The social costs of aviation CO₂ and contrail cirrus

This study quantifies the social costs of aviation’s CO₂ emissions and contrail cirrus. Targeting flights with high contrail cirrus impacts could substantially reduce aviation’s climate damages.

Functional synapses between neurons and small cell lung cancer

Small cell lung cancer cells form functional synapses with glutamatergic neurons, receiving synaptic transmissions and deriving a proliferative advantage from these interactions.

Intrinsic and synaptic determinants of receptive field plasticity in Purkinje cells of the mouse cerebellum

How each mechanism of plasticity contributes to memory formation is not fully understood. Here the authors show that plasticity of intrinsic excitability exerts permissive control over the coupling of synaptic weight to neuronal output, as shown in Purkinje cells using two-photon microscopy. Non-synaptic plasticity emerges as an independent player in learning.

βCaMKII controls the direction of plasticity at parallel fiber–Purkinje cell synapses

Synaptic plasticity at the cerebellar parallel fiber–Purkinje cell is mediated by calcium/calmodulin kinase II. In a knockout mouse line lacking the beta subunit of CaMKII, the authors show a bidirectional inversion of synaptic plasticity accompanying movement disorders and impaired motor learning.

NO at low concentration can enhance the formation of highly oxygenated biogenic molecules in the atmosphere

Nitrogen monoxide at low concentrations can promote the formation of highly oxygenated organic molecules, which are crucial precursors to secondary organic aerosol (SOA), rather than inhibit it as traditionally thought.

The gas-phase formation mechanism of iodic acid as an atmospheric aerosol source

Iodic acid (HIO₃) forms aerosols very efficiently, but its gas-phase formation mechanism is not well understood. Atmospheric simulation chamber experiments, quantum chemical calculations and kinetic modelling have now revealed that HIO₃ forms as an early iodine oxidation product from hypoiodite. The mechanism explains field measurements and suggests a catalytic role for iodine in particle formation.

Genome-wide association analysis identifies six new loci associated with forced vital capacity

Stephanie London, Martin Tobin and colleagues report meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies for forced vital capacity (FVC), a spirometric measure of pulmonary function that reflects lung volume. They identify six regions newly associated with FVC and demonstrate that candidate genes at these loci are expressed in lung tissue and primary lung cells.

Cerebellar plasticity and motor learning deficits in a copy-number variation mouse model of autism

Impairments of cerebellar-dependent motor control and learning are implicated in some forms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this study, the authors provide a characterization of the motor deficits and cerebellar function abnormalities in a transgenic mouse model of ASD.

Genome-wide association analyses for lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease identify new loci and potential druggable targets

Louise Wain, Ian Hall, Martin Tobin and colleagues report genome-wide association analyses of lung function, identifying 43 new signals associated with one or more lung function traits. A genetic risk score derived from these results was significantly associated with risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in independent populations.

Managing forests for the supply of multiple ecosystem services (ES) is key given potential trade-offs among services. Here, the authors analyse how forest stand attributes generate trade-offs among ES and the relative contribution of forest attributes and environmental factors to predict services.

The economic optimality of limiting global warming to below 2 °C has been questioned. This analysis shows that the 2 °C target is economically optimal in a version of the DICE model that includes updated climate science, climate damage estimates and evidence on social discount rates.

LTD-like molecular pathways in developmental synaptic pruning

Deficits in developmental synaptic pruning are frequently observed in autism. Here the authors demonstrate molecular pathways shared by pruning and long-term depression (LTD), a synaptic memory mechanism in adult brains that is dysregulated in autism. Thus, autism-related pruning deficits may result from the inability to weaken or disconnect inefficient synapses.
