Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Systemic immune dysregulation in patients experiencing urogynaecological mesh failure
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate the systemic immune landscape in patients experiencing urogynaecological mesh failure. The use of urogynaecological mesh was paused in the UK following an independent safety review that found ~1 in 15 women required removal due to complications. However, the mechanisms underpinning mesh failure remain

Black in Impressionism and Post‐Impressionism: Art, Color Vision, and Psychophysics
Black has engendered controversy in 19th Century color theory and in Impressionist and Post‐Impresssionist painting. The neural mechanisms of blackness perception are being revealed through contemporary psychophysics. ABSTRACT From Paleolithic cave art to modern abstraction, artists have used black not merely as a neutral tone, but as a powerful ...
