Getting a monkey to do your bidding: Developing a Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) method for use in monkeys
(2018-06-30)The Becker-DeGroot-Marschak method (BDM) is an auction-like mechanism widely used in behavioural economics, marketing research, and, more recently, in neuroimaging studies of human decision making. The BDM has never been ... -
Investigating non-canonical vertebral development in the zebrafish model system
(2018-07-21)A segmented vertebral column is one of the major innovations vertebrates. In mice and chicks – amniotes – a subpopulation of the somites, the sclerotome, is sole source of vertebral tissue. It is unclear, however, how ... -
Investigating novel direct Notch targets in Drosophila neural stem cells
(2018-07-21)Notch signalling is an evolutionary highly conserved signalling pathway. It plays various important roles in the regulation of many fundamental cellular processes such as proliferation, stem cell maintenance and differentiation ... -
The development and evolution of vertebrate oxygen-sensing cells
(2014-05-17)Oxygen-sensing cells release neurotransmitters, including serotonin, in response to hypoxia in the blood or surrounding air/water. This stimulates the glossopharyngeal and/or vagal nerves, triggering increased ventilation ...
