Near-random connections support top-down feature-based attentional modulations in early sensory cortex. by Sunyoung Park, John T Serences

“…Collectively, these results suggest that a delicate balance between randomness and structure can support top-down feedback signals that globally enhance sensory neurons tuned to relevant features, without leading to spurious stimulus representations that might interfere with perceptual processing.…”

The scale of zebrafish pectoral fin buds is determined by intercellular K+ levels and consequent Ca2+-mediated signaling via retinoic acid regulation of Rcan2 and Kcnk5b. by Xiaowen Jiang, Kun Zhao, Yi Sun, Xinyue Song, Chao Yi, Tianlong Xiong, Sen Wang, Yi Yu, Xiduo Chen, Run Liu, Xin Yan, Christopher L Antos

“…Using the zebrafish pectoral fin bud as a model for early vertebrate fin/limb development, we found that K+ channels also scale this anatomical structure, and we determined how one K+-leak channel, Kcnk5b, integrates into its developmental program. …”

Marine environmental monitoring programmes in South Africa: a review by L. Hutchings, M. Roberts, H. Verheye

“…These observations need to continue; even though the single-species stock assessment and operational management procedures have not yet formally used environmental factors for fisheries management advice, they help us to understand the factors affecting fish population fluctuations and early life histories and to identify large-scale regime shifts where marine trophic structure and functioning alter to a new state.…”

Validation and dyadic invariance of the Infertility Concerns Questionnaire among Brazilian couples by Victor Zaia, Victor Zaia, Paola Gremigni, Giulia Casu

“…Both partners of all couples completed the ICQ, and a subsample of 168 couples also completed a measure of infertility-related stress. The factor structure of the ICQ was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis, and measurement invariance across couple members was tested within a dyadic framework.ResultsConfigural, metric, partial scalar, and strict measurement invariance was supported for the ICQ’s theoretical two-factor model of infertility concerns as made of parental (PAR - Examines the central role that the theme of procreation assumes in the construction of individual identity) and communication (COM - Investigates the significance of interpersonal sharing of reflections and experiences related to the decision to have—or not to have—children) dimensions. …”
