Derivation of Corneal Keratocyte-Like Cells from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Corneal diseases such as keratoconus represent a relatively common disorder in the human population. However, treatment is restricted to corneal transplantation, which only occurs in the most advanced cases. Cell based ...
Normalized Neural Representations of Complex Odors
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
The olfactory system removes correlations in natural odors using a network of inhibitory neurons in the olfactory bulb. It has been proposed that this network integrates the response from all olfactory receptors and inhibits ...
The Kinematics of Plant Nutation Reveals a Simple Relation between Curvature and the Orientation of Differential Growth
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Nutation is an oscillatory movement that plants display during their development. Despite its ubiquity among plants movements, the relation between the observed movement and the underlying biological mechanisms remains ...
Awake, Offline Processing during Associative Learning
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Offline processing has been shown to strengthen memory traces and enhance learning in the absence of conscious rehearsal or awareness. Here we evaluate whether a brief, two-minute offline processing period can boost ...
Prediction of Vigilant Attention and Cognitive Performance Using Self-Reported Alertness, Circadian Phase, Hours since Awakening, and Accumulated Sleep Loss
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Sleep restriction causes impaired cognitive performance that can result in adverse consequences in many occupational settings. Individuals may rely on self-perceived alertness to decide if they are able to adequately perform ...
