To this end, the present study started with t...
متن کاملThinking big with small molecules
Synthetic chemistry has enabled scientists to explore the frontiers of cell biology, limited only by the laws of chemical bonding and reactivity. As we investigate biological questions of increasing complexity, new chemical technologies can provide systems-level views of cellular function. Here we discuss some of the molecular probes that illustrate this shift from a "one compound, one gene" pa...

Is there a neural system dedicated to generic magnitude judgments?
