Microglia modulate stable wakefulness via the thalamic reticular nucleus in mice

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Here, the authors show that microglia depletion results in unstable wakefulness and altered levels of ceramide, influencing microglia in the mouse thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN). Stable wakefulness can be restored by activation of the TRN or inhibition

Reduced length of nodes of Ranvier and altered proteoglycan immunoreactivity in prefrontal white matter in major depressive disorder and chronically stressed rats

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Major depressive disorder (MDD) and chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) in animals feature comparable cellular and molecular disturbances that involve neurons and glial cells in gray and white matter (WM) in prefrontal brain areas.

Genetic targeting and anatomical registration of neuronal populations in the zebrafish brain with a new set of BAC transgenic tools

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Genetic access to small, reproducible sets of neurons is key to an understanding of the functional wiring of the brain. Here we report the generation of a new Gal4- and Cre-driver resource for zebrafish neurobiology.

DSCAM is differentially patterned along the optic axon pathway in the developing Xenopus visual system and guides axon termination at the target

open access: yesNeural Development, 2022
Background The Xenopus retinotectal circuit is organized topographically, where the dorsal–ventral axis of the retina maps respectively on to the ventral-dorsal axis of the tectum; axons from the nasal-temporal axis of the retina project respectively to ...

Behavior and Behavior Assessment

open access: yes, 2012
This chapter addresses these questions: What do we mean by “behavior” in personality and social psychology? How can we best assess social behavior? We define behavior as being observable and socially meaningful, but also discuss the dimensions on which behavior varies (e.g., intentional vs. habitual, discrete vs. continuous).

A preliminary investigation of presenteeism and cognitive preferences among head nurses: a cross-sectional study

open access: yesBMC Nursing, 2023
Background Individual health is essential for productivity at work. However, presenteeism, which is defined as attending work while ill, is common.

IC-Behavior: An interdisciplinary taxonomy of behaviors

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2021
Academic disciplines are often organized according to the behaviors they examine. While most research on a behavior tends to exist within one discipline, some behaviors are examined by multiple disciplines. Better understanding of behaviors and their relationships should enable knowledge transfer across disciplines and theories, thereby dramatically ...

Cortical ensemble activity discriminates auditory attentional states

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2019
Selective attention modulates sensory cortical activity. It remains unclear how auditory cortical activity represents stimuli that differ behaviorally.

Is Defensive Behavior a Subtype of Prosocial Behaviors? [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
Defensive behavior is defined as a behavioral response to threatening situations for survival and body safety of oneself and others (Pulkkinen, 1987; Wrangham, 2018). Defending is a prosocial behavior defined by the intent to help victimized individuals (Eisenberg and Spinrad, 2014; Lambe and Craig, 2020). Lambe and Craig (2020) proposed that defensive

Antenna movements as a function of odorants’ biological value in honeybees (Apis mellifera L.)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
In honeybees, the antennae are highly mobile sensory organs that express scanning movements in various behavioral contexts and toward many stimuli, especially odorants. The rules underlying these movements are still unclear. Using a motion-capture system,
