A round-up of recent discoveries in behavior research
Covering the life sciences inside and out
Researchers find that reducing mitochondrial protein production in some animals can increase lifespan by activating a protective stress response.
For the first time, researchers visualize zebrafish memory retrieval in real time.
The NIH has required researchers to receive instruction about responsible conduct for more than 20 years, but misconduct is still on the rise.
Should institutions invest in changing the behavior of scientists found guilty of violating research rules and ethics?
Mice that explore more have higher levels of neurogenesis, suggesting a link between experience, brain plasticity, and the emergence of distinct personalities.
Artificially induced bacterial infections in mosquitoes could reduce the spread of malaria-causing parasites.
What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
As telomeres shorten with age, genes as far as 1,000 kilobases away could be affected, including one responsible for an inherited muscle disease.
Hybrid viruses derived from an H5N1 bird flu strain can infect guinea pigs through the air.
