For those who want to protect these animals, there are ways to give their care and support for these creatures that are in danger of being gone forever.People of different ages should be taught the importance of
In humans and other mammals, hypothalamic neurons change their activity during innate behaviors1,2, which can be elicited or inhibited by the activation of genetically identified hypothalamic cell populations1,3,4,5,6. The lateral hypothalamus (LH) features particularly strong efferent and afferent co...
Cattle naturally resistant to Brucellu aborrus were bred and progeny from five generations of families were used to study the heritability of genes controlling this trait. Back-crossed calves were phenotyped by challenge with B. abortus and the results from genetic analyses indicated that at least...
In order to stress(强调)the importance of hard-working spirit education 3 students, the Communist Party of China Central Committee recently released(发布)the guidelines. The guidelines call for students to respect labor(劳动)work. Students should learn basic life skills and develop good working 4 ...
and the importance of ecological and social environments, as well as individual variation, in the expression of cognitive abilities. The field of animal cognition, however, is still being influenced by some historical tendencies. For example, primates and birds are still the majority of study specie...
Innate behaviors meet multiple needs adaptively and in a serial order, suggesting the existence of a hitherto elusive brain dynamics that brings together representations of upcoming behaviors during their selection. Here we show that during behavioral tr
RNA interference (RNAi) is an ancient biological mechanism used to defend against external invasion. It theoretically can silence any disease-related genes in a sequence-specific manner, making small interfering RNA (siRNA) a promising therapeutic modali
Efficacy regarding reductions in fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c were highly correlated (Figure 4D), underscoring the importance of controlling fasting plasma glucose to achieve acceptable overall glycemic control based on commonly recommended target ranges. Similar conclusions were derived from specifically...
Striatum processes a wide range of functions including goal-directed behavior and habit formation, respectively encoded by the dorsomedial striatum (DMS) and dorsolateral striatum (DLS). GABAergic feedforward inhibition is known to control the integratio
We'll focus here on felines rather than the "easy" cases like parasitic tapeworms or cockroaches because of the unique status of members of the cat family in contemporary human culture, both as pets/companion animals and as our romanticised emblems of "wildlife". Most contemporary humans ...
