Play in Cognitive Development: From Rational Constructivism to Predictive Processing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract It is widely believed that play and curiosity are key ingredients as children develop models of the world. There is also an emerging consensus that children are Bayesian learners who combine their structured prior beliefs with estimations of the likelihood of new evidence to infer the most probable model of the world.

Techniques for subretinal injections in animals
Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 506-518, March 2025.Abstract Subretinal injections are not commonly performed during clinical treatment of animals but are frequently used in laboratory animal models to assess therapeutic efficacy and safety of gene and cell therapy products. Veterinary ophthalmologists are often employed to perform the injections in the laboratory animal setting, due to knowledge of ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Amacrine cell inputs to OFF midget ganglion cells in macaque retina
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The goal of this study was to explain the findings from physiological studies that OFF midget ganglion cells had larger receptive field centers than expected from their dendritic field diameters. First, we confirmed that OFF mRGCs (OFF MGC) receive input from diffuse bipolar cells (DB) as well as OFF midget bipolar cells (FMB ...

Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...
