CBGTPy: An extensible cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic framework for modeling biological decision making. by Matthew Clapp, Jyotika Bahuguna, Cristina Giossi, Jonathan E Rubin, Timothy Verstynen, Catalina Vich

“…Here we introduce CBGTPy, a virtual environment for designing and testing goal-directed agents with internal dynamics that are modeled on the cortico-basal-ganglia-thalamic (CBGT) pathways in the mammalian brain. CBGTPy enables researchers to investigate the internal dynamics of the CBGT system during a variety of tasks, allowing for the formation of testable predictions about animal behavior and neural activity. …”

Cloning Approaches for Identifying Aging and Longevity-Related Genes in Mammals by Davina C. Simoes, Efstathios S. Gonos

“…Many differentially expressed genes have been implicated, but the mechanisms governing mammalian aging (and longevity) are not yet fully understood, and the list of concerned genes is still incomplete and fragmented. …”

Interaction among Cells of Bone, Immune System, and Solid Tumors Leads to Bone Metastases by Ilaria Roato

“…Moreover, immune system and bone have a bidirectional relationship: bone cells express surface molecules ruling the expansion of hemopoietic stem cells from which all cells of the mammalian immune system derive, and various immunoregulatory cytokines influence the fate of bone cells. …”

Plaque Rupture-Induced Myocardial Infarction and Mechanical Circulatory Support in Alpha-Gal Allergy by Sohab S. Radwan, Gauravpal Gill, Amre Ghazzal, Awais Malik, Christopher Barnett

“…Alpha-gal (AG) allergy is an IgE-mediated allergic reaction to galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose found in mammalian meat. Heparin, being derived from porcine intestinal tissue, may have a degree of cross-reactivity with AG antigen and thus place patients at risk for allergic and even anaphylactic reactions. …”

Polycystic Diseases in Visceral Organs by Shakila Abdul-Majeed, Surya M. Nauli

“…Primary cilia are nonmotile, microtubule-based, antenna-like organelles projecting from the apical surface of most mammalian cells. Elegant studies have established the importance of ciliary structure and function in signal transduction and the sensory roles of cilia in maintaining healthy cellular state. …”

The Rickettsia actin-based motility effectors RickA and Sca2 contribute differently to cell-to-cell spread and pathogenicity by Cuong J. Tran, Zahra Zubair-Nizami, Ingeborg M. Langohr, Matthew D. Welch

“…Our results are important for understanding the contribution of actin-based motility to mammalian infection by Rickettsia parkeri as well as to infection by other bacterial and viral pathogens that require this process to spread between cells and cause disease.…”

How Senses Work Together: Cross-Modal Interactions between Primary Sensory Cortices by Manuel Teichert, Jürgen Bolz

“…All these behaviors are mediated by highly complex processing mechanisms in our brain and reflect responses to many important sensory inputs. The mammalian cerebral cortex, which processes the sensory information, consists of largely specialized sensory areas mainly receiving information from their corresponding sensory modalities. …”

Stress Effects on Multiple Memory System Interactions by Deborah Ness, Pasquale Calabrese

“…Extensive behavioural, pharmacological, and neurological research reports stress effects on mammalian memory processes. While stress effects on memory quantity have been known for decades, the influence of stress on multiple memory systems and their distinct contributions to the learning process have only recently been described. …”

Human Flea Pulex irritans Linnaeus, 1758 (Insecta: Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) by Chad L. Cross, Estelle Martin, Lucas Brendel

“…The human flea is cosmopolitan (Mullen and Durden 2019, Gage 2005, Marquardt et al. 2000), but is found in highest abundance in areas where it can readily find mammalian hosts. Though its relative abundance and overall medical importance is disputed, this flea has been implicated as a potentially important vector of the human pathogens causing plague and murine typhus as well as serving as a potential vector of a tapeworm known to parasitize humans (Eldridge and Edman 2004). …”

Functional Consequences of the Disturbances in the GABA-Mediated Inhibition Induced by Injuriesin the Cerebral Cortex by Barbara Imbrosci, Thomas Mittmann

“…Since GABAergic transmission provides the main source of inhibition in the mammalian brain, this condition may lead to hyperexcitability and epileptiform activity of cortical networks. …”

Placental Implications of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors in Gestation and Parturition by Valerie Borel, Denis Gallot, Geoffroy Marceau, Vincent Sapin, Loïc Blanchon

“…The placenta is a transitory structure indispensable for the proper development of the embryo and fetus during mammalian gestation. Like other members of the nuclear receptor family, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are known to be involved in the physiological and pathological events occurring during the placentation. …”
