Sound travels faster and farther in water than in air. Over evolutionary time, many marine organisms have come to rely on sound production, transmission, and reception for key aspects of their lives. These important behaviors are threatened by an increasing cacophony in the marine environment as human-produced sounds have become louder and more prevalent. Duarte et al. review the importance of…

Circadian rhythms that affect multiple tissues and organ systems are aligned with the dark-light cycle and other external inputs such as feeding. But how is such time keeping modulated throughout complex systems and anatomical regions? Koronowski and Sassone-Corsi reviewed how central regulators in the brain and peripheral regulators throughout organs can behave cooperatively or independently to…

Optical spectroscopy is a widely used characterization tool in industrial and research laboratory settings for chemical fingerprinting and analysis. High-end spectrometers are typically benchtop based with bulky optical components, moving parts, and long path lengths, and they can deliver a wealth of information with ultrahigh precision and bandwidth. There is, however, a drive toward…

When brain development goes awry, whether in genes or cells or circuits, neurodevelopmental disorders ensue. Klingler et al. review how disrupted development leads to clinical symptoms, with a particular focus on the linkage between cortical malformations and neuropsychiatric disorders. The complexity of the developmental process may underlie the variability in symptoms. Science , this issue p….
