Plasticity of GABAergic synapses
(2016)
Learning and memory are believed to depend on plastic changes of neuronal circuits due to activity-dependent potentiation or depression of specific synapses. During the last two decades, plasticity of brain circuits was ...
Optical Approaches to Capture Plant Dynamics in Time, Space, and Across Scales
(2018)
Quantifying temporal changes in plant geometry as a result of genetic, developmental, or environmental causes is essential to improve our understanding of the structure and function relationships in plants. Over the last ...
The oral microbiome in an ecological perspective
(2015)
The oral cavity harbors an immense diversity of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, archaea, protozoa and viruses. At health, oral microbial community is thought to be in a state of homeostasis, even after numerous ...
Perceiving and Acting in the Real World: From Neural Activity to Behavior
(2016)
One remarkable ability of the human brain is to process large amounts of information about our surroundings to allow us to interact effectively with them. In everyday life, the most common way to interact with objects is ...
Perception of visual advertising in different media: from attention to distraction, persuasion, preference and memory
(2015)
This Research Topic aims to showcase the state of the art in visual advertising research. Although visual processes are a central component of consumer behavior, they have been largely neglected in models explaining consumer ...
Perception and Cognition: Interactions in the Ageing Brain
(2016)
Healthy ageing can lead to declines in both perceptual and cognitive functions. Impaired perception, such as that resulting from hearing loss or reduced visual or tactile resolution, increases demands on ‘higher-level’ ...
Personalized Medicine and Neurosurgery
(2017)
The Precision Medicine Initiative, which was instituted by President Barack Obama on January 20, 2015, highlighted the importance that advances in genomics and related “-omic” approaches have made to science and medicine, ...
Origin and spatiotemporal dynamics of the peroxisomal endomembrane system
(2015)
The peroxisome is an organelle with essential roles in lipid metabolism, maintenance of reactive oxygen species homeostasis, and anaplerotic replenishment of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates destined for mitochondria. ...
The Origin of the Plasma Cell Heterogeneity
(2015)
Plasma cells (PCs) are terminally differentiated B-cells producing large amounts of immunoglobulins (Ig). In humans, most of circulating Ig are produced by bone marrow plasma cells. PCs differentiate from activated naïve ...
Paradigm changes are required in HIV vaccine research
(2015)
In his 1962 book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions", Thomas Kuhn famously argued that researchers in every field of scientific enquiry always operate under a set of presuppositions known as paradigms that are rarely ...
