Scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin have created a data science framework to better understand how cells travel through the body. The researchers ...
Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement -- they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. The findings are especially relevant for better understanding ...
Disturbance and habitat modification by humans can alter animal movement, leading to negative impacts on fitness, survival and population viability. However, the ubiquity and nature of these impacts ...
Researchers examining the brain at a single-neuron level found that computation happens not just in the interaction between neurons, but within each individual neuron. Each of these cells, it turns ...
Form-function-mechanics relationships. Integration and coordination of movements. Muscle contraction and tendon action. Ecological diversification. Evolutionary transitions. Feeding. In my lab, we ...
During development, organisms can undergo a number of significant changes in form and behavior. So how does activity influence development? To learn more about that question, scientists studied the ...
The primate superior colliculus (SC) contains a topographic map of space, such that the anatomical location of active neurons defines a desired eye movement vector. Complementing such a spatial code, ...
Humans change entire landscapes - by building cities and roads, by farming land and by exploiting natural resources. What effects does this have on animals and their habitats? Using the GPS location ...
