Categorizing experience-based foraging plasticity in mites: age dependency, primacy effects and memory persistence [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Behavioural plasticity can be categorized into activational (also termed contextual) and developmental plasticity. Activational plasticity allows immediate contextual behavioural changes, whereas developmental plasticity is characterized by time-lagged ...

The conceptual structure of evolutionary biology: A framework from phenotypic plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this review, I approach the role of phenotypic plasticity as a key aspect of the conceptual framework of evolutionary biology. The concept of phenotypic plasticity is related to other relevant concepts of contemporary research in ...

Coordinated optimization of visual cortical maps (II) Numerical studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is an attractive hypothesis that the spatial structure of visual cortical architecture can be explained by the coordinated optimization of multiple visual cortical maps representing orientation preference (OP), ocular dominance (OD), spatial frequency,

Developmental defects in planarian hatchlings (Platyhelminthes: Rhabditophora) [PDF]

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba)
Developmental plasticity of the planarians is well-illustrated by whole-body regeneration from any tissue fragments and body size scaling regulated by food intake.

Intertwined Signaling Pathways Governing Tooth Development: A Give-and-Take Between Canonical Wnt and Shh

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Teeth play essential roles in life. Their development relies on reciprocal interactions between the ectoderm-derived dental epithelium and the underlying neural crest-originated mesenchyme.

Effects of environmental perturbations during postnatal development on the phenotypic integration of the skull [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Integration and modularity are fundamental determinants of how natural selection effects evolutionary change in complex multivariate traits. Interest in the study of the specific developmental basis of integration through experimental approaches is ...

Heterosynaptic Plasticity and the Experience-Dependent Refinement of Developing Neuronal Circuits

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Neurons remodel the structure and strength of their synapses during critical periods of development in order to optimize both perception and cognition.

Bifurcation in epigenetics: implications in development, proliferation and diseases

open access: yes, 2014
Cells often exhibit different and stable phenotypes from the same DNA sequence. Robustness and plasticity of such cellular states are controlled by diverse transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms, among them the modification of biochemical marks on ...

Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of Integrative Neuromuscular Training for Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Single-cell transcriptome atlas of male mouse pituitary across postnatal life highlighting its stem cell landscape

open access: yesiScience
Summary: The pituitary represents the master gland governing the endocrine system. We constructed a single-cell (sc) transcriptomic atlas of male mouse endocrine pituitary by incorporating existing and new data, spanning important postnatal ages in both ...
