Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.

Researchers have uncovered shared genetic pathways that link multiple psychiatric disorders. These new findings have the potential to change the way psychiatric disorders are diagnosed and treated, ...

Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a cornerstone of computational biology, facilitating the exploration of functional, structural and evolutionary relationships among biological sequences.

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

Our understanding of mental illness is undergoing a major evolution, driven by recent advances in genetics. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms observed in consultation, research is now interested ...
