Tonic immobility and phenomenal consciousness in animals: a review by Michael L. Woodruff

“…This hypothesis surrounding third-order and higher intentional states is subject to dispute, in part due to the lack of sufficient evidence indicating that the behaviors associated with death feigning, aside from TI, serve a protective function against predation. Evidence suggests that TI alone constitutes an effective mechanism for predator defense. …”

The role of recombinant LH in ovarian stimulation: what’s new? by Carlo Alviggi, Luigi Vigilante, Federica Cariati, Alessandro Conforti, Peter Humaidan

“…However, evidence exists that LH activity could be necessary in specific infertile subgroups undergoing assisted reproduction treatment (ART) who are characterized by a functional or constitutive LH deficiency. For instance, women with reduced sensitivity to gonadotropins, also called hypo-responders, usually present with a genetic condition that could impair the function of LH. …”

Proteasome inhibition triggers tissue-specific immune responses against different pathogens in C. elegans. by Manish Grover, Spencer S Gang, Emily R Troemel, Michalis Barkoulas

“…We report here that, in contrast to the previously reported role of SKN-1 in promoting resistance against bacterial infection, loss-of-function mutants in skn-1a and its activating enzymes ddi-1 and png-1 show constitutive expression of immune response programs against natural eukaryotic pathogens of C. elegans. …”

Mapping of endosomal proximity proteomes reveals Retromer as a hub for RAB GTPase regulation by Carlos Antón-Plágaro, Kai-en Chen, Qian Guo, Meihan Liu, Ashley J. Evans, Philip A. Lewis, Kate J. Heesom, Kevin A. Wilkinson, Brett M. Collins, Peter J. Cullen

“…Combining X-ray crystallography and in silico predictions with biochemical and cellular analysis, we reveal that Retromer directly associates and recruits the RAB10 regulators DENND4A, DENND4C, TBC1D1, and TBC1D4, and the RAB35 regulator TBC1D13 to regulate retrieval sub-domain function. The retrieval sub-domain therefore constitutes a hub for integrating cargo recycling with the regulated switching of selected RAB GTPases. …”

Conclusion. Le projet scientifique de la psychologie associationniste by Stéphane Madelrieux

“…We claim that the importance of the association of ideas was to allow psychology to be constituted as an empirical science of the mind. This project was made possible thanks to the new function attributed to the association from David Hume on, as it was considered not only as an habitual transition from one idea to another, but as the genetic principle of the whole mental life.…”
