(2008) now challenge the assumption that the odorant-binding protein LUSH passively transports its pheromone to a specific olfactory receptor. Instead, LUSH undergoes a conformational change upon pheromone binding that is sufficient for neuronal activation.

Circadian Biology: The Supporting Cast Takes On a Starring Role

Brain circuits are generally thought to consist solely of neurons communicating with other neurons. In Drosophila, glia-to-neuron signaling has now been shown to be critical to the function of the circadian circuit.

On Prediction in Theorist

Thielscher, M., On prediction in Theorist (Research Note), Artificial Intelligence 60 (1993) 283-292. Theorist is a well-known framework and system for nonmonotonic reasoning which provides mechanisms for dealing with both explanations for observations and skeptical prediction. Its current implementation, developed by David Poole and co-workers, uses an algorithm for prediction which holds for ...
