This study here tests the hypothesis that large-brained birds play more or, vice versa, those that play more have larger brains, a question that has been asked for some time73,74. This hypothesis has some support in the study of various mammals showing that brain sizes and life outcomes va...
When and how microglia engulf synapses and myelin is still unclear. Here, the authors provide a suite of flow cytometry-based approaches to quantify engulfment, paving the way for high-throughput assessment of microglial function in health and disease. ...
From a practical selection and assessment perspective, these results suggest it is still important that employees are being selected based on the alignment between their skillset and the requirements of the job to ensure safety compliance, and the alignment between their own needs and desires and ...
