Loving the Long Shot: Risk Taking with Skewed Lotteries
We develop a new protocol, adapted from the Eckel and Grossman (2002, 2008) risk measure, to elicit skewness preferences. The new lottery choices have the same expected payoffs and risk (variance) as the original choices, but with increasing degrees of positive skewness. We find that our subjects are skewness-seekers. More importantly, positive skewness in the payoff structure increases the num...
متن کاملThe basal ganglia: learning new tricks and loving it.
The field of basal ganglia research is exploding on every level - from discoveries at the molecular level to those based on human brain imaging. A remarkable series of new findings support the view that the basal ganglia are essential for some forms of learning-related plasticity. Other new findings are challenging some of the basic tenets of the field as it now stands. Combined with the new ev...
متن کاملOxytocin: taking the heat
Oxytocin-in-Uniject satisfied the standards of its temperature-time indicator (TTI) in severe home storage conditions, although that required resupply every 30 days-a logistically onerous programmatic standard. Possible advances include: (1) incorporating TTIs with packaged batches of less expensive and more widely used conventional vials of oxytocin; (2) using TTIs calibrated more closely to t...
متن کاملCell Shape: Taking the Heat
Preservation of cell architecture under physically stressful conditions is a basic requirement for many biological processes and is critical for mechanosensory systems built to translate subtle changes in cell shape into changes in organism behaviour. A new study reveals how an extracellular protein--Spam--helps mechanosensory organs in the fruit fly to withstand the effects of the water loss t...
متن کاملLucas Pelkmans: Taking it from the top
E ndocytic pathways in mammalian cells are too varied and complex to ever be fully understood by traditional cell biological methods, thinks Lucas Pelkmans. Instead, data-driven omics approaches and mathematical mod-eling will be more effective in revealing how the endocytic system works as a whole. Crucial to Pelkmans' studies are mammalian viruses, which enter and infect cells via many differ...
