People have stable time-preferences regardless of whether they are measured using a non-verbal experiential task, as is typical in animal experiments, or using a more traditional verbal task.

The sleep-deprived brain in humans undergoes upscaled intracortical excitability which diminishes induction of LTP-like plasticity via transcranial electrical stimulation while converting the LTD-like to LTP-like plasticity and these physiological changes couple with impaired learning, memory, and attention at behavioral level.

The actomyosin network and phospho-regulation combine to polarize fate determinants at the Drosophila neuroblast cell cortex.

When conducting fear conditioning in mice, cue-elicited activity bursts are primarily a result of nonassociative processes, and freezing behavior remains the best index for associative learning.

SMAD1/5 signaling is essential for the full transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)-induced transcriptional program and physiological responses and is induced via a novel receptor activation mechanism, involving two distinct type I receptors.

Variation in autumnal expression from starting expression levels and initial cold-down-regulation, rather than epigenetic silencing, is the major field variable conferred by worldwide haplotypes of the floral repressor gene, FLC.

Plasmodium falciparum K13 mutations confer resistance to the antimalarial artemisinin in Asian and African parasites, with most gene-edited mutant K13 African parasite lines showing a fitness cost that may predict slow dissemination of artemisinin resistance in high-transmission settings.

Mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss causes changes in the neurophysiological functioning that emerge during adolescence, as suggested by both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs.

After playing violent video games for 7 hr over the course of 2 weeks, human male participants show neither signs of decreased empathy for the pain of another person nor of decreased responsivity to violent images.

Behavioural evidence and computational analyses suggest that people tend to decline the pursuit of more rewarded goals because they, wrongly, expect them to require more effortful actions.
