A non-human primate BAC resource to study interchromosomal segmental duplications.

25 Oct 2009 Segmental duplications (SDs) are involved in the reshaping and evolutionary development of primate genome architecture. Their intrinsic property to promote genomic instability facilitates genome rearrangements, thereby contributing to karyotype ... Read more...

Prenatal dexamethasone exposure does not alter blood pressure and nephron number in the young adult marmoset monkey.

19 Sep 2009 The influence of prenatal factors on the development of arterial hypertension has gained considerable interest in recent years. Prenatal dexamethasone exposure was found to induce hypertension and to alter nephron number and size in rodents and ... Read more...

Nonlinear spectrotemporal interactions underlying selectivity for complex sounds in auditory cortex.

7 Sep 2009 In the auditory cortex of awake animals, a substantial number of neurons do not respond to pure tones. These neurons have historically been classified as "unresponsive" and even been speculated as being nonauditory. We discovered, however, that many ... Read more...
