Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Enriched Environment Enhances Motor Function in Mice With Cerebral Infarction by Promoting mTOR‐Dependent Autophagy in the Contralateral Dentate Nucleus

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although environmental enrichment (EE) promotes post‐stroke motor recovery, the mechanisms underlying its regulation of cerebellar dentate nucleus (DN) plasticity remain unclear; this study therefore investigated how EE coordinates autophagy, mitochondrial homeostasis, and synaptic remodeling in the contralateral DN to facilitate functional ...
