Pigeons may use ultra-low-frequency sounds to navigate—a strategy that could steer them off course in the face of infrasonic disturbances, such as sonic booms.

Satellites of the Golgi apparatus generate the microtubules used to grow outer dendrite branches in Drosophila neurons.
Scientists develop a gel that mimics mollusc glue to coat the insides of blood vessels.
Tooth-like structures on the skin of a South American fish might serve as high-velocity water-flow detectors.
Research into how the brain suffers as a result of chemotherapy is revealing potential avenues for ameliorating cognitive decline.
Researchers demonstrate that brain activity in response to a decision-making challenge predicts the likelihood that released prisoners will be re-arrested.
Researchers identify a protein involved in the chromosomal disorder that could explain its characteristic learning deficits.
Researchers find that temporary double-stranded DNA breaks commonly result from normal neuron activation—but expression of an Alzheimer’s-linked protein increases the damage.
Genetics experts argue that patients should be told about dangerous variants in their DNA that show up incidentally during sequencing.
