    Spinal processing: anatomy and physiology of spinal nociceptive mechanisms

    Feb 19, 1985 - The processing of nociceptive input that occurs at the spinal level represents the first stage of effective control over its access to higher regions of the central nervous system. Recent developments in both the anatomy and physiology of

    Eukaryotic organisms in Proterozoic oceans

    May 5, 2006 - The geological record of protists begins well before the Ediacaran and Cambrian diversification of animals, but the antiquity of that history, its reliability as a chronicle of evolution and the causal inferences that can be drawn from it remain

    No extension of lifespan by ablation of germ line in Drosophila

    Dec 21, 2005 - Increased reproduction is frequently associated with a reduction in longevity in a variety of organisms. Traditional explanations of this ‘cost of reproduction’ suggest that trade-offs between reproduction and longevity should be obligate.

    Antibiotics: opportunities for genetic manipulation

    Aug 31, 1989 - New antibiotics can still be discovered by the development of novel screening procedures. Notable successes over the last few years include the monobactams, β- lactamase inhibitors (clavulanic acid) and new glycopeptides in the antibacterial held;

    Minute examination of the organ of taste in man

    Jan 1, 1851 - The author commences by describing his mode of observation, which differs from that followed by previous observers. It consists in removing from the living tongue one of the papillæ, and immediately subjecting it to examination. He then proceeds to

    Cross- and auto-correlation in early vision

    Jul 7, 2011 - Neurons that respond selectively to the orientation of visual stimuli were discovered in V1 more than 50 years ago, but it is still not fully understood how or why this is brought about. We report experiments planned to show whether human observers

    The ascent of water in trees: (Second paper)

    Jul 8, 1907 - The physical conditions in the vessels interpose no obstacle to the exertion of a pumping action on their contents controlled by the medullary ray cells. There are many theoretical ways in which surface tension action could be brought into play in

    Expression change in Angiopoietin-1 underlies change in relative brain size in fish

    Jul 7, 2015 - Brain size varies substantially across the animal kingdom and is often associated with cognitive ability; however, the genetic architecture underpinning natural variation in these key traits is virtually unknown. In order to identify the genetic
