Sense of agency: Examining awareness of the acting self
(2015)
The sense of agency is defined as the sense of oneself as the agent of one's own actions. This also allows oneself to feel distinct from others, and contributes to the subjective phenomenon of self-consciousness (Gallagher, ...
Root Systems Biology
(2014)
The understanding of biological complexity has been greatly facilitated by cross-disciplinary, holistic approaches that allow insights into the function and regulation of biological processes that cannot be captured by ...
ROS Regulation during Plant Abiotic Stress Responses
(2017)
Plants are continuously exposed to a wide range of environmental conditions, including cold, drought, salt, heat, which have major impact on plant growth and development. To survive, plants have evolved complex physiological ...
Roots - The Hidden Provider
(2017)
Signal Transduction in Stomatal Guard Cells
(2017)
Stomata, the tiny pores on leaf surface, are the gateways for CO2 uptake during photosynthesis as well as water loss in transpiration. Further, plants use stomatal closure as a defensive response, often triggered by ...
Signaling in the Phytomicrobiome
(2017)
A plant growing under field conditions is not a simple individual; it is a community. We now know that there is a community of microbes associated with all parts of the plant, and that the root associated community is ...
Signaling Pathways in Developing and Pathological Tissues and Organs of the Craniofacial Complex
(2018)
Head formation requires the well-orchestrated and harmonised development of various tissues and organs within the craniofacial complex. A big variety of signaling pathways are involved in this process by controlling cell ...
Sleep Spindles: Breaking the Methodological Wall
(2017)
In the last decade, sleep spindles have attracted steadily increasing attention. This interest is motivated by the many intriguing relationships between spindles and various diseases (e.g., schizophrenia, Parkinson, ...
Sleep and cognition in the elderly
(2015)
Understanding the role of sleep and the mechanisms at play in ageing are among the most exciting challenges in neuroscience. Although our understanding of the mechanisms governing sleep stages and their role in cognitive ...
Sleep and Chronobiology in Plasticity and Memory
(2016)
Chronobiological mechanisms regulating time-of-day mediated behaviors, such as sleep and circadian rhythms, are thought to interact with and/or share cellular and molecular signaling cascades that shape synaptic plasticity ...
Pre-cueing Effects on Perception, Attention, and Cognitive Penetrability
(2018)
Attention has often been likened to spotlights and filters—devices that illuminate or screen out some inputs in favor of others. This largely passive conception of attention has been gradually replaced by a more dynamic ...
Precision Medicine in Oncology
(2019)
The emerging precision medicine approach aims to tailor disease prevention and treatment to each patient on the basis of individual variability, environmental factors and lifestyle. Fundamental achievements in the last few ...
Spores and Spore Formers
(2017)
Bacterial spore formers have been the focus of intense study for almost half a century centered primarily on Bacillus subtilis. This research has given us a detailed picture of the genetic, physiological and biochemical ...
Single-Domain Antibodies: Biology, Engineering and Emerging Applications
(2018)
Single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) represent the minimal antigen binding-competent form of the immunoglobulin domain and have unique properties and applications. SdAbs are naturally produced as the variable domains of the ...
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in human, cattle and foods. Strategies for detection and control
(2014)
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important foodborne pathogen associated with both outbreaks and sporadic cases of human disease, ranging from uncomplicated diarrhoea to haemorrhagic colitis (HC) and ...
State-of-the-Art Research on C1q and the Classical Complement Pathway
(2016)
C1q is the target recognition protein of the classical complement pathway and a major connecting link between innate and acquired immunity. As a charge pattern recognition molecule of innate immunity, C1q can engage a broad ...
Structure, function, and plasticity of hippocampal dentate gyrus microcircuits
(2015)
The hippocampus mediates several higher brain functions, such as learning, memory, and spatial coding. The input region of the hippocampus, the dentate gyrus, plays a critical role in these processes. Several lines of ...
Structure-Based Drug Design for Diagnosis and Treatment of Neurological Diseases
(2017)
European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) supports the collaboration of nationally-funded science and technology research through the creation of networks. COST is the longest-running European framework enhancing ...
Structure-Related Intrinsic Electrical States and Firing Patterns of Neurons With Active Dendrites
(2018)
Activity of the multi-functional networked neurons depends on their intrinsic states and bears both cell- and network-defined features. Firing patterns of a neuron are conventionally attributed to spatial-temporal organization ...
Social Interaction in Animals: Linking Experimental Approach and Social Network Analysis
(2017)
Understanding the link between individual behaviour and population organization and functioning has long been central to ecology and evolutionary biology. Behaviour is a response to intrinsic and extrinsic factors including ...
