T. rex cognition was T. rex‐like—A critical outlook on diverging views of the neurocognitive evolution in dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Assaying Mechanonociceptive Behavior in Drosophila Larvae

Bio-Protocol, 2018
Drosophila melanogaster larvae have been extensively used as a model to study the molecular and cellular basis of nociception. The larval nociceptors, class IV dendritic arborization (C4da) neurons, line the body wall of the animal and respond to various

DEVELOPMENT OF COMPLEX, STEREOTYPED BEHAVIOR IN PIGEONS [PDF]

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1980
A pigeon's peck on one key moved a light down one position in a 5 × 5 matrix of lights, while a peck on another key moved the light across one position. Reinforcement depended upon the occurrence of four pecks on each key (moving the matrix light from the top left to the bottom right), and a fifth peck on either key ended a trial without food.

Cooperative learning in anatomy: Comparing virtual avatars and human specimens

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Contemporary research demonstrated that undergraduate medical students rated an augmented reality learning tool entitled “human muscular arm avatar” as useful for their self‐directed individual learning. Beyond this subjective assessment, it was largely unknown whether avatar‐based study would also improve knowledge test scores at an objective

Developing a critical caste analysis within information science and technology: A research review: An annual review of information science and technology paper

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Caste—an ascriptive social hierarchy in South Asia and its diaspora—is a globalized phenomenon. Recent caste‐based discrimination, particularly in technology companies and anti‐caste efforts to address it, has compelled academia, policy, and the technology industry to better understand contemporary mechanics of caste.

Interval Timing Is Altered in Male Nrxn1+/− Mice: A Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social interactions and communication, and increased repetitive and stereotypical behavior. Neuroimaging shows functional abnormalities in brain areas involved in temporal processing in autistic individuals, and they also show deficits in interval timing.
