Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Like other animals, echinoderms rely on chemical senses to detect and localize food resources. Here, we evaluate the chemical sensitivity of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus to a number of stimuli possibly related to food, such as a few sugars ...

Five Hours Total Sleep Deprivation Does Not Affect CA1 Dendritic Length or Spine Density
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2022 Sleep is essential for long term memory function. However, the neuroanatomical consequences of sleep loss are disputed. Sleep deprivation has been reported to cause both decreases and increases of dendritic spine density.

Allometry of Defense: Predator Shift Alters Ontogenetic Growth Patterns in an Antipredator Trait
Insects, 2023 Predation is a major factor driving prey trait diversification and promoting ecological speciation. Consequently, antipredator traits are widely studied among prey species.

Morphological and Genetic Diversity of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Fruit Development
Plants, 2022 Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) fruits, which are eaten at an immature stage of development, can vary extensively in morphological features such as size, shape, waxiness, spines, warts, and flesh thickness.

Early Effects of Aβ Oligomers on Dendritic Spine Dynamics and Arborization in Hippocampal Neurons
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2020 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to impaired memory and cognitive deficits. Spine loss as well as changes in spine morphology correlates with cognitive impairment in this neurological disorder.

Hibernation Impairs Odor Discrimination – Implications for Alzheimer’s Disease
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2019 Reversible formation of PHF-like phosphorylated tau, an early feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was previously shown to occur in torpor during hibernation in the Golden hamster (Syrian hamster, Mesocricetus auratus).
