... consumption, especially during the critical period of early brain development ( Gladyshev et al., 2016 ; Speake and Wood, 2005 ). Obtaining omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFAs) during development is critical for cognition in mammals ( Lozada et al., 2017 ; Mulder et al., 2014...

Brain development Hydrodynamic forces Fluid flow The ventricular cavities of the brain are covered by ependymal cells bearing motile cilia ( Worthington and Cathcart, 1966 ), which are whip-like organelles that can propagate bending waves and produce fluid flow over the cell...

... Sensitive period Learning and memory CRISPR Brain development Summary: Songbirds such as the zebra finch are powerful models in which to investigate neural and genomic mechanisms of complex learned behavior. Genomic manipulation is a powerful tool to advance these inquiries. © 2020...

...K. F. Fischbach; M. Heisenberg ABSTRACT The importance of the genome for behaviour has been amply demonstrated by the tools of population genetics. A deeper understanding of the relationship between genes and behaviour requires an investigation of how they influence brain development and neuronal...
