Causal Role of Theta Oscillations in Auditory Working Memory
Causal Role of Theta Oscillations in Auditory Working Memory. This study shows that driving brain oscillations with rhythmic stimulation can specifically improve auditory working memory performance an...
Another Reason to Eat Your Veggies - Lymphocytes depend on a compound in broccoli to survive in the gut and fight infections, explains Marc Veldhoen....
Mixing and matching floral traits - Plants and their pollinators can evolve extremely specific and exclusive relationships with one another, potentially leading to reproductive isolation and speciatio...
Chromatin shapes the mitotic spindle - Microtubules make up the mitotic spindle, the machinery that segregates homologous chromosomes during cell division. Dr. Francois Nedelec and his colleagues have...
Andy Dillin and colleagues show that, in the nematode worm C. elegans, activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) regulator XBP-1 in neurons produces a signal that stimulates UPR in intestinal ...
Fruit chemistry alters animal behavior. This study shows the role of secondary metabolites in ripe fruits in shaping plant-animal interactions, not only by directly deterring seed predators but also b...
How are some behaviors instinctively performed? Newborn mice rely on odor cues emitted by the mom to reliably release suckling behavior at birth. Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute set out t...
Infant calming responses during maternal carrying in humans and mice
Mother-infant bonding is the earliest and most critical social relationship of mammalian infants, one that is promoted by an infant's innate desire to be close to his or her mother (as demonstrated by...
