Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 The olfactory bulb is an evolutionarily old structure that antedates the appearance of a six-layered mammalian cerebral cortex. As such, the neuronal scaling rules that apply to scaling the mass of the olfactory bulb as a function of its number of ...

Toxins, 2021 Human botulism can be caused by botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes A to G. Here, we present an antibody-based antitoxin composed of four human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against BoNT/C, BoNT/D, and their mosaic toxins. This work built on our success

Mosaic evolution, preadaptation, and the evolution of evolvability in apes [PDF]
Evolution, 2019 Abstract A major goal in post-synthesis evolutionary biology has been to better understand how complex interactions between traits drive movement along and facilitate the formation of distinct evolutionary pathways.

Coordinated scaling of cortical and cerebellar numbers of neurons
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2010 While larger brains possess concertedly larger cerebral cortices and cerebella, the relative size of the cerebral cortex increases with brain size, but relative cerebellar size does not.

Unsupervised learning of cone spectral classes from natural images. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 The first step in the evolution of primate trichromatic color vision was the expression of a third cone class not present in ancestral mammals. This observation motivates a fundamental question about the evolution of any sensory system: how is it ...

Delaying quantitative resistance to pesticides and antibiotics
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 How can we best vary the application of pesticides and antibiotics to delay resistance evolution? Previous theoretical comparisons of deployment strategies have focused on qualitative resistance traits and have mostly assumed that resistance alleles are ...

A mosaic pattern characterizes the evolution of the avian brain [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004 Diversity in vertebrate brain size and composition is thought to arise from either developmental constraints that cause coordinated changes between brain regions or a mosaic model, whereby changes in individual brain regions are independent of changes in other brain regions.
