3D atlas of the macaque frontal lobe, based on the novel quantitative parcellation, integrates anatomical, neurochemical, and functional connectivity data.
After insemination, honeybee queens experience a rapid reduction in vision and flight performance, consistent with an ongoing sexual conflict over the number of mating flights that queens embark on.
Physiological studies of SLC6A17 and its pathogenic mutations revealed that glutamine is transported into synaptic vesicles (SVs) in an SLC6A17-dependent manner and all pathogenic conditions reduced glutamine level in SVs.

Haloperidol comparably affects learning from social and non-social sources when they are the primary source of information but does not affect learning from (social or non-social) secondary sources, providing evidence in support of domain-general neurochemical mechanisms underpinning social learning.
