Two Americans, a mathematician and a sociologist, have developed a mathematical model that makes it easier to understand the complexity and dynamic of cultural transmission. They have used simulations to examine how a company's socialization processes and its demographic flow, i.e. employee turnover and recruitment, may a...

Mechanisms of local protein quality control in the presynaptic nerve terminal remain largely unknown. In this issue of Neuron, Uytterhoeven et al. (2015) describe a form of synaptic endosomal microautophagy controlling protein rejuvenation, critical for optimal synaptic activity.

Although several studies have empirically supported the distinction between organizational identification (OI) and affective commitment (AC), there is still disagreement regarding how they are related. Precisely, little attention has been given to the direction of causality between these two constructs and as to why they have common antecedents and outcomes. This research was designed to fill t...
