This important study on multisensory learning examines the effect of integrating color vision and olfaction in the center for learning and memory (the mushroom body) in the fruit fly brain, and finds ...

This valuable study provides key insights into the role of the G protein-coupled receptor GPR34 in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) model. Notably, its findings differ, at least in part, from those of ...

This important study demonstrates that nutrient resorption efficiency in the widespread wetland grass Phragmites australis is largely canalized by phylogeographic lineage, ecotype and geographic ...

Bordetella pertussis hijacks the host innate immune protein PGLYRP1 via tracheal cytotoxin to suppress inflammation and evade killing, revealing a novel immune evasion strategy.

This is a valuable study addressing a debated question in brain repair research by testing whether NeuroD1 can convert brain immune cells into nerve cells using a virus-free genetic approach and live ...

This important study provides new insight into how frontostriatal circuits encode elapsed time and exhibit decision-related dynamics during an auditory change-detection task. Analyses of ...

Successful navigation of the social environment depends on the ability to rapidly evaluate conspecifics and adjust behaviour accordingly. Encounters with unfamiliar individuals are particularly ...

Currently, the causes for Alzheimer Disease (AD) are thought to lie in the formation of abnormal protein deposits including tau tangles and Amyloid ß (Aβ) plaques in the human cortex. These proteins ...

EEG neurofeedback as a method to modulate brain activity prior to painful stimulation and examined its effect on pain perception in a well-powered, double-blind study. Results showed that real, but ...

This important study investigates whether perceived gender is represented in the brain in a category-invariant manner across faces, bodies, and objects, identifying the right middle temporal gyrus ...
