The Amphioxus SoxB Family: Implications for the Evolution of Vertebrate Placodes [PDF]
, 2007 Cranial placodes are regions of thickened ectoderm that give rise to sense organs and ganglia in the vertebrate head. Homologous structures are proposed to exist in urochordates, but have not been found in cephalochordates, suggesting the first chordates

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Olfactory dysfunction is common in aging and an early symptom of neurodegenerative diseases, but how structural (olfactory bulb [OB] volume) and functional (olfactory network [OFN] functional connectivity [FC]) brain features interact to shape odor identification ability remains unclear.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Co‐transplantation of ethyl stearate and NSCs can effectively improve motor dysfunction in PD rats and ethyl stearate regulates the entry into and exit from the quiescent state of NSCs through the EphB2/AKT/CyclinD1 pathway. Abstract Background This research aimed to examine the impact of co‐transplantation of ethyl stearate (PubChem CID: 8122) and ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 The sense of smell is critical for the survival of insects, by which insects detect the odor signals in the environment and make appropriate behavioral responses such as host preference, mate choice, and oviposition site selection.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Assess the performance of serum phosphorylated tau 217 (p‐tau217) and neurofilament light chain (NfL) in predicting risk of cognitive impairment or phenoconversion to dementia in individuals with iRBD. Methods We measured serum p‐tau217 and NfL levels by electrochemiluminescence across 4 polysomnographically confirmed iRBD cohorts (n = 300 ...

Nanomaterial‐Mediated Near‐Infrared Photothermal Neuromodulation for Neurologic Disorders
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.This review summarizes how near‐infrared light activates photothermal nanomaterials to enable noninvasive neuromodulation with high spatiotemporal precision. It elucidates the underlying mechanisms, explores targeted therapeutic applications for neurological disorders, discusses integration with optogenetics and biosensors, and addresses future ...

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.
