Nerve fibers enabling language connection discovered in chimpanzee brains

Nerve fibers enabling language connection discovered in chimpanzee brains

Language processing in humans depends on the neuronal connection between language areas in the brain. Until recently, this language network was thought to be uniquely human.

How whisker-generated sounds are encoded in the auditory cortex of mice

How whisker-generated sounds are encoded in the auditory cortex of mice

Nestled in dark burrows, with a limited sense of vision, mice brush their whiskers against their environment to navigate and to detect objects around them. This behavior, termed whisking, has been extensively studied in the past few decades and has traditionally been viewed as purely an act of touch.

Orange cats come with genetic twist: X-linked mutation points to new mechanism for coloring

Orange cats come with genetic twist: X-linked mutation points to new mechanism for coloring

From Tama, Japan's most famous stationmaster calico cat, to the lasagna-loving, ginger Garfield, cats with orange fur are both cultural icons and beloved pets. But their distinctive color comes with a genetic twist—most orange tabbies are male, while calicos and tortoiseshells are nearly always female. This pattern points to an unknown "orange gene" on the X chromosome, but identifying this gene has eluded scientists for decades.

Stem cell model replicates human amniotic sac development past two weeks

Stem cell model replicates human amniotic sac development past two weeks

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is the first model of amniotic sac development after two weeks.

Scientists track down mutation that makes orange cats orange

Scientists track down mutation that makes orange cats orange

Scientists have confirmed that there is something unique about ginger-hued domestic felines. In a new study, Stanford Medicine researchers have discovered the long-posited but elusive genetic mutation that makes orange cats orange—and it appears to occur in no other mammal.

Queensland sites offer play and rest for migrating humpbacks

Queensland sites offer play and rest for migrating humpbacks

A new study has compared how migrating humpback whales use two stopover sites along the Queensland coast, finding that one was more social in nature and the other was used primarily by mothers and calves.

Stretched in a cross pattern: Our neighboring galaxy is pulled in two axes, new evidence indicates

Stretched in a cross pattern: Our neighboring galaxy is pulled in two axes, new evidence indicates

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have discovered that Cepheid variable stars in our neighboring galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), are moving in opposing directions along two distinct axes. They found that stars closer to Earth move towards the northeast, while more distant stars move southwest.

A plant hormone's secret passage: Researchers elucidate molecular mechanism of auxin influx

A plant hormone's secret passage: Researchers elucidate molecular mechanism of auxin influx

Auxin is the first plant hormone—or "phytohormone"—ever identified, with its discovery dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With its discovery, scientists began to understand how small, self-produced organic molecules could influence physiological processes in plants such as growth, cell division, flowering, fruit ripening, and stress responses.

New definition of domestication challenges traditional views on domestic species

New definition of domestication challenges traditional views on domestic species

Cats, dogs and farm animals are what come to mind when we think of domesticated animals. For ages, domestication has been portrayed as a uniquely human accomplishment, where species become domestic only through our deliberate control.
