Sub- and Supra-Second Timing: Brain, Learning and Development
(2016)
Time perception in the range of milliseconds to a few seconds is essential for many important sensory and perceptual tasks including speech perception, motion perception, motor coordination, and cross-modal interaction. ...
Sugar and Spice, and Everything Nice: Exploring Prosocial Development Through Infancy and Early Childhood
(2015)
Prosocial behaviors such as sharing, helping, and comforting begin to emerge early in development. The presence of these prosocial behaviors is important not only in childhood, but throughout one’s lifetime, as behaving ...
Surveying Antimicrobial Resistance: Approaches, Issues, and Challenges to Overcome
(2017)
Why Antibiotic Resistance? The use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine may have consequences beyond their intended applications. The “One Health” concept recognizes that the health of humans is connected to the ...
The Trigemino-Cardiac Reflex: Beyond the Diving Reflex
(2018)
The trigemino-cardiac reflex (TCR) is a well established brain-stem reflex and commonly manifests as bradycardia, asystole, hypotension and / or apnea. This phenomenon was extensively explored in the recent past. However, ...
Tropical Forest Ecosystem Responses to Increasing Nutrient Availability
(2017)
Deforestation and land use change have led to a strong reduction of tropical forest cover during the last decades. Climate change will amplify the pressure to the remaining refuges in the next years. In addition, tropical ...
The truth in complexes: why unraveling ion channel multi-protein signaling nexuses is critical for understanding the function of the nervous system
(2015)
In the search for simple explanations of the natural world, its complicated textures are often filed down to a smoothened surface of our liking. The impetus for this Research Topic was borne out of a need to re-ignite ...
Turning the Mind's Eye Inward: The Interplay between Selective Attention and Working Memory
(2016)

Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin-Relative SUMO in DNA Damage Response
(2018)
DNA damage response (DDR) is a term that includes a variety of highly sophisticated mechanisms that cells have evolved in safeguarding the genome from the deleterious consequences of DNA damage. It is estimated that every ...
Ubiquitin and the Brain: Roles of Proteolysis in the Normal and Abnormal Nervous System
(2017)
Proteolysis by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) in the nervous system has been extensively studied both in the context of normal physiological function as well as abnormal pathological conditions. Although ubiquitin ...
