The evolution of the Na$^+$/K$^+$-ATPase in ancestral methanogenic archaea also lay the foundation for the energetics of energy-intensive signaling tissues like the metazoan nervous systems billions of years later [1]. The electrogenic property of this pump, which leads to activity-dependent feedback [2], seems a…

The function and evolution of calling song recognition networks is central to understanding speciation in insects. Evolutionary changes in the recognition network can compel speciation, so understanding the commonalities in the mechanisms by which song recognition is achieved across species can help define a central…

How does the organization of neural information processing enable humans’ sophisticated cognition? Here we decompose functional interactions between brain regions into synergistic and redundant components, revealing their distinct information-processing roles. Combining functional, structural, and diffusion-weighted…
