Although information theoretic approaches have been used extensively in the analysis of the neural code, they have yet to be used to describe how information is accumulated in time while sensory systems are categorizing dynamic sensory stimuli such as speech sounds or visual objects.Here, we present a novel method to estimate the cumulative informa
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the public delayed seeking medical help, which may have affected the impact of having an ectopic pregnancy.An ectopic pregnancy is when pregnancy tissue grows outside its normal position in the womb, and it can be life-threatening.It can be treated by non-surgical or surgical options, and any delay in seeking help can
Abstract WDR11, a gene associated with Kallmann syndrome, is important in reproductive system development but molecular understanding of its action remains incomplete.We previously reported that Wdr11-deficient embryos exhibit defective ciliogenesis and developmental defects associated with Hedgehog (HH) signalling.Here we demonstrate that WDR11 is
We conducted a floristic survey of ferns within the Murici Ecological Station (remnant of the northeastern Commercial Atlantic Forest), located near the municipalities of Messias and Murici, in the state of Alagoas, Brazil.To increase knowledge of the ferns of Alagoas, we evaluated the species occurring in the study area in terms of richness, compo
Coral Calcium BackgroundAedes aegypti, the "yellow fever mosquito", is the primary vector to humans of the four serotypes of dengue viruses (DENV1-4) and yellow fever virus (YFV) and is a known vector of Chikungunya virus.There are two recognized subspecies of Ae.aegypti sensu latu (s.l.): the presumed ancestral form, Ae.aegypti formosus (Aaf), a p
