The Insulin-Like Growth Factor System in the Long-Lived Naked Mole-Rat.
(2015)
Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) (NMRs) are the longest living rodents known. They show negligible senescence, and are resistant to cancers and certain damaging effects associated with aging. The insulin-like growth ...
Neither phylogenomic nor palaeontological data support a Palaeogene origin of placental mammals.
(2014-01)
O'Leary et al. (O'Leary et al. 2013 Science 339, 662-667. (doi:10.1126/science.1229237)) performed a fossil-only dating analysis of mammals, concluding that the ancestor of placentals post-dated the Cretaceous-Palaeogene ...
The CogBIAS longitudinal study protocol: cognitive and genetic factors influencing psychological functioning in adolescence.
(2017-12-29)
BACKGROUND: Optimal psychological development is dependent upon a complex interplay between individual and situational factors. Investigating the development of these factors in adolescence will help to improve understanding ...
Learning Temporal Statistics for Sensory Predictions in Aging.
(2016-03)
Predicting future events based on previous knowledge about the environment is critical for successful everyday interactions. Here, we ask which brain regions support our ability to predict the future based on implicit ...
Learning temporal statistics for sensory predictions in mild cognitive impairment.
(2015-08)
Training is known to improve performance in a variety of perceptual and cognitive skills. However, there is accumulating evidence that mere exposure (i.e. without supervised training) to regularities (i.e. patterns that ...
Men and women differ in their perception of gender bias in research institutions.
(2019)
There is extensive evidence of gender inequality in research leading to insufficient representation of women in leadership positions. Numbers revealing a gender gap in research are periodically reported by national and ...
Feel the Noise: Relating Individual Differences in Auditory Imagery to the Structure and Function of Sensorimotor Systems.
(2015-11)
Humans can generate mental auditory images of voices or songs, sometimes perceiving them almost as vividly as perceptual experiences. The functional networks supporting auditory imagery have been described, but less is ...
Impaired generalization of speaker identity in the perception of familiar and unfamiliar voices.
(2016-12)
In 2 behavioral experiments, we explored how the extraction of identity-related information from familiar and unfamiliar voices is affected by naturally occurring vocal flexibility and variability, introduced by different ...
Neural correlates of the affective properties of spontaneous and volitional laughter types.
(2017-01-27)
Previous investigations of vocal expressions of emotion have identified acoustic and perceptual distinctions between expressions of different emotion categories, and between spontaneous and volitional (or acted) variants ...
How many voices did you hear? Natural variability disrupts identity perception from unfamiliar voices.
(2019-08)
Our voices sound different depending on the context (laughing vs. talking to a child vs. giving a speech), making within-person variability an inherent feature of human voices. When perceiving speaker identities, listeners ...
