...Gerrit A. Martens; Cornelia Geßner; Lars P. Folkow; Marina Creydt; Markus Fischer; Thorsten Burmester ABSTRACT Lipids make up more than half of the human brain's dry weight, yet the composition and function of the brain lipidome is not well characterized. Lipids not only provide the structural...

The maternal mouthbrooding African cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni broods developing young inside the mouth for approximately 14 days, then provides post-release maternal care by protecting fry inside the mouth when...

The trigeminal nuclei include the spinal sensory (SpV) and the principal nucleus (PrV) which has dorsal (PrVd) and ventral...

Treating male zebrafish with metyrapone, a cortisol synthesis inhibitor, blocked the cortisol response to social subordination and attenuated the suppression of brain cell proliferation in the dorsal telencephalic area of subordinate fish. Collectively, these data support a role for cortisol...

Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the onset of mating (623 genes) were enriched for the gene ontology...

...), which may last 0.2 to 20 s after capture. The squeals are pulse bursts that vary in duration, peak frequency and amplitude. The victory squeal may be a reflection of emotion triggered by brain dopamine release. It may also affect prey to ease capture and/or it may be a way to communicate the presence...

This study investigates whether the brain is involved in the acute sensitivity of ventilation to ammonia, and whether changes in brain metabolism are related to the loss of hyperventilatory responses in trout...

... to speculation that DGCs lie at one end of a continuum of gas exchange patterns, from continuous to discontinuous, linked to metabolic rate (MR). However, the neural hypothesis posits that it is the downregulation of brain activity and a change in the neural control of gas exchange, rather than low MR per se...

However, cellular senescence showed marked regional differences, suggesting that particular brain regions age slower than others. Finally, by preventing post-winter colonies from brood rearing, behavioral...

Changes in host behaviour are often restricted to particular behaviours, with many other behaviours remaining unaffected. Neuroscientists can produce this degree of selectivity by targeting specific brain areas...
