Individual differences in associative learning
(2014)
Theories of associative learning have a long history in advancing the psychological account of behavior via cognitive representation. There are many components and variations of associative theory but at the core is the ...
HIV-Induced Damage of B Cells and Production of HIV Neutralizing Antibodies
(2018)
Multiple dysfunctions take place in the B cell compartment during HIV-1 infection, comprising depletion of resting memory B cells carrying serological memory to vaccines and previously met pathogens. In addition, population ...
HLA-G-mediated Immune Tolerance: Past and New Outlooks
(2017)
The non-classical HLA class I molecule HLA-G is different from classical HLA class I molecules because of the low polymorphism in the coding region, the fact that HLA-G primary transcript is alternatively spliced in seven ...
Hormonal and Neuroendocrine Regulation of Energy Balance
(2016)
Alteration in adequate energy balance maintenance results in serious disturbances such as obesity and its related metabolic disorders. In Mammals, energy balance is homeostatically controlled through hormonal and neuroendocrine ...
Hormonal Control of Important Agronomic Traits
(2018)
One of the goals of plant science is to improve agricultural sustainability, increasing yield, food diversity, and nutrition, while minimizing the negative impact on our environment. In response to internal and external ...
How Can Secretomics Help Unravel the Secrets of Plant-Microbe Interactions?
(2017)
Secretomics describes the global study of proteins that are secreted by a cell, a tissue or an organism, and has recently emerged as a field for which interest is rapidly growing. The term secretome was first coined at the ...
How Do Emotions and Feelings Regulate Physical Activity?
(2017)
Up to date the scientific discussion about how frequency and regularity of physical activity can be increased is dominated by social-cognitive models. However, increasing evidence suggests that emotions and feelings have ...
How Can Development and Plasticity Contribute to Understanding Evolution of the Human Brain?
(2016)
Humans usually attribute themselves the prerogative of being the pinnacle of evolution. They have large brains with many billion neurons and glial cells, trillions of synapses and besides all, a plastic hardware that may ...
How best to 'go on'? Prospects for a 'Modern Synthesis in the sciences of mind
(2016)
Psychology straddles areas from the biological to the social and cultural. Within that vast range, there have been recent explosions of interest in neuropsychology, genetics and epigenetics, and the evolutionary bases of ...
Human and Animal Models for Translational Research on Neurodegeneration: Challenges and Opportunities From South America
(2018)
Neurodegenerative diseases are the most frequent cause of dementia, representing a burden for public health systems (especially in middle and middle-high income countries). Although most research on this issue is concentrated ...
Human Tumor-Derived p53 Mutants: A Growing Family of Oncoproteins
(2016)
TP53 gene mutations are present in more than half of all human cancers. The resulting proteins are mostly full-length with a single amino acid change and are abundantly expressed in cancer cells. Some of the mutant p53 ...
Historical Roots of Psychopathology
(2016)
New advances of the neuroscience supported by a refined, reliable and valid phenotyping (e.g., at the level of symptoms and not at the level of disorders), are bringing some promising results. The mapping of clinical ...
Imaging Synapse Structure and Function

Development of new imaging technologies in recent years has transformed neuroscience in profound ways. Following on the heels of the revolution based on the Green Fluorescent Protein, refined genetically-encoded fluorescent ...
Immunoglobulin therapy in the 21st century: the dark side of the moon
(2015)
In the early decades since the introduction in the early '80s of immunoglobulin therapy many studies tried to identify which clinical indications might benefit from the therapy, which treatment’s schedules are effective ...
Immunogenic Cell Death in Cancer: From Benchside Research to Bedside
(2016)
Classically, anti-cancer therapies have always been applied with the primary aim of tumor debulking achieved through widespread induction of cancer cell death. While the role of host immune system is frequently considered ...
The immunology of cellular stress proteins
(2014)
Stress proteins or heat-shock proteins (HSP) are evolutionary conserved proteins present in every prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell. Their main function is to protect cells and proteins from damage under stressful circumstances. ...
Immunomodulatory Effects of Drugs for Treatment of Immune-Related Diseases
(2017)
More than 90% of diseases possess immunological abnormalities. Disorders such as inflammation, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity and immunodeficiency are simple examples of how the immune system misinterprets its surroundings ...
Immunobiotics: Interactions of Beneficial Microbes with the Immune System
(2018)
The term “immunobiotics” has been proposed to define microbial strains able to beneficially regulate the mucosal immune system. Research in immunobiotics has significantly evolved as researchers employed cutting-edge ...
