Teaching a tactile alphabet to sighted adults reveals the brain’s unexpected potential for change.

A plant peptide hormone controls organ shedding by acting as molecular glue that promotes the interaction between two membrane receptor kinases.

Medaka fish were able to use faces for individual recognition, and were slower to recognise inverted faces but not inverted non-face shapes.

Pre-verbal infants demonstrate an implicit sensitivity to interoceptive sensations, which fluctuates spontaneously during emotional processing and guides audiovisual preferences in the environment.

Functional neuroimaging reveals sensitivity to shape information and correlation between brain activation and perceptual behaviour in both dorsal and ventral visual pathways, thereby challenging the strict binary distinctions between the two pathways.

Perirhinal cortex, a brain structure located in the medial temporal lobe, uniquely supports the integration of visual and conceptual object information.

Multiple independent directional selection events on a neural substrate that underpins domain-general associative abilities partly explains independent occurrences of complex behavior in different lineages of mammals.

Among captive chimpanzees, higher agreeableness males and higher openness females survive longer.

The quality of mentoring received while a postdoc influences career choice irrespective of field, gender, or ethnicity, according to a 7,603-respondent postdoc survey.

Many papers in basic biomedical science do not contain the information that is needed to determine what statistical tests were used and to verify the results of these tests.
