Non-uniform membrane diffusion enables steady-state cell polarization via vesicular trafficking.

abstract：:To learn, obtain reward and survive, humans and other animals must monitor, approach and act on objects that are associated with variable or unknown rewards. However, the neuronal mechanisms that mediate behaviours aimed at uncertain objects are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that a set of neurons in an intern...
