Electrolytic lesions within central complex neuropils of the cockroach brain affect negotiation of barriers [PDF]
, 2010 Animals must negotiate obstacles in their path in order to successfully function within natural environments. These actions require transitions from walking to other behaviors, many of which are more involved than simple reflexes.

High‐Performance Air‐Stable Polymer Monolayer Transistors for Monolithic 3D CMOS logics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A fibrillar polymer monolayer with a self‐confinement effect is demonstrated, in which aligned chains parallel the nanofiber axis. Employing a top‐gate CYTOP dielectric, this monolayer transistor achieves high mobility (7.12 cm2 V−1 s−1) and exceptional stability over 1260 days in air.
