Plant Silicon Interactions between Organisms and the Implications for Ecosystems
(2017)
In this Frontiers topic, we explore how the functions and fates of plant silicon interact with other organisms and ecosystem processes. By bringing together new data from multiple disciplines and scales, we present a ...
Plant Single Cell Type Systems Biology
(2016)
The phenotype of a plant in response to a stress condition is the reflection of the molecular responses in different cell-types composing the plant. The multicellular complexity represents a challenge when accessing specific ...
Problem Gambling: Summarizing Research Findings and Defining New Horizons
(2018)
In 2003, Rachel A. Volberg wrote: “Why is it that gambling is not even on the radar when we consider the array of risks that adolescents must confront as they move towards adulthood?” Nowadays, after thirteen years, although ...
Python in Neuroscience
(2015)
Python is rapidly becoming the de facto standard language for systems integration. Python has a large user and developer-base external to theneuroscience community, and a vast module library that facilitates rapid and ...
Quantitative Biology: Dynamics of Living Systems
(2017)
With the emergence of Systems Biology, there is a greater realization that the whole behavior of a living system may not be simply described as the sum of its elements. To represent a living system using mathematical ...
Quantitative Assessment and Validation of Network Inference Methods in Bioinformatics
(2015)
Scientists today have access to an unprecedented arsenal of high-tech tools that can be used to thoroughly characterize biological systems of interest. High-throughput “omics” technologies enable to generate enormous ...
Quantitative Systems Biology for Engineering Organisms and Pathways
(2016)
Studying organisms as a whole for potential metabolic(ally) engineering of organisms for production of (bio)chemicals is essential for industrial biotechnology. To this end, integrative analysis of different –omics ...
Quantitative analysis of neuroanatomy
(2016)
The true revolution in the age of digital neuroanatomy is the ability to extensively quantify anatomical structures and thus investigate structure-function relationships in great detail. Large-scale projects were recently ...
Reading Faces and Bodies: Behavioral and Neural Processes Underlying the Understanding of,and Interaction with, Others
(2017)
The aim of this Research Topic was to offer an interdisciplinary forum for researchers interested in the interplay of face, eye gaze, and body perception in the understanding of others, with an emphasis on behavioural and ...
Reaching to Grasp Cognition: Analyzing Motor Behavior to Investigate Social Interactions
(2018)
How humans plan and execute their actions has always been a fascinating topic for neuroscience and psychology. In particular, kinematics studies have contributed to shed light on how very basic actions (e.g. reaching-grasping) ...
Proceedings of the International School on Magnetic Resonance and Brain Function - XII Workshop
(2018)
In the last thirty years, Magnetic Resonance has generated a wide revolution in biomedical research and in medical imaging in general. More recently, the "in vivo" studies of the human brain were extended by new ...
Progress in Ecological Stoichiometry
(2018)
Ecological stoichiometry concerns the way that the elemental composition of organisms shapes their ecology. It deals with the balance or imbalance of elemental ratios and how that affects organism growth, nutrient cycling, ...
Progress in Episodic Memory Research
(2016)
Episodic memory refers to the ability to remember personal experiences in terms of what happened and where and when it happened. Humans are also able to remember the specific perceptions, emotions and thoughts they had ...
The Psychology of Magic and the Magic of Psychology
(2016)
Magicians have dazzled audiences for many centuries; however, few researchers have studied how, let alone why, most tricks work. The psychology of magic is a nascent field of research that examines the underlying mechanisms ...
Psychomotor symptomatology in psychiatric illnesses
(2015)
Psychomotor symptoms are those symptoms that are characterized by deficits in the initiation, execution and monitoring of movements, such as psychomotor slowing, catatonia, neurological soft signs (NSS), reduction in motor ...
Refining Prevention: Genetic and Epigenetic Contributions
(2016)
Currently, most prevention efforts are framed as universal interventions. However, despite the demonstrated efficacy of many prevention programs, variability in response is the rule with some participants responding very ...
Plant Organ Abscission: From Models to Crops
(2017)
Plant organ abscission is a developmental process regulated by the environment, stress, pathogens and the physiological status of the plant. In particular, seed and fruit abscission play an important role in seed dispersion ...
The plant microbiome and its importance for plant and human health
(2015)
The study of plant-microbe associations by new techniques has significantly improved our understanding of the structure and specificity of the plant microbiome. Yet, microbiome function and the importance of the plant’s ...
Plant cell wall in pathogenesis, parasitism and symbiosis
(2015)
The cell wall is a complex structure mainly composed of cellulose microfibrils embedded in a cohesive hemicellulose and pectin matrix. Cell wall structural proteins, enzymes and their inhibitors are also essential components ...
Plant Phenotyping and Phenomics for Plant Breeding
(2018)
As a consequence of the global climate change, both the reduction on yield potential and the available surface area of cultivated species will compromise the production of food needed for a constant growing population. ...
