Orienting Movements: Brainstem Neurons at the Wheel.
Published in Current biology : CB
The nervous system must constantly adjust its motor output in response to changes in the environment. A new study of the control of orienting movements in mice has identified discrete groups of neurons in the brainstem that connect a sensory integrative area with distinct features of motor behaviour.

Plant Biology: Gynoecium Development with Style.
Published in Current biology : CB
The gynoecium is the female reproductive part of the flower and is essential for plant sexual reproduction. A new study shows a novel angiosperm-specific gene family that fine tunes the architecture of the stigma and style in Arabidopsis. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Anterior Cingulate Cortex and the Control of Dynamic Behavior in Primates.
Published in Current biology : CB
The brain mechanism for controlling continuous behavior in dynamic contexts must mediate action selection and learning across many timescales, responding differentially to the level of environmental uncertainty and volatility. In this review, we argue that a part of the frontal cortex known as the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is particularly wel...
The claustrum.
Published in Current biology : CB
The claustrum is a brain region that has been investigated for over 200 years, yet its precise function remains unknown. In the final posthumously released article of Francis Crick, written with Christof Koch, the claustrum was suggested to be critically linked to consciousness. Though the claustrum remained relatively obscure throughout the last h...
Vertebrate Evolution: Jawless Heads Go with the Flow.
Published in Current biology : CB
New hydrodynamic analyses demonstrate that Palaeozoic jawless vertebrates, laden with heavy bony armour, were active, capable swimmers. This challenges previous hypotheses suggesting they were bottom feeders and impacts our understanding of the evolutionary transition from jawless to jawed vertebrates. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Conservation: Goldilocks Nations for Restoring Reef Sharks.
Published in Current biology : CB
The first baited, video-based global survey of coral reef sharks reveals widespread depletion and functional extinction from eight nations. The authors identify priority 'Goldilocks' nations with the necessary combination of governance and shark abundance to recover depleted shark populations. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
