      This important study reports how swallowtail butterflies pattern structures composed of chitin at the nanometer scale to produce structural colors. The work uses state-of-the-art microscopy techniques to convincingly show that F-actin is utilized in these butterflies in a novel way to produce structure, paving the way for further studies on growth regulation leading to precise ultrastructures and structural colors.

      This study, based on a large-scale data set and established behavioural tasks, has the potential to provide a valuable contribution to the literature if the authors could combine and correlate their behavioural evaluations with neural data and/or clinical assessments. As a standalone dataset, however, the current study appears incomplete because it does not go beyond merely replicating existing findings in a large cohort of children. In order to elevate their study, the authors are encouraged to publish their full dataset and explore the relationship between behavioural and neural or clinical data.

      This paper provides a fundamental expansion of vestibular compensation into transient and partial dysfunction, as well as insights into the adaptation of visual reflexes in this process. The conclusions are convincingly supported with paired histological and behavioral measurements, which are additionally modeled for further interpretation. This work would be of interest to neuroscientists working in multisensory integration and recovery mechanisms.

      This paper provides valuable information regarding visuospatial working memory performance in patients with MS compared to healthy controls, using a relatively novel continuous measure of visual working memory. There are some weaknesses with the way the clinical groups were matched, but those limitations are acknowledged and the strength of evidence for the claims is otherwise convincing. The paper will be of interest to those working in the field of clinical neuroscience.
