Old Friends with a New Job - Drs. Yu Kitadate and Satoru Kobayashi describe their work, building on the original Developmental Cell paper, showing that primordial germ cells use receptor tyrosine kina...
Regional Sleep Oscillations in Humans - Slow waves and sleep spindles are the hallmarks of NREM sleep EEG. Watch and listen as Yuval Nir and colleagues take you on a guided tour of their findings demo...
In this video, Ira Espuny-Camacho and Pierre Vanderhaeghen describe how human pluripotent stem cells can be turned into cortical pyramidal neurons, mimicking key aspects of human corticogenesis. Most ...
John McCutcheon and colleagues show that, in some cicada species, a three-way symbiosis involving one insect and two bacterial symbionts has resulted in a four-way assemblage through an unusual bacter...
The posterior parietal cortex remaps touch into external space
The posterior parietal cortex remaps touch into external space - If you have your eyes closed and are touched, you know where the touch took place in the "external space" around you—this inv...
Plants Blast Pollinating Passerine Birds with Pollen Clouds
Agnes Dellinger and Florian Etl present the complex bird pollination system of the neotropical treelet Axinaea. Foraging birds activate a bellows organ, which causes the ejection of pollen clouds onto...
Turning Ovaries into Testes - An ovary does not necessarily remain an ovary without all of the necessary genes at work, new work by Treier and colleagues shows. Watch and listen as Mathias Treier take...
TIBS Science & Society: Multimedia for grant applications
Multimedia: a necessary step in the evolution of research funding applications by and featuring authors Mike Doran and Bill Lott.Multimedia communication capabilities are rapidly expanding, and visual...
miRNA, Notch, and Amygdala-Dependent Fear Learning
In this video, Dias et al. summarize data that shows that a microRNA in the amygdala (miR-34a) regulates Notch signaling after auditory fear conditioning. Their work makes a case for this interaction ...
Sonic Hedgehog Directs Cortical Circuit Formation - Sonic Hedgehog is one of the most widely studied molecules in developmental biology, with critical functions in tissue patterning, and proliferation...
