Ants are simple creatures. They live by simple rules: if you see a scrap of food, pick it up; if you see a pile of food, drop the food you are carrying. Out of such simple behaviour, an ant colony ...

Researchers have discovered how networks of neurons in fruit flies transform simple brain signals into coordinated actions. This sheds light on the neural mechanisms underlying complex behaviors for ...

The orientation of a line at a given position in visual space is represented by a small volume of primary visual cortex, known as an orientation column. Although cells within such a column share some ...

The power of today's 'omics' technologies allows rich and detailed characterizations of the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular function 1,2,3. More than ever before, there are the resources and ...

In patients with coronary bifurcation lesions, both simple and complex stenting strategies substantially improve quality of life (QoL), with a reduced need for antianginal drugs. The results, from a ...
