The Least Cost Path From Landscape Genetics to Landscape Genomics
(2018)
Ecosystems are the stage on which the play of evolution is acted, and ecosystems are complex, spatially structured and temporally varying. The purpose of this Research Topic is to explore critical challenges and opportunities ...
Low-dose antibiotics: current status and outlook for the future
(2014)
Antimicrobial therapy is a key factor in our success against pathogens poised to ravage at risk or infected individuals. However, we are currently at a watershed point as we face a growing crisis of antibiotic resistance ...
Limbic-Brainstem Roles in Perception, Cognition, Emotion and Behavior
(2018)
The brainstem-limbic regions, including the superior colliculus, pulvinar and amygdala, receive direct perceptual information as a rapid, coarse, subcortical sensory system bypassing early sensory cortical systems, and ...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Healthy and Diseased Brain Networks
(2015)
An important aspect of neuroscience is to characterize the underlying connectivity patterns of the human brain (i.e., human connectomics). Over the past few years, researchers have demonstrated that by combining a variety ...
Magnetic Records of Extreme Geological Events
(2017)
Recent advances in environmental magnetism offer the opportunity to link the magnetic signature of marine and continental rocks to the paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic settings that controlled their formation or ...
Mind the gap! Gap junction channels and their importance in pathogenesis
(2014)
"Cells live together, but die singly", this sentence wrote the German physiologist Theodor Engelmann in 1875 and although he had no particular knowledge of gap junction channels (their structure was discovered around 100 ...
Mind over brain, brain over mind: cognitive causes and consequences of controlling brain activity
(2015)
This Research Topic combines articles aiming to gain a better understanding on different factors that determine whether people are successful or not in controlling computerized devices with brain signals. Since decades, ...
Mind-Brain Plasticity and Rehabilitation of Cognitive Functions: What Techniques Have Been Proven Effective?
(2017)
Rehabilitation of cognitive functions is a primary goal in neurological and psychiatric settings. Cognitive treatments include individual and group exercises, as well as the use of computer programs and virtual reality. ...
Mega Quakes: Cascading Earthquake Hazards and Compounding Risks
(2018)
Large-scale earthquake hazards pose major threats to modern society, generating casualties, disrupting socioeconomic activities, and causing enormous economic loss across the world. Events, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean ...
Macromolecular Structure Underlying Recognition in Innate Immunity
(2018)
Immune molecules have evolved to distinguish “self “molecules from “non-self”, “altered self” and “danger” molecules. Recognition is mediated via interactions between pattern recognition receptor molecules (PPRs) and their ...
