Greek anatomical nomenclature: the urgent need for evidence-based standardization
Published: November 3, 2025 11:00
Greek has shaped anatomical terminology for over two millennia, providing much of the lexical foundation of the Terminologia Anatomica. Despite this profound legacy, modern Greek anatomical nomenclature remains only partially aligned with the latest…
The Equilibrium Conundrum
Published: November 2, 2025 11:00
The idea that natural systems tend to be at equilibrium dates back to the origin of the field of ecology and continues to underlie most ecological theory. However, empirical evidence for equilibrium dynamics in nature and in experiments is surprisingly…
Notes on the History of In Vitro Hippocampal Electrophysiology and LTP: Personal Reflections
Published: October 30, 2025 10:00
This essay describes the development of the in vitro hippocampal slice technique and my small contributions to it and to influencing Roger Nicoll's early interests in the hippocampus and LTP. My Ph.D. work at Harvard with Timothy Teyler was on field…
James A. Estes: An ecologist's quest to understand nature
Published: October 29, 2025 10:00
For five decades, Jim A. Estes studied sea otters in the Aleutian archipelago of Alaska, discovering how otters structured entire communities. By consuming sea urchins, otters released kelp from herbivory, kelp beds flourished, and kelps sheltered a…
In memoriam of Frantiek Balt on the centenary of his birth
Published: October 21, 2025 10:00
This paper is dedicated to the memory of the prominent Czechoslovak ornithologist and phthirapterist Frantiek Balt (22 July 192520 April 1992), who would have celebrated his centenary this year. Both published and unpublished data, and memories from his…
The people behind the papers - Manuel Baizabal, Sophie Warren and Bader El Farran
Published: October 20, 2025 10:00
Multiple transcription factors and chromatin-modifying enzymes are known to regulate cortical neurogenesis and neuronal migration in the mammalian cerebral cortex. In their work, Manuel Baizabal and colleagues show that PR domain-containing 16 (PRDM16), a…
The Concord Field Station at Harvard University: foundational contributions to organismal physiology and biomechanics
Published: October 20, 2025 10:00
Progress in understanding animal function has been tremendously facilitated by research conducted at field stations that provide access to locations, organisms and equipment not otherwise available in more traditional urban universities or research…
Celebrating neuropathology's contributions to Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers
Published: October 14, 2025 10:00
Our understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) has grown exponentially, thanks to significant investments by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). This article celebrates the 40th anniversary of the NIA's Alzheimer's Disease…
The people behind the papers - Ksenia Kudryashova and Olga Kyrchanova
Published: October 13, 2025 10:00
Hox genes, such as Drosophila Abdominal-B (Abd-B), regulate the morphogenesis of specific anatomical regions along the anteroposterior axis in vertebrates. In their work, Olga Kyrchanova and colleagues find that specific initiator sequences control the…
Recounting the history of polyploid research in D. melanogaster: 1 century since 2 reports of 3 flies with 4 sets of chromosomes
Published: October 11, 2025 10:00
One hundred years ago, two reports appeared of tetraploid D. melanogaster females - curiosities that had never been seen before. The authors, Calvin Bridges and Lilian Morgan, were among the famed founders of fly genetics in T.H. Morgan's lab at Columbia…
The people behind the papers - Gabrielle Audu and Archana Kumari
Published: October 10, 2025 10:00
Embryonic development of the tongue is essential for neonatal survival, but the molecular machinery orchestrating this is still unclear. In their latest study, Kumari and colleagues characterise Gas1 expression across the embryonic tongue and demonstrate…
