rodgers (rg) and chido (ch) are blood-group antigens and they determine the fourthcomponent of human complement c4. rodgers and chido are associated with two c4 isotypes (c4a and c4b). in addition to genotype determination, study on expression of rg and chido could be useful in disease studies. dna was extracted from the whole blood of 60 normal individuals. then, pcr amplification of c4d gene ...

In this issue of Neuron, Rodgers and DeWeese (2014) developed a new paradigm in which rats had to select or ignore an auditory stimulus, depending on its context. The authors recorded neurons in primary auditory and medial prefrontal cortex. Surprisingly, they found that stimulus context had the largest effect in the moments before the stimulus was presented.

human language, over its evolutionary history, has emerged as one of the fundamental defining characteristic of the modern man. however, this milestone evolutionary process through natural selection has not left any ’linguistic fossils’ that may enable us to trace back the actual course of development of language and its establishment in human societies. lacking analytical tools to fathom the cr...

Serenity is an emotional experience that contributes to the acceptance of a situation. One phenomenon in the care of chronically ill older patients and patients in end of life care is that too much focus is placed on the patient’s disease. This can contribute to anxiety, sadness or sense of isolation. For older people that are chronically ill or in care at the end of life, it is important that ...

In this paper, we describe influence of viewpoints of observation in an interactive evolutionary robotics system. We have been proposed a behavior learning system ICS (Interactive Classifier System) using interactive evolutionary computation. In this system, a mobile robot is able to quickly learn rules by direct teaching of a human operator. ICS is a novel evolutionary robotics approach using ...
