When it comes to behavior and cognition, the abilities of animals seem similarly unique. A clear and well-characterized example of animal-specific behavioral trait (in the current state of knowledge) is associative learn- ing (or classical conditioning), which has been convinc- ingly documented ...
Previous work has shown that animal RFX and FoxJ1 cross-regulate each other’s expression.9,49 For example, in mouse ependymal cells, RFX3 is required for full foxJ1 expression,50 whereas mouse foxJ1−/− embryos fail to transcribe rfx3.51 Intriguingly, the most differentially expressed ge...
Why do humans, virtually alone among all animal species, display a distinct left or right handedness? Not even our closest relatives among the apes possess such decided lateral asymmetry, as psychologists call it. Yet about 90 per cent of every human population that has ever lived appears to ...
We focused our assessment on the non-cancer effects on the thyroid based on the congener specific patterns and concentrations of PCBs measured in air near and distant to the harbor. Human and animal studies of PCB-induced effects on the thyroid provide evidence to support our analysis. Drawing ...
Collection and aquarium maintenance of specimens were conducted with approved protocol 11/10 by the Comité de Bioética Animal, Universidad Austral de Chile. The post-experiment specimens were quickly dissected on ice to obtain the liver and other internal organs. These small tissues were submerged ...
A closely related theory sees theater as evolving out of dances that are primarily pantomimic, rhythmical or gymnastic, or from imitations of animal noises and sounds. Admiration for the performer’s skill, virtuosity, and grace are seen as motivation for elaborating the activities into fully ...
