The kinase that controls maternal mRNA translation is regulated by phosphorylation of its activating subunit to restrict kinase activity to the developmental window between meiosis completion and early embryogenesis.

The B cell receptors of naïve B cells need higher levels of mechanical force to be fully activated than those of memory B cells.

The neural circuit that regulates egg-laying behavior in nematode worms is activated by egg production, coupled to the circuit that generates movement, and inhibited by sensory feedback from egg release.

The activation of Drosophila Or7a receptors guides aggregation and egg-laying behaviors towards both green leaf volatiles and a male-specific food-odor-induced pheromone.

A survey of researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital provides insights into the challenges and opportunities involved in adopting an open science policy across an entire patient-oriented academic institution.

The ongoing debate on the neural basis of orientation selectivity in the primary visual cortex continues.

A method to assess the training of scientists, based on a set of 10 core competencies, is proposed.

The same genes and signalling pathways control the formation of skin appendages in both fish and land animals.
