activating/inactivating these inputs in a temporally controlled manner in rats are scarce. Here, we examined the role that orexin neurons play in motivated behavior in transgenic rats using cell type-specific fiber photometry and optogenetic manipulation. Using chemogenetics, we found that motivation for a...

摘要:Lysosomes maintain cellular homeostasis by degrading proteins delivered via endocytosis and autophagy and by recycling building blocks for organelle biogenesis. Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) comprise a group of diseases affecting diverse lysosomal functions. To facilitate molecular phenotyping across diverse LSD gene classes, we are developing a library of human embryonic stem cells engineered to lack individual LSD genes as a resource for the field. Here, we report our initial stem cell ...

摘要:Mitochondrial damage is a shared hallmark of brain aging and neurodegeneration. While pathological Tau mutations disrupt mitochondrial dynamics and function, the physiological role of wild-type (WT) Tau in the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis remains poorly understood. Here, using Caenorhabditis elegans and mice lacking PTL-1, the nematode Tau-like homolog, and Tau respectively, we demonstrate that Tau deficiency promotes a shift toward a pro-fusion mitochondrial state associated with ...

摘要:The microtubule-associated protein tau is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, but its physiological roles remain poorly understood. Here, we find that panneuronal expression of human tau (HsTau) in Drosophila coupled with injury triggers elevated aggression in male flies, which was not observed in flies expressing nonphosphorylatable tau. These behavioral manifestations result from activation of dopaminergic circuits without neurodegeneration. Using in vitro reconstitution assays, we fin...

摘要:Warming global temperatures are driving species to shift beyond their historical geographic ranges into novel, expanded ranges, where they may have both positive and negative effects on recipient populations. Although no framework currently exists to anticipate these effects, invasion biology theory suggests expanders' effects may be predictable from expanders' historical roles and trophic positions. We conducted a global synthesis of over 1,200 population-level effects of marine range-expandi...

摘要:Understanding the reasons behind human choices under risk is a central goal of decision scientists, but traditional methods relying on behavioral data are limited by strict invariance assumptions. We introduce a scalable analytical framework using large language models (LLMs) to analyze verbal reports and identify articulated reasons for choice between monetary lotteries. A validated LLM accurately identified predefined decision reasons in participants' free-text reports, aligning with their a...
