Incomplete Dominance01:43

Incomplete Dominance

30.0K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

975
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

What is Behavior?00:54

What is Behavior?

10.3K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Patch Clamp01:18

Patch Clamp

6.5K
Many fundamental cell functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission rely on the electrical signals produced by the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across the cell membrane. One competent method to record current flowing across the whole cell or single ion channel is the patch-clamp technique.
In this method, a glass micropipette containing electrolyte solution is tightly sealed against a small portion of the cell membrane. As a result, a patch of the cell...

Natural Selection and Mating Preferences01:06

Natural Selection and Mating Preferences

537
The principle of natural selection posits that organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This principle is closely intertwined with mating preferences, a key aspect of sexual selection, which evolutionary psychologists believe is driven by instincts to propagate one's genes. Such instincts significantly influence mating behaviors and preferences between genders.
Females, due to their biological roles in conception, pregnancy, and nursing,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Monkeys with missing face patches showed less preference for viewing faces. This suggests that specialized brain regions are crucial for our natural bias towards face perception.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Primate Behavior
  • Visual Perception

Background:

  • Primates exhibit a natural preference for faces during free viewing.
  • The ventral stream in primates contains specialized face patches, but their necessity for face perception is unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of specific face patches in primate face perception.
  • To examine free-viewing behavior in a monkey lacking key face patches.

Main Methods:

  • A female monkey without fMRI-defined posterior and middle lateral face patches underwent a free-viewing task with image stimuli.
  • Behavioral data from this monkey were compared to 10 control monkeys viewing the same images.

Main Results:

  • The monkey with missing face patches displayed a significantly reduced preference for viewing faces compared to controls.
  • This reduction was most prominent in the initial fixations.
  • Gaze patterns differed notably between the experimental monkey and controls, particularly for images containing faces.

Conclusions:

  • The findings link the anatomical clustering of neurons in face-selective patches to the behavioral bias for faces in naturalistic settings.
  • This study highlights the importance of specialized neural architecture for innate visual preferences.
