Partial information transfer from peripheral visual streams to foveal visual streams may be mediated through local primary visual circuits by Andrea I. Costantino, Benjamin O. Pelzer, Mark A. Williams, Matthew J. Crossley

“…However, despite this organization, task-relevant feedback about peripheral stimuli can be decoded in unstimulated foveal cortex, and disrupting this feedback impairs discrimination behavior. The information encoded by this feedback remains unclear, as prior studies used computer-generated objects ill-suited to dissociate different representation types. …”

Interactions of juvenile hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone, developmental genes, and miRNAs during pupal development in Apis mellifera by T. S. Depintor, F. C. P. Freitas, N. Hernandes, F. M. F. Nunes, Z. L. P. Simões

“…Abstract Insect development is primarily controlled by juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), which regulate gene cascades leading to changes in phenotype, physiology, and behavior. Besides these hormones, microRNAs play a crucial role in insect development by regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. …”
