When we interact with the world, such as when we reach out to touch an object, the brain actively changes incoming sensory signals based on anticipation. This…
One mainstay of evolutionary theory is survival of the fittest individuals, whose genes can thereby be passed on. However, one type of gene – 'selfish' genes -…
Using microfluidic technology to advance the preparation of samples from the chemically complex bioreactor environment, the researchers have harnessed…
Storage of highly volatile gases has always been a major technological challenge, not least for use in the automotive sector, for, for example, methane or…
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system attacks and damages the protective coating around nerve cells.
It has long been known that so-called place cells in the human hippocampus are responsible for coding one’s position in space. A related type of brain cell,…
